My company runs email campaigns like any other. You know, the usual sales promotions, monthly specials, etc. Just click the unsubscribe link at the end of the email to opt out / unsubscribe permanently.
A couple of weeks ago we received an actual, honest to goodness US Postal service real snail-mail letter to our department. Written in the feminine cursive of my parents’ generation, it reads as follows:

    1. You received the letter.
    2. Although you make fun of said letter, you removed her from your spam (advertising) list.
    3. Mission Accomplished.
  • Karl Gechlik
    Wow that was an amusing read. The post and then the comments were even funnier. If you want to unsubscribe from my Internet stop stealing my damn Wifi! Damn kids nowadays with their block writing and printed homework... sheeesh back in my day....

    Oh wait

    Nothing has changed just the tone of the arguments :)

    Shame.

    My mom's cursive f'in drives me BATTY!

    She is in her 60's and I am in my 30's and she will write grocery lists and everything in cursive. I honestly believe it is contributing to her beginning to lose her mind quicker. Cursive is so distracting.

    Ok, that felt better to share. Thanks for listening ;)

    That's deep.
  • Thomas
    I hope that if she ever finds out how to "unsubscribe from your internet", she'll share the secret. My internet tends to get too full at times as well.

    Hahah your Constitution was written in 'feminine cursive' you toolbag. Put down the anal bleach and hair gel before it warps your brain. Kids in Normandy with their brains spilled all over the beaches had a letter to home in their pocket just like this one. "Dear Mom: I died today. Give my steak to the dog. I hope our boys carry on so we can all live in a prosperous Democracy that is free from mindless propaganda"

    You spammers suck ass; I hate you all.
  • YouYouMakeMeWantToBlowChunks
    Good for her. You guys doing the spamming suck ass.
  • Jay
    Too bad you never "learnt" that learnt isn't a word.
  • Robert
    HO my god wtf bbq? Someone's wrong on the internet!
  • Chris
    Learnt is a word - just because it isn't common in American English doesn't mean it isn't common in every other English speaking country. If you live in a country other than America, you probably LEARNT English from Microsoft Word or some other American source.

    For further reference, burnt, dreamt, knelt, leant, leapt, spelt, spilt, and spoilt are also all words; and often prefered despite to burned, dreamed, kneeled, leaned, leaped, spelled, spilled and spoiled regardless of whether they are probably more correct or not.

    sigh. "definately" is definitely not a word.
  • klompy
    learnt is definately a word.
  • pepe
    learnt v. A past tense and a past participle of learn.
