You might be lucky that at present you work with a bunch of f*wits who can't spell, but poor spelling indicates poor education and lack of attention to detail, and in a future role it could really count against you.

By correcting your spelling now I'm helping your future career.

From the article:

"Sir Fred Goodwin, 50, attended a grammar school in Paisley before studying law at Glasgow University, working as an accountant with Touche Ross, Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank. He was knighted for services to banking in 2004. "

With all the banks in dire straits and the government (us) having to bail them out, why has it taken so long for one of these people to loose their jobs?
