Seriously? There is a large difference between grammar issues and writing complete paragraphs with no punctuation or capitalization. That is not lack of proof reading or lack of education, it is just lazy. To say that it is an acceptable form of communication is rubbish.
I was trying to put the for the not buying part, but I was serious in the presenting oneself professionally part.
As far as value, there were other member who rogered up in the thread that it was very difficult to read. To help the OP better get ANY question answered, I suggested they take a look at the formatting.
I am not the only one that made the point in this thread, and there was very obviously a lot of agreement with me. Feel free to forward me anything that you like, and if you feel the need to further call me out, take it to PM.

I'm usually "that guy" that's corrects people's spelling or grammar. But if I'm going to buy something from someone, I would like to see some form of professionalism. I wasn't knocking on him for it, I simply wanted to point it out so he could correct it and most likely be more successful as a seller.

Re: very dissapointed
I've read through this entire thread two times and still don't think I understand the lineup card. And yes, part of it is the fact that the OP is writing in the English language, just not a version of it that I recognize.

You can deal with it and try to contribute something of value pertaining to the subject at hand, or you can move on to the next thread. Not saying it's the case here, but not everyone has been afforded a solid education, or has the capacity to proofread their own writing. Not everyone is capable of wording everything so eloquently either.
If it's that bothersome to you, I'd be glad to point you to a couple very well known breeders that have crap grammar...maybe you'd be nice enough to send them an e-mail asking them to present themselves in a more professional manner as well.

This is a time when we do not write, or speak english, its all slurred up and weird, we speak and write american, and there is no punctuation.
Now if i was writing a term paper....
I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. If you appear to be sharp in your written communications, people will perceive you to be sharp. If you appear to be a helmet wearing, window licking idiot in your written communications, people will perceive you to be a freaking moron. And, you shouldn't feel slighted in the least bit when people treat you like a mental midget. After all, that must be the look you're going for in you are lazy enough to post like a three year old.
And I'm with Jinx. I don't do business with idiots, and if you present yourself as one on a web forum, and that's my only impression of you, then again, it shouldn't be a surprise when I don't buy from you.

Wow what I was trying to say is I'm NOT that guy! My mistake. Leave one word out and it comes out totally different.
Also I'm not trying to sell you anything. I still stand by what I said. Being well spoken/written sells.

It's not an "education" thing...it's being lazy and not giving a crap...

Also if your going to call me out on something that was obviously auto corrected. You should proof read what you write, because I had a hard time trying to make out what you were saying.

I suppose, but to be honest, if im shelling out money for anything, it's the product that sells itself, not the seller. If the snake is well taken care of, is what it sold as, and priced fair, than I could care less the about education, financial standing, or grammer the seller has to offer. Im not buying a term paper from him after all.

That is fine, and I do wish you luck. The guidance in the latter part of this thread comes down to professional appearance. There are a ton of girls in this industry, so I do not think that will hold you back at all.
Projecting yourself as professional and responsible, with a good end product will be all you really need to succeed.
Between the run-ons and the confusion over the Enchi issue, you are getting a bit of a rough start. That is fine, as we have all been there, but it makes it harder to dig out if you make an initial poor impression.
Like I said, good luck and I hope you take some of the advice to to heart. It is not personal, really just trying to help.
