*headdesk* Never rely on spell check!

[catalyst2]

Got a very irate e-mail at work today from someone I was helping with his search for work. I had sent an e-mail to him early in the morning and then had to rush out so I just did a spell check without proof-reading.

I thought my last line was OK: "Good luck on your job search."

Sadly, it actually read "Goose lick now you dog snatch."

How does that happen? A random string of letters, I could understand, recognisable but misspelled words I could also understand but to accidentally type every word wrong in a six-word sentence AND make it into a bizarre insult? I couldn't do it again if I tried!

He was thoroughly pissed at me initially! I did ring him after his e-mail and tried to explain - I am not sure he believed me but he had stopped shouting by the end of the call. I am not sure he will ever come anywhere near me if he can help it but there you go! He didn't want to make a formal complaint which is always good.
