I cannot stand it when a company/person makes a website trying to sell something, but cannot use proper grammar or spelling...It is just pathetic. In the real world, this would not fly.

I just think it is sad that people want to make money online, but cannot even take the time to learn how to use grammar. And people still buy from these sites too...When I see things like this, it seems to me like the site is one or all of these: unprofessional, a scam, crap quality, and untrustworthy...

I do not know about you, but I try to look professional when making a website...I am not talking about forums, as these are more laid-back and informal, but in the business world, first-grade mistakes are simply unacceptable.

Most of these are fakes and just want to get paid for not having a good time at school.
 
I completely agree. One of my gamer friends is attempting to recruit people for his gaming project. He knows nothing of programming, building a website, nor advertising, but he is confident he will make a million dollars. Anyway, he managed to get a piss-poor website up and the grammar and spelling is just horrible. I rarely check my grammar and spelling when replying on a forum; however, I am not trying to sell myself on a forum. This guy is trying to get people to invest in his project but looks like an ignorant redneck from the swamplands of Louisiana.
