This is such a pet peeve of mine - particularly the mis-use of our language and incorrect spelling by professionals.

Judge Scolds Attorneys' Bad Writing in Texas Cheerleading Case

ita !!!!! With so many legal documents only needing names, dates, other bits of information being changed, it makes you wonder how many documents they have created with the same errors.

Being new is no excuse !!!!

ita, I've said it for so long and here it is - a judge is fed up.

Yes!! It does matter. People will not respect you, if you can't write beyond a Kindergarten level.

I had to read medical notes for my job. Sometimes, they were handwritten and sometimes were transcribed.
It was almost scary at the poor grammar and/or horrible spelling contained in the notes, supposedly written by well-educated professionals!

Never mind the written statements from injured workers and witnesses! It was no wonder they couldn't get a job paying more than minimum wage....

Everybody makes mistakes, and I can overlook some mistakes as long as the overall "product" makes sense. But, when it's so bad that I can't figure out the gist of the letter/document?? I just have to give up.
