Spell Czech

Ok... time out. I just received an e-mail that I have to share. Let me back up a bit, first. Today was the first day of my second class at Wayland Baptist University. I have the same instructor as last semester. Today, she got on the subject spelling and punctuation and folks with high-paying jobs not knowing the difference between its and it's.... to, two, and too... etc... We all make these mistakes... I do it all the time. My brain says the word... my fingers type something else.

I had sent away for my high school transcript a few weeks ago, but it got lost in the mail. I called the administrative offices and asked them to send another copy. They were very helpful and agreed to do so. I sent a confirmation e-mail, just to make sure that she had the correct spelling of my name and the correct address to which to send the transcript. Here is her reply:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR EMAIL, I WAS JUST DIGGING FOR YOUR PAPERWORK AND WE FILE BY YOUR MAIDEN NAME. I HAD KNOW IDEA UNTIL I HEARD FROM YOU.
THANKS,
CINDY

And another e-mail from a friend who was looking for some purchasing advice... he has a master's degree. "No of any good deals out there?"

Now, this Cindy person is probably very well educated. And I know my friend with the master's degree is a heckuva lot smarter than I (and I'll never hear the end of it if/when he reads this). Butt its nice two no theirs hope four me yet.

**Late addition to the list** At the Spurs game, an Alamo Heights woman, who is always there with her big hair and her latest crochet project, got into a discussion with Michael about how great some of the players were in regards to their giving to the community. Somehow, Bill Gates was brought up. She said someting like this... "yeah, and he's such an anthropologist."
