Typing Pool

Typo.

The head saleswoman at my office can't type. Apart from putting unnecessary ... ellipses ... and -- dashes ------- in the middle of every --- ... fucking ... --- sentence, she also ends every sentence with a string of exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!She also doesn't put spaces between sentences or words when separated by things like commas,colons:and semi-colons;.

She speaks in odd fragments and generally does anything and everything in her power to drive me up the fucking wall. Sometimes, though, when typos do occur (and it's tough to tell sometimes because her spelling is abysmal) they are pretty funny.

Above, we have some copy that she submitted to me today to be produced. The full statement at the start of the commercial is supposed to be:

"This time of year means it's time to seal and caulk your driveway before the start of fall rain and winter temperatures."

What was written, as you can see, was:

"This time of year means it's time to seal anus caulk!!!!!!!! Your driveway before the start of fall rain and winter temperatures."

I'm confused as to whether I should seal my anus caulk or procure caulk that is somehow made from seal anuses (annui?).

That is all.
