when you receive messages from people that are written poorly. For example, bad grammar, spelling, ebonics, or computerese (ie: u instead of you, bck/back, wlcme/welcome, cum/come, etc). What about subject/verb agreement? Would it make you more/less likely to return the message?
Don't be shy, chime in! |

I generally reply back 'Sorry, I am not interested. Good luck with your search.' when I get messages like that.

I will normally reply to everyone who writes to me at least once. But, if the email is full of one letter/abbreviated words and numbers, it probably isn't going to last long unless they're extremely interesting.

It's bad enough that I have to suffer through so much of it right here on the forums, I sure as hell don't have to put up with it in my own private mailbox.

What is the nature of the grammatical infraction? We're not talking infraction here...I'm talking "gross negligence" in forming a somewhat coherent sentence. I mean, a typo or two is understandable, but when it looks like something Ghostrider2u wrote, it's time to call foul. |

However, if the message in question is just plain unreadable, then I will send it back with "please rewrite" for a reply. |

Chime
I reply to most people, unless what they wrote absolutely no sense, then it's not worth a reply. |

However, if the message in question is just plain unreadable, then I will send it back with "please rewrite" for a reply. That's what I'm talking about. Everytime I see something like that, be it in forums or email, I just think of that line from Billy Madison... "Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." |

If the message is really bad, it makes me wonder about the sender. |

For the most part, however it's spelled, I'll reply & be polite even if it's just to say, "Thanks, but I'm not interested. Good luck to you."
Once in a while, though, there'll be a message that looks like they had a seizure while typing. (probably text speak or abbreviations? I don't know) Those I'll just delete. (shrug) |

But ebonics, text messaging shorthand, and L33T all annoy me. |

We ARE in an online mode here. |

I won't even use those shortcuts when sending a text message over my phone. I will sometimes get lazy over yahoo and not capitalize and will use "i" instead of "I".
