Listen to Your Spellcheck

I have been humbled by my spelling skills, or lack thereof. I usually ignore all Spellcheck suggestions, partially because of the wrong American spellings and partially because of my confidence in typing accurately.


Well no more will I disdain assistance from artificial intelligence.


I have been working with these high value clients since I started this position 3yrs ago. They always used to intimidate me because they pay more to the government in taxes than I earn in one year - who am I to advise them on finances? Luckily we've developed a professional relationship and I've grown in my role as well. Otherwise, this would not be a funny story, but the story of how I was fired.


I wanted to send the following email:

Thank you so much for your interest in renewing your mortgage with XYZ bank. As you've been loyal clients of XYZ bank for many years, I would like to give you a discount on your renewal interest rate.

But due to a very unfortunate typo, I sent:

Thank you so much for your interest in renewing your mortgage with XYZ bank. As you've been loyal clients of XYZ bank for many years, I would like to give you a DISCOCUNT on your renewal interest rate.

That's right a DISCO c u next Tuesday! Like we're out here offering to bedazzle people's va-jay-jays and not in the business of banking.


I immediately apologized, but thank god for understanding clients.


Maybe I should open my own salon, specializing in zhuzhing up people's down there areas and call it The Cave of Wonders...
