Bill's point in rebuttal to your flame was that there was no
misspelling. Try
running a spell check of your own? Here's your snippet below for
reference.

Although I entirely agree with Paul's general point (make sure
professional/business e-mail are spell-checked, grammar-checked and
proofread), I believe the crux of his example revolves around the word
"contraindications". Although "contraindicate" is indeed a verb, I believe
the intended word here was "contradictions".
Dictionary sources state that "contraindicate" is primarily used as a
medical term to indicate when symptoms of a disease contradict the typical
or usual treatment. I've cross referenced this definition with
Dictionary.com, Merriam Webster, American Heritage and the Oxford English
dictionary (see links below).
Can we maybe put this one to bed now?
