Ignorance is no excuse for the profession

Letter JD mailed to the courthouse in Salem today, February 18:

Dear Clerk:

Enclosed is Document A and Document B. They are due to the judge February 18, 2011.

Sincerely,
JD

MY RESPONSE:

Dear Genious JD:

There are two problems with your letter that you failed to notice:

(1) Bad grammar: "is" should be "are" because there are two documents; and

(2) Bad timing: mailing something doesn't get it to its destination the same day. Therefore, you can't mail something the day it is due.

Sincerely,
Superlegal
