    Let's start with the "haven't been in school for 4 years" one (corrections first, ya missed the apostrophe in haven't and when you write a sentence containing a number LESS than ten (10) it's best to SPELL it out "four" not "4"). I haven't been in school for 21 years and not only did I learn the difference between there, they're & their and you're and your, skills and knowledge like that don't just go away after a couple of years. So under your logic if a person takes Driver's Ed when they are 16, it's okay if they "forget" the rules of the road by the time they're 20, right?

    When I went to school, I majored in Engineering. I only had to take ONE semester of English to complete the requirements for my degree. That is the least amount of semester hours of English required for any degree. Therefore just about EVERYONE else out there who has a college degree took MORE English courses that I ever did. English certainly is not my "strong subject" either but anyone in this country who has completed at least the eighth grade should be able to spell and use good grammar and was certainly taught the simple differences between:
    they're, their & there
    you're & your
    too & too

    Okay, let's go with your position that you "don't care" well fine, you "don't care" BUT how you express yourself in an on-line forum is a little different from the real world. For instance, physical appearance, personal hygiene, some personal quirks mean nothing here but how you express yourself in writing is almost everything here. I hope you don't take the "I don't care" attitude when you complete a job application in such a lackadaisical fashion because if you do, I wouldn't count on landing that job. Ah okay, you've already got a job so you "don't care" okay well now things are getting interesting. It looks to me like YOU ARE SELLING SOMETHING.

    Now if I were selling something, I would want to make the BEST impression I can to a potential customer. Now maybe in the real world, you can "wow" me with your wit and charm and possibly your good looks but here, the only way for you to communicate with me is with your written word and let me tell you, I'm NOT IMPRESSED with someone who cannot spell, use proper grammar, doesn't not know how to use the correct words when expressing himself in writing and not only that, cops an attitude with me on his second posts here.

    You also say that well don't think your errors didn't go unnoticed. Most people won't take the time to correct you but I can guarantee you some are immediately turned off by your obvious "I don't care" attitude.

    Tell me, how does your "I don't care" attitude instill any sort of confidence a potential customer may need to feel from you particularly from a customer service standpoint? When a customer shells out big money for one of your units, they MUST feel confident that the person they bought it from will TAKE CARE OF ANY PROBLEMS that may arise in the future. Of course a guy like you with his "I don't give a shit" attitude is not going to be on the top of the list for units sold, that's a guarantee there Albert.

    So, you can continue to think I'm some kind of pain in the ass who is just trying to show how smart he is (which of course Scroto will tell you that's what I'm all about but he's a dork ) or you can think about what I've told you, drop the shitty "I don't care" attitude, clean up your act, use proper grammar and spelling when you post and I can guarantee you that you will sell more of your products.

    By the way, the first time in your post, you spelled "grammar" correctly, the second time you did not


    should we put up a poll to find out who pays attention to writing skills? or how about spelling? I spend too much time demonstrating that I have a business mindset in the "REAL WORLD" I dont feel like doing it online thats just my choice and I see that your a perfectionist. I am not sorry I dont enough of that in REAL LIFE. I am just trying to help people where I can. Sue me for trying to help with my improper grammar skills.

    Okay, first off WTF do you mean with that last sentence (the one I have in bold )? Honestly Albert, it makes no sense at all. You're going from bad to worse here......

    Your suggestion about conducting some kind of poll is irrelevant to the matter at hand. If you lose ONE sale due to your poor writing skills you should be concerned even if a majority of people don't pay any attention to your poor writing skills. You should strive to be the best you can be but never mind, you told us all you "don't care."

    This is just my personal observation but it seems to me that most of the under 30 generation these days (and I'm not throwing ALL of you under 30 guys here in the same group here so please don't get mad at me ) may not "care" about writing skills but there are many, many people in the "real world" who are older than you Albert who do and if you continue to insist that you "don't care" then you will never reach your full potential selling any kind of product. Your attitude exudes laziness, a poor work ethic and someone who in your own words "doesn't care."

    Instead of heeding my advice, you'd rather argue with me and get all defensive like a thin skinned baby. I'm not a "perfectionist" Albert but you are far from impressive as a salesman that's for sure.

    The sad thing here in your case is that I actually was interested in your product but since you have made it clear that you're an absolute lazy ass who "doesn't care" I'd never buy anything from you.

    Good salesman work there Albert I wonder how many other potential customers you lost here with your lousy attitude and general sloppiness?

    LOL, and yes I agree CC. If he loses just one sale from his lack of care about making himself sound professional, then that would make any person with a "business mindset" to do what he can to fix his inefficient business model. What a .

    Once again, your poor written communications skills have me scratching my head trying to figure out just exactly what it is you're trying to say. For instance, what in the HELL are you trying to get across in the sentence in the above post that I put in bold? Albert, it makes absolutely NO SENSE at all.

    Oh and the "I did not start this......" start WHAT Albert? Call me crazy but if you want to play six year old and try to figure out who "started it" then I would offer that YOU "started it" and continued "it" when you made posts using words improperly. Secondly, I think you left out some punctuation because once again, this alleged sentence is improper and doesn't make any sense. Now I'm starting to feel bad because I think ole Albert here may be suffer from one or more learning disabilities. If you are learning disabled Albert, I AM NOT making fun of you but if you are indeed learning disabled, you should not lash out at those of us who are not wrong when your poor writing skills are brought to light.

    I'm not being an "ass" Albert by pointing out your improper use of words. On the contrary, you should view it as constructive criticism, learn from it and not make those same mistakes when you go to other forums trying to sell your products. But no, you have to start shooting your mouth off and tossing insults.

    Once again, your "business mindset" needs some serious work there Albert since you have demonstrated to us on many occasions here that you have a very serious problem when it comes to expressing yourself in writing.

    It's funny - because when I read this paragraph it pained me. But one sentence stuck out - "Having a business mindset." I truly don't know what you were trying to say there, but I interpret it to mean that he would A) like you to buy his product and B) become an agent of the same company as you... In other words - it is a multi-level marketing arrangement.

    Albert - thanks but no thanks. That one sentence completely turned me off. I've seen multi-level marketing, and I'm not a fan. Maybe your product is great, but if you are trying to lure me into an arrangement where you are going to sell me MORE than the unit, I'm VERY suspicious.

    What CC says should be taken to heart. If you want to effectively communicate to potential customers with a "business mindset", you need to write with your readers in mind. If you can't communicate the written word, you best not come into a forum and try to sell your products. You totally lose all credibility.
