Haha, I love the caveat 🙂

But yes, I’d have to agree.  It’s quite easy to decipher intelligence or age by the number of typos in a piece of writing.  Although I wouldn’t penalize a company for the occasional typo, if it became more of a habit I’d definitely start forming a poor opinion of them.

Well, no… I should caveat that by admitting to immediately deleting unsolicited emails which appear to have been written by non-native speakers of English. Unfortunately, this practice has left several disparate members of African royalty to rot in prison, without the opportunity to rightfully reclaim their hereditary place on the throne. Sucks to be them.
