Byte, I am with you on this. It was different when I was 12 and just realized I could use foul language but come on people. How do you function in a professional world like that? One of the first turn offs when dealing with a vendor/contractor for me is if they start cussing like a drunken sailor right off the bat. This can pretty much guarantee I will not use them.
I had a contractor on my last big job that cussed every other word, literally. I asked his boss to remove him from my job permanently or he would lose the contract. I have customers that come around too, I can't have this type of behavior going on.
The grammar and spelling on the forums doesn't get to me too much and unless it's just horrible. When a post if that bad or especially if it's just one long run on sentence I stop reading and go to the next post in line.
However nitrostarter, the South Louisiana accent is a whole other cookie! I love Louisiana and thick Nawlin's accents. If I didn't have a Texas accent (that's Texas, not southern people) I would want a Louisiana accent for sure, then Australian would be 3rd. An Aussie accent is like a British accent with balls! My apologies to all you Brits who I have offended with this remark......
My cousin moved to Australia some 10+ years ago and now has an Aussie/Texas accent and I am kind of jealous. People really trip when he's back home and they hear a black guy (he's half black but looks all black) with his accent speaking.
