How much does quality writing matter?

The difference is how it's served and presented. Mostly I think in an ad where there is a lot of misspelling or poor english that it is just bad advertising and shows a lack of thought and concern for the product and if they don't care about the product then why should I. The upside is there's plenty of something out there for everybody.

I know it comes into play when deciding what emails I'll respond to and who I'll spend time with. One line emails or abbreviated "text talk" are a turn off.

My spelling and such aren't always perfect, but I put forth genuine effort when writing for my website and ads.

Great topic I've really enjoyed reading the responses.

I always write well because, quite frankly, I am a grammar / English nerd and I can't quite bring myself to write poorly. Additionally, I appreciate when someone recognizes and is appreciative of the way in which I write.

I only see a hand full of men, and all of them are people with whom I click. My friends view me as more of a professional girlfriend (their words, not mine) than anything else. And I find that I have a great deal in common with men who appreciate a well spoken and well educated woman.

When it comes to reading e-mails from potential friends, I don't choose to pursue poorly worded, error infused messages.

Having said all of this, I am BY NO MEANS a perfect person. Trust me! Nor do I expect others to be perfect.

I just don't find a lack of written effort to be appealing.

Touche' Oden. But hey, whatever it takes...I'll put the loin cloth on.

Put a suit on and we're in business!

Suit = sexy

Loin Cloth = soooo tacky

I don't use text (the option isn't even on my phone), I prefer an email or phone call.
