"Me, writing an email:

I'm using an exclamation point so you know I'm friendly and excited! But now I'm using a period so that you know I'm not crazy. Here's another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!"

And here I am reading it and just thinking "it's hard to take this buffoon seriously, he doesn't even take the time to ensure proper punctuation before sending emails."

When you neglect to ensure clarity of your emails using proper spelling, grammar and punctuation, you steal time and energy from all the receivers who have to spend extra effort trying to understand what you're saying. I find poor language to be arrogant and disrespectful.
