Hi there

I found a funny message in my spam filter today. It started,

"Hi, there. It's been a long time since we did not talk. "

I didn't read the rest (it would have meant clicking and why bother with that?) but that struck me as funny. This style of writing opens worlds of possibilities for communication, don't you think?

"Hi, there. It's been a long time since we didn't go out for lunch together."

"Hi, there. It's been a long time since the sprinkler system didn't explode on you."

"Hi, there. It's been a long time since I didn't abscond with the Sunday School offering."

"Hi, there. It's been a long time since we didn't fight a duel on the pier."

"Hi, there. It's been a long time since aliens didn't abduct us."


I think it's been a long time since that writer didn't learn English grammar. Then again, maybe not.
