From an email sent to Columbia's job-recruiting email list with the subject "JPMorgan Recruiting Event for LGBT Students":

At JPMorgan, diversity matters. And we are very much committed to souring and retaining the best and most talented LGBT candidates.

We should make clear we have nothing but the greatest fondness for sour gay finance types. (They're much more pleasant than the sunny, I'm-rich-and-happy ones.) But, still, we can't help but wonder what word Morgan was trying to write and typo'd. Maybe scouring gay candidates? (But why would you need to scour an already fastidious group?) Sorting the candidates? (Well, of course, but one never makes the rush process so explicit.) Scoring the candidates? Actually, "This is a valuable opportunity ... to meet and mingle with some senior managers at our firm." Scoring seems about right.

Complete email after the jump.
