Proof reading your emails is a good thing. Bad grammar I can forgive because it is loathed by most, but there is no reason why spelling can't be near perfect, if not perfect. The easiest thing to do is type an email up in a word processor, like Works or Word, and use the spell checker. All that follows is a "copy" and "paste". Spelling mistakes in personal emails are definitely a pet peeve of myne. ;) (By the way, I don't take my own advice. Few of my blogs are typed in a word processor. I'm trying not to become dependent on the spell checker.)
