Now the disclaimer at the end (regarding typographical errors) is probably referring to errors in the price quote. I hope with all my heart that this the case. If companies have to tack disclaimers onto their employees' e-mails excusing their grammatical incompetence, this has become a sad world indeed. You know, I think this e-mail made me more depressed than all of the recent financial chatter. Sigh. I'm going to try to go think some happy thoughts. Ice cream, mmmmm.

I know what you mean. I HATE typographical and grammatical errors (I am a little self-conscious about having mistakes in this comment...). Especially texting language. I think I am one of the few people who has to spell out entire words when I text. What really just makes me ill is when someone unnecessarily substitutes letters. Like howz and how's. Honestly, give me a break. That was my mini-rant. I feel your pain.
