Wallstreetbets has ruined even the regular best regards, and I only use regards now as a subtle insult in professional email signatures now.

[-] Michal@programming.dev 4 points 12 hours ago

Yep, happened to me. But instead of "best regards", i usually end with simple "regards" which may have made it worse. I immediately followed up with an email profusely apologizing.

[-] anonymous111@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

I finished an email with "Breast regards" once. I'm very glad someone pointed that out :D

I once sent an email to the President of Engineering to justify tuition reimbursement.

I told him that my ASS (should have been AAS) has been extremely beneficial to both the company and myself and I would like to take the next step and get my BSME.

He never responded.

That other acronym had a lot of potential either

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 51 points 21 hours ago

Probably should have slowed down.

For important emails I always draft the message before adding the recipient's email address. Then, I review it before finally adding in the email and hitting send.

And then you notice the typo, and feel even dumber.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago

Which is why I use that Gmail feature where you can undo send

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

You didn't hold back with that joke.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Alternate punch lines are tight!

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 3 points 18 hours ago

Without delay

Friendly reminder that 'nugget' is only two minor typos from being quite offensive.

When I worked at a lab there was a student with the last name Jark. Autocorrect felt it should be jerk. Luckily it effected everyone so he took it in stride.

I do appreciate comments like these, which is unfortunate; I would have enjoyed replying to this with "Jark!"

I used to sweat trying to explain nitter to people (RIP).

Every furry who likes Scar from The Lion King making damn sure they press R and not T.

I got an advanced certificate from the City University of New York (CUNY). I had to write several work emails and fill out several forms to get my workplace to pay for it. The letter Y is next to the letter T on the keyboard. I think you can see where this is going.

[-] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago

Why don't you have that part in your signature tho

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 hours ago

Because it's not part of my signature?

It doesn't mean much but I actually have had people notice that I manually type mine because I use different ones with different people / depending on the situation, so it feels like I actually mean them

[-] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

I leave that part blank. Some people don't deserve the best regards.

[-] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

Have some regards, dog

[-] tenacious_mucus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 19 hours ago

I actually read that 2 or 3 times wondering why T and G were circled, wondering what was the issue here….then I finally noticed… maybe whomever the email was sent never even noticed!

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Maybe you type that word too much. Bad habit

[-] _____@lemm.ee 3 points 20 hours ago

Always write correspondence into either notepad or an email body without a filled in address.
