  1. Ohdole. I just signed off a work email with "just in case anypony needs me". If anyone catches it, I'm blaming my iPads autocorrect.

    1. @ceruleanspark I'm sure no one will notice. And if they do, they'll most likely believe your excuse. ;P

      1. @pinhooves I'm not convinced anyone reads my emails anyway, so this will make a good test.

        1. @ceruleanspark Reminds me of when -- convinced that no one was reading my emails -- I added a crazy-detailed paragraph about how a particular project could be interrupted and delayed due to alien abduction, and how this could be made up for by the infusion of advanced alien technology. Anyway, sure enough, no one noticed. It also reminds me of when my manager back in the mid-90's wanted to upgrade all of our computers to Pentiums. He went into great detail of how Pentiums would be of benefit to us, how applications we used were being optimized for Pentiums, how it'd make us ready for Windows 95, etc. Unfortunately, his email was set to automatically correct spelling errors before sending, and "Pentium" was not a word it recognized. So, when he sent the email out to us, his manager, his manager's manager, and half of IT and Accounting, his email suddenly became how we could be so much more productive with a certain part of the male reproductive system. EVERYONE noticed that one.

    3. @ceruleanspark Like anyone would believe anything would autocorrect to anypony. I think that it would be cool if you get replies from other Bronies at your work that you didn't know were there.

      1. @daisymare My coworkers are all in their 50's and have no idea how autocorrect (Or technology in general) works.

        1. @ceruleanspark Watch one of them reply with "My faithful student..."

    4. @ceruleanspark Your inner brony is taking over...I mean even more so than normal!

    5. @ceruleanspark Heh, probably they won't notice.

    6. @ceruleanspark So, it's been over two weeks - did anyone at your work catch that?

      1. @scribus They did not.
