Perhaps you could tell them you need to "circle back around" to it.

I wish I would have saved it, it was priceless. I got a memo at work years ago from a guy who I thought should have known better, but after I saw his spelling, I could never look at him the same way again.

The memo actually passed all spell checking, but he used "there/their/they're", "would/wood", and a whole lot of other words incorrectly.

The difference between "Let's eat Grandma" and "Lets eat Grandma".

I though that sentence would be used to demonstrate the value of a well-placed comma.

"Let's eat Grandma", versus "Let's eat, Grandma."

Yep, people need to say that right too. Folks, it's couldn't. I know you know that. :) Still not as bad as people pronouncing nuclear as 'nook-ya-lur'. I guess I got sensitized to that during the dubya years. ;)

But I live in a college town and the local market has a sign that says "12 items or fewer".

Shouldn't it be "12 or fewer items"? Just asking. :D

It goes back to before dubya if you're old enough to remember. Jimmy Carter couldn't say it, either. And he had been an officer under Rickover. :mad2:

Yeah, but still. That word has been misspelled by many people who should know better. I read one article about a college having some function like a fundraising banquet, and the banner over the stage read "Excellance in Education."

Just can't excape these things.

What about the high school that had a banner touting "Pubic Education?"
 
"We'll circle back to you on that after we add some color."

You're saposta beabada figure this out!
 
And it's "soloed," not "solo'd." :mad2:
 
Commas are also the difference between knowing your **** and knowing you're ****.
 
"Cannot" is one word, not two. Same for "into."
