Wow, it's like that time I saw someone else end an email with "Re**t**ards" instead of "Re**g**ards". While I've never done it, I admit I've sometimes thought about it, even prior to that case :) More seriously though, as @GrayCygnus commented: > B and N are **wayy** to close each other on Qwerty keyboards which is true and also applies to letters `g` and `t` in my coworker's slip above. I can say it was so *obvious* to me that it had been a typo, that I never even mentioned anything and never observed anyone even talking about it. (People around me were reasonable.) In fact, I'm not sure he's aware of his typo to this day :) That said, just send a simple email apologizing; noting that it was typo should be enough for reasonable people. Keep it short and simple. > What approach could I take to apologize for my typo? My suggestion is: > Hi all, > > I just realized I made a typo in my previous > email and wanted to make a simple correction. > > While context is clear, I meant to say that > *[insert whatever here]* was Bigger. > > > Thanks, > > [your name] Make sure you send it to the exact same audience. > Did I damage my professional image at my company? I don't think so, if we can assume everyone is reasonable. Much less so if you send a simple apology noting that it was an unintended typo. Do not grow your simple typo into an incident of epic proportions.
