One of my work colleagues is dyslexic – or just a lazy speller/typer, I can’t decide which.
A perfect example of her messages to me is this one :
the browses upload thnag ain’t workoign for me today so i’ve copied to T:\phase1 let me kno wif you need any more info on this CHeers
Good, innit? I just wish I’d made any of it up…
Reminds me of a former colleague, a branch office manager who would send us frequent emails about things he thought we needed to sort out for him – a list of 10 or 15 items, all badly spelled, unpunctuated, and without any paragraphing or line breaks in the list at all. My boss refused to read them – whenever one arrived, he would forward it straight on to me for conversion into something legible.
I didn’t think Adrian Sevitz was working at the moment…
That looks just like every instant message I and my work colleagues exchange with one another. We’re all friends. We all know what we mean. None of us are dyslexic. None of us are pedants.
I believe the technical term is sausage fingers.
That is a lazy typer, who looks at the keyboard and not at what they have written, either that or they haven’t discovered “delete” on the keyboard. That would piss me off. Maybe you should ask if they are dyslexic, just to be sure!! 🙂
