Copy Paste and Spell Check

I work in a firm famous for it's exceptional communication skills. Every possible form of communication is standardised and drilled into the people when they join.

A victim of this practice is the innocent mail through which the output of our efforts is communicated. Analysed in so great a detail, a lot of people tend to get fanatical about it. The rest of us follow the blissful solution: copy paste.

This has led to various problems. Letters meant for Mikes have been sent addressed to Johns.

Bloopers in mails create hilarious situations. Couple of real instances-

Instead of "I will be sending you the information in five to six hours" the mail read "I will be sending you the information in five to six years"!!!

"Hope you are doing well" got replaced by "Hope you are doping well" :-))

Some errors even the trusted spell check can't detect!
