CHECK YOU EMAIL

A recommendation to check your email.

The typographical error, "YOU" instead of "YOUR," comes from a well-known email that Bill Urquhart, a name partner of the law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, sent to the employees of his firm. The subject line of his email read: "CHECK YOU EMAILS OFTEN."

We're going to be busy this weekend preparing for trial, so be sure to CHECK YOU EMAIL.

checking email

A slang term for having excessive screen time on handheld devices (iPad, smartphone), like the one done by these so-called "iPad kids"

Every time I see my cousin glued to her phone, I can't help but think she's just "checking email" again—part of these "iPad kids" generation that can't put their devices down!
