Re: Eclair Cameras: hd-144-installation-RESPONSE from original poster
I am a magazine publisher. I send between 100 and 300 emails a day. I use
spell check on each one, as a courtesy to others, and to show I am an
educated person. People that are too lazy to use proper English are usually
too lazy to do the due diligence on other parts of their lives as well.
I work about 17 hours a day, and still take the time for spell checking. I
suggest you use it, or others will come to the same conclusion I have. I
just happened to take the time to point it out. What you do is up to you,
but you DO lose creditability with me, and others I am sure, by not doing
so.
It is a bit like having bad breath, and no one will tell you, so you never
know HOW many people you offend.
Take it for what it is worth, using proper English is the quickest way to
make a good impression. You give a bad impression, over 100 times a day!
This spell check took less than seven seconds!

hello,
i use a browser based email that does have spell check, but i have never
used it ... dont have the time, and do not use spell check, nor have i ever
used it for my emails. i try to type as best as i can, but my keys on this
keyboard get stuck(all the dust and debris from the construction that
currently surrounds me), and cnsidering i usually send out about 100 emails
per day, going back and reading what i have written is simply not practical
for me. i will assure you of one thing however, i am NOT concerned about
those people that would bother to judge me for the words i have typed(or
mistyped in this case), relating them with my 'credibility,' as that only
lends to show me what they are stuck on in their own lives. but i do
understand the frustration associated with not being able to make out words
or sentences as a result of typos, and for that i am sorry. if you do not
understnad somethign i have written, and tell me, i will certainly clarify
them accordingly. when it matters
, and do so on my own accord, without a spellcheck, as i will go over what
i have written and make certian it is what i mean to say, seeing as how i am
actually taking the time to correct it. however, in such back and forth
email/chat dialogs such as this, i just cant bring myself to 'wasting' what
little time i have on this earth to check the small things :) sorry.
eric
