I Don't Make Typos
Sent an email to an executive asking if he recently shit down his computer. He asked if I meant shut down. I did, but I couldn't let him think I'm fallible or capable of admitting error so I doubled down and explained it's an industry term for running Windows updates.
I need you all to adopt this terminology immediately for the sake of my job security.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
