re: #100 klys
Ok, this may be petty but I cannot take any arguments seriously from someone who cannot be bothered to follow conventional forms of punctuation. This includes no extraneous spaces before punctuation marks.
It screams “I can’t be bothered to communicate properly” and I refuse to accord any respect for it.
I concur. I have high standards when it comes to written and spoken communications. Maybe it’s just being well-educated and running with a generally intelligent crowd, but spelling, grammar, and punctuation make a strong first impression on me.
