    Does spelling mistakes turn you off (a product)

    I just reviewed a site about DRM solutions. Listen to the first paragraph:

    *Edited out* spalizes in providing content owners the ability to make money...
    What are you doing again? Spalizing?

    I closed the page. If they're not serious about their own presentation, I bet their product is even worse.

              I must admit I had a few spelling mistakes on my site but at least I hit F7 (Spell Check) on each page. "Spalize" isn't a verb you can get from a dictionary so it's pretty easy to avoid.

              Maybe I'll alert them to the mistake in an email ... I'll feel good for days on end

                          Bad grammar pisses me the hell off too.

                          Here's a recent example.

                                          OzMan, your right, man! I did it on purpose (the your instead of you're) just to piss you off. You can talk whichever way you want on a forum (no spell checker too lol). A presentation is a whole different story, right?

                                          Btw, if you have the time - check www.nichefetish.com. If you find 3 mistakes, I'll send you a free exclusive set (50 pics or so) with license, etc. I'll be happy to correct them too

                                          Oh, either post them here or send them to [email protected]

                                                  here is the first line I read on your site !

                                                  "Our teen and fetish models are 100% fresh - most have have their first time with us. "


                                                  spot the mistake ?

                                                      Yes! And surfers see this in paysite tours and whatnot too.. I'm amazed people don't proof-read more often. I bet they lose a lot of sales due to spelling errors and bad grammar.. I guess most people figure if you can't even correct your language, you are probably from a country that will cheat them. Ask some surfers and find out what they have to say about it. You would be amazed

                                                                      He was promoting his webmaster program and no, I didn't sign up even though it was a niche I need.

There is a difference in typos and spelling something just all wrong and you can usually tell the difference, but still, they should spell check their work.

                                                                                              I have even caught typos on my own sites, and no matter what I am doing, I run and fix it...... so sometimes they do slip by us, but the plain old fashions spelling errors really drive me nuts. LOL

                                                                                                                      There should be a comma after blow-outs.

If they speak a different language and can't get English grammar perfecly right, I don't hold that against them. If it's just an ignorant English speaking person, that irritates the hell out of me. There's no excuse to be ignorant.
