I work in an office setting, and with that comes a lot of email. I spend at least a few minutes every day thanking the powers that be that I was born a reader, and that I have a fierce grasp of my native language. I spend at least half an hour every day reading emails that make my soul feel like it’s being poked with a rusty spoon.

In order to share the crazy with you, I’m creating this new category, called “grammar corner,” where I will share the gems that come across my desk. Generally I will paraphrase the emails, to maintain anonymity of the writers and to not inadvertently let any industry info slip (the internet is a dangerous place)!

Without further ado:

“This isn’t final yet, but can you please take a peak…”
