What?
So I got this e-mail:
Can we set up a second [insert misspelled company name here] account and load it to another pc using Microsoft office instead of just using the
Web? The system is XP and the ver of Office is 2003.
There are so many things wrong for such a short mail.

There are so many things wrong for such a short mail.
- First and foremost, what the hell do they actually mean? I have no clue (presumably because they don't).
- How does one add an internet account using the web? Note: even in the ridiculously rare case that you have one account and want to set up another, our company won't allow you to do that over the web.
- I can write off the misspelled company name to a typo, but what's with the two carriage returns mid-sentence?
- Do the versions of Windows and Office really matter for this question? I suppose they might, since I have no idea what they're asking, but it may well just be that they add that information to everything they ever discuss about computers.
- Lastly, though this could well not be a problem, the person's e-mail address was with a telco that doesn't provide service in Canada. Knowing my luck, though, they probably will be addressing the wrong company despite naming us (well, almost naming us).

It sounds like they're asking if they can setup a second e-mail account, to be used with Outlook 2003 instead of webmail.
It sounds like they don't know how to convey their message well. Therefore, they're stupid. Terry's right.
