			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Spammers,</p>
<p>I realize you have to make money. I know that somehow you think sending me the same exact email twenty different times (even though it&#8217;s directed to a man which I&#8217;m so obviously not) will make me click on whatever link you&#8217;re sending me, and I might perhaps buy whatever you&#8217;re selling.</p>
<p>You&#8217;d be wrong, but I understand. But, really, is it too much to ask that the spam be at the very least grammatically correct?</p>
<blockquote><p>Your girl is unsatisfied with your pottency?<br />
Don&#8217;t wait until she finds another men!<br />
Click here to choose from a great variety of LICENSED love t@bs!<br />
Best pri$es, fast shipping and guaranteed effect! Here you buy it<br />
right from warehouse!<br />
The store is VERIFIED BY BBB and APPROVED BY VISA!</p></blockquote>
<p>To begin with, if you&#8217;re asking a question, it might help if you ask it as a complete sentence, with correct spelling, such as: <em>Is your girl unsatisfied with you potency?</em> Also, seeing the statement &#8220;<em>Don&#8217;t wait until she finds another men!</em>&#8221; leads me to wonder if the girl in question is going to find multiple men, or just one. Please, please either change <em>another</em> to <em>other</em>, or <em>men</em> to <em>man</em>. But, for the love of all that is holy, don&#8217;t change both of them.</p>
<p>Also, using the phrase &#8220;click here&#8221; implies that those particular words are a link, which if I were inclined to click on them, I couldn&#8217;t. Changing the &#8220;s&#8221; to a dollar sign and an &#8220;a&#8221; to &#8220;@&#8221; is clever in a pre-teen sort of way, which I don&#8217;t think is you&#8217;re intended audience, and if it is, maybe you should be re-thinking your marketing strategy. &#8220;Here you buy it right from warehouse!&#8221; can me multiple things when punctuation is added. Am I buying it right there, or do you mean that I&#8217;m buying it directly from the warehouse?</p>
<p>And finally, using all caps for certain words, while bringing attention to them, also leads me to believe that they are FALSE.</p>
<p>Thank you for considering me as future customer, but with these annoyingly awful errors in your emails, you&#8217;ve guaranteed that I won&#8217;t be purchasing any LICENSED love t@bs from you. Not that I needed them anyways, since I&#8217;m the one who&#8217;d be finding another men.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Me</p>
