Do you feel embarrased when..

I often make some stupid grammar and spelling errors when I email my clients and realise it later. I wonder if it creates a bad impression. I often feel embarassed and regret for not checking the email before pressing the send button.

What about you

Do people really care about correct grammar? To me the information is more important then if the person put a period at the end of the sentence. Or even accidentally said forget instead of forgot,etc.

well forget, forgot is ok. Few moments I emailed a potential client and by mistake typed if instead of is because f and s are close

and unfortunately the sentence didn't make any sense. He was replying me within 15 minutes asking questions. Now he hasnt replied since 1.5 hours so I was just wondering

I often feel that way when I see myself or someone in my company use incorrect spelling or punctuation. I guess some people care more than others... Don't think it's any sort of deal breaker though

It's not a big deal but I do think it looks better and more professional if there are no grammatical errors.

in general like here on the forums and such I dont care, Its whatever. but on anything official I am doing It has to be 100% correct and profosinal looking. Either way I will question myself like what if I spelled it right or made it look more legit I could have done better, so I just do shit right the first time. But like I said on the fourms i just bang away at the keyboard

If you're using Outlook, set a delay on your emails. 2 mins or something should do the trick. That way you can stop it sending if you realise you made a stupid typo.

I write tons of emails daily and make the odd typo. It's not really an issue as long as you don't do it all the time.

But seriously, I think if its a few mistakes here and there won't really matter. Unless you are making yourself out to be a corporation.
