Support Report Hey players, I had a few tricky exchanges this week and thought I would throw in a quick note about the value of spelling, grammar, and punctuation in messages Now I'm not going get on my high horse and pretend I am an almighty authority on correct language here - I've definitely had my share of typos, forgotten periods, and misplaced apostrophes, after all. However I do know that even some minor attention in this area can hugely impact how easy a message is to read and understand. Here are some quick tips that can help prevent confusion and reduce the back-and-forth required to resolve your ticket: -Split up your message into Sentences and paragraphs. -Use a spell check -Review your message before you send it. These helpful tips will improve the likelihood us understanding your issue the first time, which greatly increases resolution times. Everyone wins! -Aardvark Joke of the week! Joke of the week time! This week is more goodness from Bad Joke Owl. Enjoy! What do you call a bear with no teeth?A gummy bear! Highlight for hilarious Joke! Click here for the appropriate sound effect. Have a great weekend everyone, and happy Family Day to my fellow Western Canadians! Play Now!
