I'm tempted to name this thread after our most serious offender.
Repent, or else...

Judah Kanowitz might not be the only one with a dedicated thread.

Honestly, at this point, it seems he's capable, so the fact that he jsutt tyypes lik thiis is sheer laziness.

Can it be possible he does not have a firm grasp of the langue? Just think how it would look if I started to post in Hebrew.

I just received a wonderfully apropos email: an article in the Harvard Business Review regarding grammar.

Quote
Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn't make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the internet. In blog posts, on Facebook statuses, in e-mails, and on company websites, your words are all you have. They are a projection of you in your physical absence. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you can't tell the difference between their, there, and they're.

Some on DDF would do well to take heed, especially those with an aversion to the shift key, a distaste for any and all commas, and a finicky caps lock.

100% accurate.

I may not know what 99% of DDF'ers look like but I create images based on their grammar and tone.  And usually those images are fairly accurate though I've been wrong with some folks...but that's the fun of a DO :)
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I think I came up with a masterpiece!! My wife got  last week a sapphire in a Chase Bank, did a 2bm right after that for a united and a BA called recon. For her, they didn't chap that the name on the app. Was a lady, and im a man.... got a nice rep. That shift over 2k dollars from the 7k dollar credit line from the sapphire, called in again for the BA here the rep. Told me that they can't verify the info and I have to fax some documents, well got a chance 2 days later called them in to get their fax number, but now they are telling me that the app. Was denied beacouse the couldn't verify my info ...arguing didn't help...   now here is my beauty!! Im gonna have my wife calling in that shee just applied for 2 new cards a sapphire and united.. but shee is suspecting fraud beacouse shee is seing another app on her name for a BA card.... well its gonna make sence for the fraud dep.  Beacouse thats the reason why it got denied, my wife will ask them to remove the hard pull, and once the hard pull will be taken away shee will have NO inquiries from chase from the other app. Since shee got just 1 pull in the first time!!!!   What do u guys think will it work? Should I do it?

If you don't also point him to this thread, it's effectively meaningless.
