    Perhaps my understanding of how these are used is incorrect.

    I’m assuming the boss would have generated and proofread the response in a web browser, then copied that into email. Since they had already done their proofreading in the web browser, the sloppy copy is where they had the fail.
    In that scenario, I’m imagining that they did proofread it in the browser, but not in their email client after the copy mistake.

    Hm. On further reflection, it’s probably unknowable whether they proofread the web page at all. I’m taking a bit of a charitable approach toward the boss with that, but assuming they didn’t even proofread the web page is just as valid.

      Yeah exactly, I can’t say whether they looked over it before or just did a bad job copying, but there was still an opportunity to fix it after that.

      From my perspective, regardless of what goes into a work email, I’m giving it one last look over before I actually hit the send button
