Do typos bother you?

I don't mind one or two little typos, as these posts are often done quickly and it is more of a casual conversation. But Ms E;s example of those doing mixed caps turns me off quickly. Also, if they can't put an actual ph number in a BP ad, I won't take the time to figure it out.
I think it is very easy to proof read and doesn't take but a few seconds to do. No one is so busy that you can't read over what your just typed. Especially when you are placing an ad for your business. But maybe that is just me. I'm fairly old school.

Personally, it's like nails on a chalkboard. I like my providers to be a little educated and cultured (even if I am not!). I guess that's why the tried and true providers are a cut above the rest!

To me, what's funny is the broad who claims to be holding advanced degrees and then posts that, "I except gentleman who meet my screening". Wow!
JB,

Stop making fun of me. I changed it after you pointed out my error.

Simple typos don't bother me.I can figure them out. It's the ghetto slang that sets me off-Its an automatic no. Also the lame four -oh-two seventy seven -ninety eight eighty nine &&>> BS for the phone number. Like that can't be figured out. It's insulting. Originally Posted by no1hcm

It is quite irritating but I ascribe it to how many emails were listed on sites
name @ domain .com . This is down because many "crawlers" will work sites to find the @ and then work backwards and forwards to find a valid email address.

Could be I guess. But there are ladies who put up their numbers or provide a way to research it. With all the poor grammer and spelling, I equate that to laziness and have to wonder if their service is just as poor. We have many ladies who write so well.

Sorry quote button didnt work on the above quote!

Sdawg,

You can still call me for some punishment. I'm in a giving mood this weekend.
