> do you believe these people are worth less because you believe yourself we choose our values and inherit our intelligence ? No, but I would probably be less inclined to want them as a housemate (RE: the article). The premise is that the e-mail is all you have to go on, so while it's definitely reading into the details it'd almost certainly be a consideration. For example, if someone places a low value on communication then it would likely be more difficult to come to reasonable mutual understandings about household protocols (chores/cleaning, respectful practices, etc). > Do you despise them even more so now that it's a value question and not an intelligence one ? I wouldn't say I despise (or even dislike) them at all, we'd simply be unlikely best friends. > Or are they not intelligent enough to pick up the adequate values ? No > It also depends on how you pick up on the less grammatically versed or bully them into shame when pointing out their mistakes. Do you do that ? No > More importantly: s our grasp of grammar strong enough to make up for the perceived deficiencies of the other interlocutors ? Even if it is, it can be a terrible experience where one side is doing an incredible amount of work compared to the other. Incorrect homophones can be very difficult and when you combine them with spelling errors and other errata, it's often as bad as a garden path sentence because the message can be legitimate but have changed meaning.
