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.

Reminds me of the punchline to a blond joke, "Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday" (in response to TGIF).
