when buying a snake why does your email need to contain ebonics? Seriously??
So I have a male spider I was looking to sell. So I thought meh ill throw it on craigslist because in Columbus we have quite a few small time breeders who use it to sell their offspring.
So i get this email
JClark to me

Yas. Is that a male. Ans r you gonna come to my crib
Seriously if your emailing someone looking to buy ANYTHING why the need for slang?
Does it bother you when you get emails or things like this?

I would think people who are trying to purchase a animal would use some proper grammar! But, who know!!!! LOL! I use the slang while Textin!!!
Yea but your texting someone you know.
I expect people to email me and talk right. I dont need to sit and decipher their damn email to see what they said. I mean if their English isnt the greatest and they have trouble spelling words thats one thing. But spelling yes yas?
And am i gonna come to his crib? Sure ill drop the snake off at his "crib" for $25

Lol....I agree! PROFESSIONALISM! Hope I spelled that right! I'm not a grammar expert. But, I get amused with some of the things I read! My 14 year old daughter is the worse! When she text me sometimes I turn the phone upside down and sideways to see what it might spell.

That really bothers me. I'd hold on to a snake for an extra year before I sell it to someone who is too lazy to even attempt to write and speak properly.
Yo DAWG. I sure as hell know that you won't take care of my animals properly if you are incapable of taking 10 seconds to compose a semi-coherent sentence.

It's my hugest pet peeve ever. I hate people who even use slang in texts and messenger! Honestly, if you're going to speak or communicate in any way, shape or form, at least do it properly. ESPECIALLY if it's someone you don't know and someone from whom you plan to buy something. I mean, come on!

But I feel when it comes to a living animal, I have to make a judgment call sometimes.
another one that i don't respond to is people who send emails in all caps.
I WILL TAKE THE SNAKE!!! CALL ME AT *INSERT NUMBER*!!! I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH SNAKES SO I CAN GIVE A GOOD HOME!!!

I dont mind text and stuff to much. But when emailing me, I can only judge how stupid or smart you are from your email. You talk like your stupid, chances are your stupid. And me I dont sell to stupid people lol. This guy will most likely not get the snake haha
