[nfbcs] Fwd: Accessibility help for knew OS (fwd)

[majolls at cox.net]

Perhaps I'm a bigot, but it amazes me how such an email wants you to take the person submitting it seriously and yet the email has such obvious spelling errors.  Where is the professionalism?  If I were marketing a product, I'd make sure my spelling didn't send the wrong signal.  Just my opinion, but it leaves me with the impression of an uneducated person or someone outside of the country.  Not that foreign nationals  can't write code well, but I have had experiences with foreign nationals where communication was a real issue and this email just reinforces that thinking.  The email just causes a red flag to be raised for me.

Anybody else?
