That's an educational priority shift that really makes sense. They need keyboarding skills more that practice with the Palmer Method.

Big difference between pointing out failure in performance and personal attack.

This isn't U6 soccer where everyone gets a participation award. This fellow wants to collect thousands of dollars for this vehicle, yet can't be bothered to write a sentence. Instead, he expects prospective buyers to try and divine meaning from the word salad offered. Critical comments were deserved.

The effort you make at self presentation is typically what most corporations, and friends and family use as a base upon first impressions.

I'd say their lack of honorable or educated punctuation and grammar is plenty to make a first impression.




You are trying to sell not just your goods, but yourself; that is how a successful sale goes in the business world. Impressions matter.

When I deliver an estimate or bid or proposal or whatever I always make sure everything is spelled right and looks neat. It does make a big difference. Could be that fellas' comma and period buttons don't work too. I doubt it though. Knew some kids that graduated with me that could barely read. It's a shame sometimes.

I don't mind the bad spelling, punctuation or grammar . . . but the Chevy sign.

Few things that I find wrong with this only a rolling, missing part and some not installed... and the guy wants more than $6,600! He is nuts!


I've have dyslexia myself. So at times I have my daughter check my spelling and punctuation, when it's something important. I blame a lot of the problem to our education system that push kids on to the next grade without being able to do the previous grades work. I've carried a dictionary in the field when I had to write my reports in the field.
