Imperfect Prose

I once wrote an email to a the MD of a consulting firm that works closely with the government in Malaysia, asking for career advice. Not because I thought he would say anything useful, but because I wanted to know exactly how he would respond. He did reply the email, with trite advice, and it was full of typos. I did use it to rationalise slacking off on writing perfect prose ever-thereafter. I don't know. People are weird.
