    Do you not have guts to say the same to your potential employer then?

    There are different forums. If you are asking for advice or help, it's a bad idea from the very first lines [STRIKE]your [/STRIKE]you type to show disrespect to the people that you are asking.

    I have to confess that English is not my first language, but unlike you I am doing my best to improve it. You are very welcome to correct me.

    To be fair, I can see what grumbler means. When you're posting on a site asking for advice, it doesn't look good that you can't be bothered to take an extra minute to capitalise, punctuate and not use text speak.
    I understand that people are on mobiles, iPads etc, but that's no reason, I always make sure to type properly. I think it just comes across as a bit disrespectful.
