Do you know what is a huge turn-on? The use of correct grammar is probably the sexiest thing a person can bring to the table in a message. I understand that the English language is a complicated and difficult one. However, if you're from the United States originally, then I'll be way more likely to respond if your message uses correct grammar. I'm a college professor. I deal with poor grammar every day, and the last thing I want when I sign on here is the overwhelming urge to correct the messages I receive.
Typos and the occasional mistakes are totally fine. I mess up all the time, too. It's more when there's no subject to any of the sentences, or there clearly hasn't been any kind of thought given to the syntax of the message.
Is anyone else with me on this? I know I can be kind of pretentious when it comes to this, but there have to be other people on this site that agree. Maybe? Hopefully? |
