I get a fair number of message with very little or no punctuation. Should I expect these to be scammers?

Scammers tend to give themselves away though other actions.



I agree ... feeling it already ... surprisedlaugh

Next! Maybe not necessarily scammers, but lazy and sloppy. Messaging from your phone is no excuse. Put in a double space, and it puts in a period for you.

Tnanks, folks.

Maybe posing forum questions just didn't occur to me. Or maybe burying my Mom this week gave me reason to turn to advice from strangers.

RustyKitty, I'm guessing you know what I mean when I say I enjoy and believe in the value of the joke and the book, _Eats, Shoots and Leaves_.

Punctuation,to me, is important
Here is an example
Let's eat Grandma
Let's eat, Grandma
Hopefully you can ascertain the difference

A professor wrote on the board
A woman without her man is nothing
The men wrote
"A woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote
"A woman: without her, man is nothing."

So yea, it's important...



Exactly! Punctuation and grammar saves lives. :thumbsup: biggrin

I put it down to the lazy, modern day, shocking use of the English language personally!
