Ok, I'll bite. I taught English at the high school level for 18 years before my husband retired from the military, and I decided to work part-time in the optical field.
Question: Why do I get frustrated with posts such as the following, that have absolutely no regard for capitalization, sentence structure, or punctuation? The ad mentions "professional" over and over, but there is nothing even slightly professional about the post.
Am I crazy to notice such things? Is it just me?

imatters...ophthalmic staffing by ophthalmic professionals
OK, I gave up on making the corrections. I would give them an "F", have them re-do it, and find the rest of the errors that I didn't bother to correct. I would then give them the opportunity for extra credit by cleaning out the gutters on my house.

I am well acquainted with the folks at imatters and they are really great people who provide a great service. I wonder if the way to help them find quailified staff is to beat them up over typos.
The title of this thread is destined to dissuade people from posting, let alone the general snarky-ness that has driven most of our best members to other forums.
I think it's time for everyone to go outside and play in the sun.

It's nice you know them, but what are we to think of a solicitation for professionals that may as well have been scratched out on the back of a cocktail napkin? Nice people or not, what are we to think?Ophthalmic Optician, Society to Advance Opticianry

And to be fair, it wasn't just a typo, but a series of typos, fragmented sentences, and misspelled words in a post that sought to attract the "professionals" of our business.
