Conformation...
Paula and I received "conformation" emails for a class we signed up for at work. While I'm not saying that I never make a typo, this was in the email not once, but twice, leading one to believe that it was not an typo but a full blown screw up.
This prompted a conversation contemplating whether we really wanted to receive a conformation. I know that I have made a concerted effort to be independent and unique. Receiving a conformation somehow dimishes this effort.
Was this word usage a symbolic slip of some kind? Everyone is taking this class...conform. Makes me want to say, "the hell with it."

LOL....that's one of those words that when you misspell it, the spell check doesn't pick it up b/c it's a real words. I bet they'd feel really ignorant if it was brought to their attention.
