How much does quality writing matter?

Have to throw in my $.02 here. I am fortunate to have a BS in Engineering and I have written many reports. Yet I mostly speak the "redneckese" I learned at a young age. I have noted that my lack of correct "english" in conversations has not been well received by a couple of providers. But that is not a problem for me. I think I actually like the idea of maintaining the ways of my youth in the vocabulary department. No offense to anyone - but the providers that try to be grammatically correct but cannot do it are a bit amusing.

quite frankly, I am a grammar / English nerd Originally Posted by MorganAmanda

Any of you ever heard the phrase, "You can't judge a book by it's cover''?

Well If your not going to read it, don't let what's inside spoil the cover!

The only thing that kind of irks me is when text speak is used in an email. WUT R U DOING TONITE? And wtf is up with "tonite" that's not even a real word, to me at least.

Yeah yeah yeah, I saw that, too. I highly doubt it is used with such frequency in that context.

"Fuck yeah man, TONITE is going to be explosive, yo!" ha ha, that was punny!

How often do you find yourself thinking, "She's smoking hot, but if she can't put a sentence together I'd prefer someone else, particularly if we are spending a couple of hours together...."

The impetus for this thread was seeing some ads on another site (& not BP/CL either) where the spelling and grammar was poor and SOMEONE LEFT CAPS LOCK ON or worse aLtErNaTiOn BeTWeEn CaPs AnD nO CaPs. The ladies placing these ads are paying good money for them. Is it carelessness or not knowing (ignorance) that this is not effective? Originally Posted by atlcomedy

I immediately judge (rightly or wrongly) that the poster is a "barracuda" who is screaming for my attention or interest to separate me from my cash as quickly as possible in return for as little as possible; I make it a point NOT to contact the poster.

As for misspellings, etc., I realize that we're all from a variety of backgrounds and education levels -- much of which was beyond our personal control --, so I make allowances.

On the other hand, an ad posted in impeccable spelling, grammar, syntax, and style is, to me, a definite attention-getter -- and in a good way. I judge (again rightly or wrongly) that the poster is a lady of class, education, and intelligence -- someone with whom I'd enjoy spending many hours.
