I got this in my email twoday:
We in University Housing continue to strife to provide a safe and inclusive community that supports your academic goals and personal achievements.
It annoys me grately that people right like this. I mean, that’s reely not even close. What’s more, that came from the Director of University Housing. I don’t think thiers a hole lot more to be said about that.
Is your use of right instead of write, and reely typos or a way to mock UW Housing?
On a second reading your typing is so bad it must be on purpose.
collin, ewe shud relly lern ta spel.
Yeah, it was on purpose. I was hoping people would note the director of University Housing’s unfortunate use of strife instead of strive, because it really messed the sentence up… I couldn’t think of any more words to change to things that sounded right but weren’t correct…
