This post goes out to my newest follower (number 26!), American Girl in London. According to her info, she's moved out there to be with her beau, and I think that whenever she has doubts or gets nervous, she can look back on posts like these and know she's made the right choice!
Here is the entirety of an email I received from a man on the internet.
hi beautiful,so what you have been upto lately how was ur Long weekend mine was long :) i was in atlantic city playing poker and made just 114 dollars LOL.

I don't even know what to say about this. I think it speaks for itself. Some questions, though:
1. Was the space bar faulty on his computer?
2. He had no problem spelling out the other words in the email, so do you think he actually just doesn't know how to spell "your"?
3. Do you think he thought to himself, "Grammar? i barely even know her!" WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE PERIOD IN THIS EMAIL?! And why is the 'l' in long weekend capitalized? I'm sorry, that really gets my goat. If you don't know me at all, and our initial mode of communication is written, don't you think it would be behoovy of you to write using correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation? I mean, what else do I have to go on?
4. 114 dollars? What a weird amount to win.
Luckily I've found someone who's willing to joke about grandchildren--and he types so well!

Is there a second date lined up yet??
wow, even i couldn't make my self look like a looser that quickly. from nothing to dodged a bullet in two lines...
Is he trying to impress you by saying he won 114 dollars or is there a hint of disappointment? It's impossible to say.
"Grammar? i barely even know her!"
^^ This is another point in which you say something that sounds so obvious in hindsight yet I've NEVER heard anyone use that expression. FANTASTIC.
