Wallstreetbets has ruined even the regular best regards, and I only use regards now as a subtle insult in professional email signatures now.

Friendly reminder that 'nugget' is only two minor typos from being quite offensive.
"Solid gold [REMOVED]"
please tell me you actually typed the word REMOVED and lemmy didn't have to do it for you
Yep, happened to me. But instead of "best regards", i usually end with simple "regards" which may have made it worse. I immediately followed up with an email profusely apologizing.
I finished an email with "Breast regards" once. I'm very glad someone pointed that out :D
I once sent an email to the President of Engineering to justify tuition reimbursement.
I told him that my ASS (should have been AAS) has been extremely beneficial to both the company and myself and I would like to take the next step and get my BSME.
He never responded.
That other acronym had a lot of potential either
Every furry who likes Scar from The Lion King making damn sure they press R and not T.
Rerards?
I actually read that 2 or 3 times wondering why T and G were circled, wondering what was the issue here….then I finally noticed… maybe whomever the email was sent never even noticed!
I got an advanced certificate from the City University of New York (CUNY). I had to write several work emails and fill out several forms to get my workplace to pay for it. The letter Y is next to the letter T on the keyboard. I think you can see where this is going.
Maybe you type that word too much. Bad habit
Always write correspondence into either notepad or an email body without a filled in address.
"Bigger things are coming."
Why don't you have that part in your signature tho
Because it's not part of my signature?
It doesn't mean much but I actually have had people notice that I manually type mine because I use different ones with different people / depending on the situation, so it feels like I actually mean them
I leave that part blank. Some people don't deserve the best regards.
Have some regards, dog

Best retards will Not be for sale every day.
I used to sweat trying to explain nitter to people (RIP).
When I worked at a lab there was a student with the last name Jark. Autocorrect felt it should be jerk. Luckily it effected everyone so he took it in stride.

I just started using iffected , then you never need to worry if you used the wrong one
Floog floog floog floog
I do appreciate comments like these, which is unfortunate; I would have enjoyed replying to this with "Jark!"
Probably should have slowed down.
For important emails I always draft the message before adding the recipient's email address. Then, I review it before finally adding in the email and hitting send.
And then you notice the typo, and feel even dumber.
Which is why I use that Gmail feature where you can undo send
