Feeling another diatribe coming on. Faulty spelling is bad enough especially with spell-check programs. But rampant illiteracy is truly appalling. About a week back, A. received an official memorandum written by one of those oafs who only think they know what i.e. means, as if "imbecile's example". This thing had a top-level manager's signature on it and effectively suggested that everyone's E-Mail address is something like 'JohnDoe@moronville.gov'. The manager passed the question sent to some lackey who had the audacity to suggest A. had not read the thing closely and it meant giving an example. That ninny now knows i.e. is the POLAR OPPOSITE of giving an example, but in this monkey read, monkey write society that letter still amounts to an illiteracy promotion.
