Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Email gaffes at work have seen one in 20 people reprimanded or even fired, a survey revealed today.
One in five admitted sending an inappropriate email in the heat of the moment, while one in three (31%) said they have hit "reply all" instead of "reply" by mistake.
More than one in 10 (13%) have mistakenly sent an email insulting a colleague to the person they are insulting.
Men were more likely to make a mistake, with 28% having made an email faux pas, compared to 17% of women.
Almost half (44%) said they do not send letters any more.
And it seems people sometimes choose not to pick up a phone or meet somebody face to face either - one in five admits dumping a partner by text and one in 10 has ended a relationship by email.
:: The survey of 2,000 people was commissioned to mark the DVD and Blu-ray release of Going Postal, the television adaptation of Terry Pratchett's novel, on August 23.
