The Importance of Being Educated.

Given the fact that I work at Wal*Mart, I work with some very interesting people. The Assistant Manager in charge of my department is Mary. She's middle aged, but older than my mother. She's grouchy and forgetful. She also cannot spell to save her life. Her last interdepartmental note was a giant run on sentence, chock full of misspellings. Including "Labers" and "Disk" - Labels and Desk. It is rather frustrating to me, as spell check wouldn't pick up the contextual error of the "Disk/desk" issue. However, Mary chooses not to use spell check! She has commented about one of our other manager's grammar issues - and suggested I take a red pen to it Grammar Nazi style. Let's not even begin to discuss that this other managers calls the department that I work in "Jewry" not "Jewelry." Ugh.

How do these people take themselves seriously? If I held a higher position in the company and received an email, misspelled and improperly punctuated, I would likely question their ability to do their job. Especially their attention to detail.
