Drives me crazy to see everything in lower case including his initials.

I get copied on emails like this from a person in a very high ranking position at a pretty big national retail chain all the time and I laugh at every one of them. Either this person is just to busy to bother using the shift key or to write complete sentences or she doesn't have a great grasp on the English language. In any case, I find it kind of amazing.

I've noticed that the higher up in the food chain one may be in my agency, the less computer skills present.

Honestly though, if someone posts on a forum board and their post has a lot of misspelling, such as accidentally getting a couple of letters switched, that doesn't really bother me. I just chalk that up as wanting to post something as quickly as possible.

But, it's those that seem to spell everything else correctly and use pretty decent grammar, but always seem to insist on misspelling ridiculous and lose. That makes me think they really do believe those words are rediculous and loose. I have actually witnessed school teachers on other forums use the same spelling.
