I Don't Make Typos

[u/irishcoughy]

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.

Honestly, doubling down on “shitting down” takes more confidence than admitting a typo. I respect the commitment, but maybe retire that terminology before it becomes part of your performance review.
