How do you spell office etiquette?

Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 28 November, 2008 to the comment subset

Ten tips that may (or may not) help make working in an office a more rewarding and fulfilling experience (if that is at all possible ;).

Don’t ask co-workers how to spell. Microsoft Word has a spell checker. Use it. Don’t bother your co-workers with such questions. It hampers their productivity and lowers their opinion of you. Some probably won’t even want to answer, because doing so makes them feel stupid. When I get such questions, my response is, “Wait a minute while I check the dictionary” or “Wait while I use the Word dictionary.”

What can I say? Isn’t it always the small, petty, matters that tend to create the most animosity and ill will?
