But the OP says
If I wanted to teach people grammar suggesting he is teaching the IT guy how to correctly use the English language.

Gonz your post is surprisingly well written, are you employing mexicans to write your posts?

No - he IS the IT guy.
Some tosser has sent him an email requesting he change his automated signature to something incorrect. He doesn't wish to have to correct him - he's an IT chappie, not a grammar teacher.

Christ on a bike, this really isn't that complicated, is it?

Oh, so the request made is actually wrong, and the origional was right?
In that case, I was wrong, he's not the fucking prick, the person who sent it was, and the rest of the rant still stands but the recipient of the rant has changed.

And if that was the case, the iriony of me (or anyone) misinterparting it is not lost on me.
As the prime objective of communication is to put across a message or point. For someone to misinterpret that message, then the objective has not being successfully completed, and as such, the message should be reworded or explained in order to complete the prime objective.
