The BUGTUSSLE Chamber of Commerce is looking for volunteers to work the BUGTUSSLE Festival Carnival Ticket Booths.  If you and a friend, spouse, child over a INteresting?  ge 16, would like to volunteer please add your name and their name(s) (one name per slot) and then reply all so others can see what has been filled and what is still available.  Once we have our volunteers, I will send you instructions on where you are to meet and what time.  It is actually a lot of fun and quit INTERESTING, you never know who or WHAT you might see while selling tickets.

 

That just came through via work email.  I need to snark on this.  Bugtussle = references to where I work.k  And I work here, I don't live here.  I spend 9 hours/day (including lunch) in this town, I'm not staying late or coming up here on a weekend.

REPLY ALL????  Oh so not only are you spamming my work email box with this, you are encouraging everyone to spam everyone's email box.  I can see what you are doing - You've been tasked with managing this and you don't want to do the actual work so everyone else has to, nevermind the intrusion on everyone else.

QUIT Interesting?  You might want to proofread before sending.  I believe you meant Quite.  And if so, well, yes, especially since your choice of wording rather perpetuates the image that this carnival has (regarding drunk fools, screaming children and the like).
