hi thats ill send it off soon

I take great delight in responding to people after a trade on TradeMe, by writing in the exact same method that they write to me. Ninety-nine percent of the time, this means no punctuation or capital letters at all. Including any and all proper names.

Sentences are distinguished by line breaks only, and words like “thanks” I misspell as “thats”. If a word ends in an “s” I might just throw an apostrophe in there for good measure.

And to finish it all, I sign off with one final sentence, which has everything completely correct in it.

Well, it amuses me, and they’ll never notice. And the title of this post? Most of a real email I received.
