No, Kendall, you are not! I have railed against the modern age, where secretaries are downsized, and captains of industry with the literary skills of chimps are empowered by churning out half baked scribblings that the computer makes look like a proper letter.

So this is what I do. I use a red pen, highlight every mistake, be it spelling, grammar or syntax, and give it '3 out of ten for effort' at the bottom, with a 'must try harder' for good measure, and send it back. It is especially pleasing if the rejected letter contains a pre-paid envelope.

Result, I am perceived as an anachronistic irrelevant jerk, and it gets binned.

But I feel better!
