Grammar Terrorist Alert

An anonymous work colleague sent me two emails yesterday.

The first, instead of saying "We used to receive free tickets,"said "We use too receive free tickets."

The colleague followed that email up with another one. Instead of saying "Yes, probably" they said "Yes, properly."

If substituting words for no apparent reason is not grammar terrorism, I don't know what is.

Was it an ad rep?
Something tells me it's an ad rep.

Even if they can spell, often people don't bother to proof-read their stuff. I think it makes them look very under-educated. - Dave
