I'm in law school. You'd think this would mean that the correspondence we receive through the law school would be of a respectable grammatical quality, right?
Nay, nay. For I received this gem this morning whilst I was browsing in class:
Do You Still Need to Purchase a Textbook?
In preparation for next term, we will begin returning unsold textbooks
The Tufts Health Sciences campus Bookstore will start to return unsold New England School of Law textbooks on Thursday October 8, 2009
We know there may be titles not assigned until later in the term or you were holding off on purchasing a recommended title.
Please stop by The Tufts Health Sciences Bookstore or log onto whywaitforooks.com to purchase your textbooks by October 8,2009.
If you have any questions please contact the bookstore team?
Contact your store manager, Nicole Dube at 617-636-**** (To protect the innocent. And believe me, they need it!)
There are at least 3 errors in there.
I don't know why I would want to wait "fo rooks." I don't even know what "rooks" are. Chess?
Then a spacing issue, easy to miss, but I'm not giving them any slack today.
Then..... then... Are they really that confused about whether we should contact the bookstore team if we need help? Do they doubt their qualifications or ability to help us? Does this bookstore team actually exist? What if we choose the wrong answer? We could sit here all day deciding whether we are or are not supposed to actually contact the bookstore team.
May God have mercy on your souls, the "bookstore team?" of Tufts Health Sciences camupus Bookstore, may God have mercy on your grammatical souls.

This is so horrible. Also, you forgot the "campus Bookstore." Either both or neither of these words should be capitalized... but, when it doubt, capitalize just one! You've got a 50/50 chance that way, right? .... Right?
