  1. When I see a typo I always check my keyboard to see if it was a mistake or they’re thick, I’d let this one slide.

  2. You sure it’s not a scam? Check the return address before downloading anything. Spelling and grammar mistakes are a big red flag.

  3. In fairness, the system they use for chat is rather old and doesn’t have spellcheck for some reason.
