As much as I agree with you, if you're writing a public missive about the future of your company, it doesn't make sense to publish the draft, much less the draft you wrote through heartbroken tears. There's a professional context to consider.

Particularly when if you paste the first paragraph (all three and a bit lines of it) into Word it points out the "Id/I'd" error and two other errors (traveling [sic] and hasnt [sic]).

Zero skill, knowledge or emotional togetherness required.

> traveling [sic]

I take it you're in the Commonwealth? A US copy of Word shouldn't flag that.

Fair point but the other two count.

You Americans should get that spell checker bug fixed though. ;-)
