First of all the title says idiot (singular) and not idiots (plural), so I’m not ‘after’ the whole American population in this one, believe me. Basically I just had to ‘out’ one guy as being a complete ignorant fool by publishing an email I got from him earlier today. I think it is more evidence that some Americans think that no other world exists outside the States.
I believe the fact that he is American and not just some idiot from the ‘world’ is significant due to the subject matter of the email which offers an ‘insight’ into how to spell a particular word… seemingly without any regards for where in the world a person is from or the market they are targeting. It’s almost as if he’s saying ’if that’s how America spells it then everyone else spelling it different must be wrong’.
It’s difficult enough to filter through all the spam, phish and other bulls*!t emails I get through to my email address without having to put up with this, have a look yourself…
Name — Gary Gr*******
Email — *************
URL — *************
Though spelling a word incorrectly in your keyword section of your html might be
fine-having a word for an seo web site spelled incorrectly throughout your site is hardly a confidence builder
Optimisation
\”Optimization\”-Correct spelling
The email is all the text in italics. Well thanks for that Gary I’ll make sure to skip tomorrow’s Sunday dinner and change all occurances of ‘Optimisation’ to ‘Optimization’ on my website just for you or perhaps you could a) stop being so ignorant and become aware of how some things (like spelling for example) are done outside America b) stop wasting my time and finally c) spend more time working on your own website which at the moment looks like something out of 1994 rather than incorrectly slating other peoples websites.
I must admit my face went a bit red in colour… sorry I meant color when I got that mail, anyhow the big question now is should I reply and what should I say? Has anyone got any good URL resources which can open this guys eyes a bit? Richard, Dave, have you ever got an email like that?
