Getting spam/phishing is annoying, but getting spam/phishing with typos or poor grammar is even worse. IF you are not competent to write correctly, you shouldn’t be trying to scam someone.

I haz spam all the time

PS This is a joke! Spam has become an incredible bore, but there are simple ways around it. For email spam, forward all your mail through a decent spam filter, e.g. Google Mail. For comment spam on your blog, use Akismet. In both cases, train the systems by whitelisting false positives for a week or two, then leave them to get on with their jobs.
Hi David
I have some good spam filters. My ISP does some greylisting what helps eliminating some nasty stuff. And here on the site Akismet does a great job too.
The problem is with an old email account that I have in Brazil, where no spam filter is employed. The things I receive there … What strikes me are phishers that make spell errors or with poor grammar.

Cheers.
PS: I am not really blind. I just try to be blind to any influence, even though my personal influences guide what I write or not.
