My work email account has a 2 minute delay before sending any email. I’m not taking chances
Comment on Writing tip: just start brain dumping

Because I’ve seen this sort of thing happen several times in various contexts, I’ve long said that you should never write something you don’t want to send. Not even as a joke that you plan to immediately delete. It’s amazing how your brain will unexpectedly hit “send” instead of “delete.”

Unplug the computer, set it on fire, and never come back.

You should be able to go into your sent folder. Click open the email in a new window (not auto-preview). Then File > message recall. It might be different depending on what you’re using, but most of the time you look around the sent folder.

I just wanted to say your avatar just sent me back a quarter century; I was not expecting that XD

For projects like this (longish and a product of several sessions) including levity for the sake of your own motivation is fine.
What isn’t fine is missing proofreading steps before sending.

Imagine proofreading after a 4am caffeine fuels writing extravaganza

I write everything (that might be important) in notepad first, then adjust and send, so I don’t slip any "motherfucker"s or "dumbass"es in there

My takeaway is different. It’s bad that teachers force repression of honest, raw expression by punishing stuff like this.
That was funny. That was a well written intro in any context where bumsticks are optional.

I’ve never had this experience. Almost all of my professors and most of teachers would have seen this, chuckled, accepted my apology, and then requested a better intro due the next day.
Most of my professors explicitly recognized that we would finish things last minute, cram the night before, be sleep deprived, or otherwise not be great with our schedule. And they did not discourage us with that information but rather tried to aid or alleviate it. I had professors say “I scheduled this exam to be due at 5:30pm on a Friday so that you can enjoy your weekend and not worry about completing this at midnight at a party.”
I think many teachers are much cooler than their students realize, they’re just people and while they have expectations, most teachers won’t spit in your face when you’re expressing yourself genuinely or trying in earnest.

Enh. Depends on the program. I have a diploma in TV production.
First step is knowing who’s marking it and knowing how fucking bored they’re going to be reading 100 of these.
I threw a couple jokes in my final essay and got 100% :)

No good teacher at the college level would punish this. They might get dinged for profanity at the high school or lower levels, but it’s still a great intro.
