(I know, I had a nice running theme in the title, but I couldn’t find an alternate spelling for “grammar”. That’s probably for the best.)
So I wrote my “Contact Us” message to Wet Seal on the 13rd about their “Your Single” tunic and still haven’t heard anything. I’m tempted to write a letter… on paper… sent in the mail… pretty extreme, right? But I want to know what kind of reaction the company will have if I openly express anger about the mistake on that shirt. Personally, it only irritates me when I’m looking at the web page, but this would be kinda like kids poking frogs with sticks—they want to see what will happen.
If I end up sending a letter, I’ll be sure to post it for everyone to read and then post the response (assuming I get one) from Wet Seal. Hopefully, there won’t be any grammatical mistakes if/when they write back to me…
You should send a real letter. The person who opens it up probably needs a good laugh. That is of course, if they understand the complaint. Once in a while, I’ll get to read a complaint e-mail that has been forwarded to my department (at work) for resolution. They normally include some sort of insult aimed at our intelligence by a person who doesn’t know the difference between to and too. And they always expect a response back. These e-mails crack me up! Even if you don’t get a “thank you for your interest” kind of reply, you’ll at least get to be some grumpy old guy (a letter like this is going to add at least thirty years to your age) that made everyone laugh.
By the way, I’m sitting here typing this thinking “my grammar is probably way off” and here I am talking about other people…
