Small Things

When replying to someone's email, do you ever fix the typos that came with their original message?

Our real estate lawyer's paralegal spelled 'attorney' wrong in her subject line. I fixed it when I replied to her message.

I usually hope my correspondent won't notice that I corrected them, but I feel slightly lighter in my heart knowing a small piece of the universe has been put back into alignment.

(I know, I'm not entirely perfect. No need for you to search the blog for words that I used in the wrong manner or misspelled. There are far better causes for your time -- or gosh, just go get 15 minutes more sleep tonight instead!)
