How do you spell office etiquette?

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?
