    Thank you Daniel for saying what I have been afraid to say!  I have
    so much trouble understanding some postings due to spelling errors
    and/or lack of punctuation and/or lack of capitalization and/or
    grammatical errors that I just skip them.  The occasional
    misspelling is understandable, but when a posting is so badly
    garbled by errors that I can hardly understand what the person is
    trying to communicate, I am left the impression they just don't care
    about who they are sending it to.  I would not expect that kind of
    lack of attention to detail from people who make jewelry.  It makes
    me wonder if their non-caring attitude extends to their work as
    well. 

    As Daniel says, this is in no way directed at those whose native
    language is not English.  Most of the worst offenders are clearly
    American.  This appears to be a problem in the corporate world as
    well.  In my last job the kind of writing I received from people at
    all levels of the company was horrendous.  One company director
    apparently was just too lazy to ever use the shift key to produce
    caps at the appropriate places.  I always cringed when I say such
    communications being sent to customers. 

    Show that you care (at least about how you look).  Proofread! 

Dale
