GET IT RIGHT!

Don't you hate it when people mix up the works in popular phrases in an attempt to make themselves sound smarter? We have e-mail evidence of our claim. For example:

  1. "Don't make a mountain out of a MULE hill..."
  2. "That is a MUTE point..."
  3. "I'm enjoying the FRENCH benefits..."
  4. "The organization is celebrating their CENTENERARY..." (Centenary)
  5. "I have merchandise for SELL..." and "You know they say that sex SALES..."
--- OK, this sends me to the MOON. PLEASE learn when to use the word Sell v Sale.

Moving on to office tomfoolery:

Here's something totally confusing from an IT trainer in a corporation:

"...we strongly encourage you not to change this setting..." WHAT?

And one from the office manager:

"...please bring all of your outgoing mail to the 6th floor mailroom by 4:30 pm for posting and handling..." Huh? Where is she going to post it? She actually had the nerve to send that e-mail out twice this week!
