Fun Facts
Trivia

Remarks
- "I she be" is most likely a typo of "I should be" or "I shall be."
- At the top of the IM window, it says "instant messenge." "Messenge" is not a word, though it may be a play on the word "messenger."
- There is dispute on Strong Mad's height. This email says 6 feet while the facts says 88 inches (7'4").
- Though it is possible that Strong Mad could have grown since then.
- When first responding to the email, he says, "all i gotta say..." The I is not capitalized, contrary to Strong Bad's ruthless attention to mechanics. He also uses an incomplete sentence: "From ladies with proper grammar".
Goofs
- Strong Bad types "All i gotta say about this is..." instead of "All I gotta say about this is...".
