This includes having impeccable grammar/spelling when writing. Maybe you don't think correspondence on this network corresponds to writing, but I don't have a voice output unit on my machine. I have to READ this stuff that comes in and I find in distracting and sometimes annoying to fine grammatical and spelling anomalies in the material.
