Count stands at 22 today for number of people stopping at my door to ask directions...
I've just received some terrible, terrible news that will negatively effect our football season. Not feeling good right now.
is it ever appropriate to tell someone they need to proofread their emails before sending? Maybe they only do this on emails to me, but I worry that they send emails to customers/higher-ups with the same glaring grammatical errors.
No, it's real.
I've been made privy the names of the Teletubby girls and it turns out at least one graduated and no longer lives in Ames. We were 1-0 with them. I was really kind of banking on that for the optimism of this season.

It's always appropriate. It's just a matter of if it's done with tact or not.
YES! I called out our HR department because their company wide communication seemed like it was typed by a 7th grader.
You'd be doing them a favor
I see emails from a lot of faculty for whom English is not a first language. I tend to cut them a little slack...
Seriously? I don't understand how anyone doesn't find this devastating news? Does someone need to post the gif in here?
my hesitation is two-fold - I have no idea how to even phrase it since I am not their boss and I'm not sure they'd take it well from me - Secondly, I have this feeling that they would reply with "yep, will work on it" and it will just stay the same because they are just not very detail-oriented. Or that they don't realize some of the things they use are incorrect.
I took French at Iowa State. Then I saw my French teacher shaving his entire body in the locker room at the rec center. I never looked at French class the same again.
