i thought you were soccar myles.

[Brainswitch]

Huh, I didn't know stneil made web templates too.

[Socar MYLES]

I just opened my mailbox to find the following e-mail--no kidding. All the typos and grammatical slip-ups are his:


I took a look at your website, if you need a profesionnaly done website than reply to me. I create webtemplates and could customize one for you, for like $100. Your site would look much more profesionnal than
what you have now. A full website creation costs like $1000 bucks. But I sell my customized templates for $100. Please contact me for more details. My ICQ:93054406.

My reply:

--The fact that you've got spelling errors and phrases such as 'costs like $1000 bucks' in a supposedly 'professional' e-mail leaves me with serious doubts as to your abilities. I think if you want to drum up business
for yourself by sending SPAM, you should at least word it better, and run a quick spellcheck before you hit Send. Things like this just make you look like a high school kid out looking to make a bit of money. I
can't help but thinking to myself: 'If this fellow makes all these mistakes in a two-line e-mail, how many errors are there going to be in a 200-page site?'

Nope. I like my site, thanks...and no thanks.

--Socar Myles

Yeeeah. Sure. I want to hire THAT guy to do MY website! After all, he only made a FEW typos--and what difference will it really make if he links to idnex.html instead of index.html and writes me up as Soccer Myles?

sounds like a young little bastard..... a think your web-site is pretty neat, except the pop-up windows....

(sorry my english.... norwegian education is my excuse)

[Lunatique]

Ouch. ... Low blow, Brainswitch.

[Radiater]

Funny yet sad. This kind of internet english is becoming far too common. Despite all the spell checkers and grammar checkers, many are too lazy or don't have a good enough command of english to use them properly.

For a long time, there were many worries about how calculators would make people useless at math. I believe this has happened. Now, with computers, one worries about the language skills of our computer generation.

I hate to sound too old in a Socar thread - especially since we all know Socar doesn't like feeling her age (26 is it?), but that's my rant on the same topic.

Later,

Radiater. (ps. that's the correct spelling )

You can always tell a genuine-100%-hardcore-professional businessman from the ICQ number they use.

[Chris]

icq numbers in general are un professional, if he was serious he would have a contact phone number for you to call.
