words to avoid

[winterbadger]

Good lord! From the Highlands and Islands Enterprise

According to online communications specialist, Email Reaction there are a number of innocuous words that should be avoided in email message bodies and subject lines.

These include in alphabetical order: acceptance, accordingly, beneficiary, beverage, certified, dainty, deceased, degrees, deposit, depression, diagnostics, dollars, dormant, enlarge, foreigner, lenders, lottery, medication, paste, percent, presently, reciprocal, replicas, reseller, sincerely, statements, southwestern, Swiss, tablets, trademarks, urgent, valuables, warehouse, watches.

I can imagine avoiding these in subject lines, but that one would need to avoid them altogether in email is crazy. In another piece, the writer prides him or herself on having avoided other people's email filters by misspelling words. Is this what it's come to? Are spammers going to drive us awl intoo a wurld of mizpeling in a vein attemput to kommyoonikate?

Take a deep breath and reread your previous post.

I thought that a good protest to get the government to do something about SPAM would be to wear a T-shirt with some product or service, penis growth and diet pills would be my choice. During a debate in congress we would be in the visitors gallery and randomly stand up and shout about the product. Of course those with clearances need not apply.
