Lazy Thumb

I get a lot of emails from people using Blackberrys.

Many of them have a special signature line at the end that says "Please excuse grammatical or typographic errors because this is sent from a handheld device."

Sorry. No.

Just because you're typing with your thumbs doesn't mean you can't proof your work. It's just laziness, pure and simple. No free pass for you.

Too bad they are here to stay. Too many companies have gotten "dependent" on them.

People can depend on them all they want. Just don't use "it's portable" as an excuse to spell and write poorly.
