Oh, so sloppy spelling and grammar are no good for clients, but good enough
for us on the forum? I disagree, as you owe it to yourself and others to
convey your message or question in a way that is not open to
misinterpretation or plain ridicule. SMS is an exception, and getting a
highly condensed, yet understandable, message into 140 characters is an art
in itself.
