Error'd: Well Done

The title of this week's column is making me hungry.

To start off our WTFreitag,
Reinier B.
complains
"I did not specify my gender since it's completely irrelevant when ordering a skateboard for my
daughter. That does not mean it is correct to address me
as Dear Not specified." I wonder (sincerely) if there is a common German-language
personal letter greeting for "Dear somebody of unknown gender". I don't think there is one
for English. "To Whom It May Concern" is probably the best we can do.

 

"A coworker shared this phishing email he got," reported
Adam R.

"Even the scammers have trouble with their email templating variable names too."
(It's there at the end).

Mathematically-minded
Marcel V.
thinks these numbers don't figure.
"The update process of my Overwatch game left me wondering. I am quite certain my computer does not have 18 Exabytes of harddisk space to reclaim. However, if bytes were meant, then how is it trying to reclaim the last .65 bytes??"

Big Spender

"If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

Finishing up for the week,
Bruce R.
signs off with
"This dialog from CNN seems a little overdone."
