Hello,
In my reference letter for a Teaching Assistantship (TA) position in the university during my Master of Science (MS) degree education, provided by the course professor, there are a few grammatical errors (for example, incorrect capitalization, spacing etc.)

The details about the position and the responsibilities I had undertaken are all correct. The professor has physically signed the letter as well for authenticity.

These errors seem minute in magnitude. Will these grammatical errors negatively impact my profile during assessment?

Should I go back and let the professor about these errors? As all the conversation till now has happened through email, it is a bit cumbersome to communicate. And, I do not want to offend the professor in any way.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
 
"Will these grammatical errors negatively impact my profile during assessment?"
I am literally speechless, but I can still type. No. This will not negatively impact your application.

"Should I go back and let the professor about these errors?" (Hmm should I let you know about the error in this question??)
That would be a tasteless response to someone's effort to help you. IMHO.

I apologize if my question ticked you off. I have had experiences where such errors have created problems later and hence genuinely asked. There was no malice behind that.

I know it would have been tasteless and offensive, hence I posted it here to see if anyone had such a experience.
 
Apologies. One should never assume that others' experience are 'beyond belief'. I like to believe that the Canadian immigration system, whatever its many faults, is above that level of pettiness.
