Has anyone ever wondered why spammers don't use proper grammar? Is it because the majority of people they target can't type with proper grammar, or because they're foreign?
- hugh3 15y agoAlmost certainly because they're not native English speakers.
- ehsanu1 15y agoI seem to remember spammers doing this in order to evade naive spam filters. For example, substitute "v1agra" for "viagra", and get through to the inbox. Though once you use a trick like that and it gets marked as spam a few times, you can't use it again. So yeah, perhaps your reason is more sensible.
- jarek 15y agoNot that native English speakers always use proper English grammar in situations where proper grammar is not required for business success (and spam is obviously one).
