You need to call. Recruiters are verbal. Reading? Not so much.

  Recruiters want to get you on the phone because it's in their tactical interest, not because they are illiterate.

    Actually, my personal, unscientific, experience indicates a fairly high correlation between being a recruiter and not being able to send an email without spelling or grammar errors (unless it is a pre-existing template, in which case it'll be damn obvious cause they are so poor at adjusting the font of the mail merged part appropriately for it to not blatantly show.)

  Oh, they read, quite a lot. The problem is that they're not only devoid of any sense of ethics, but almost completely tone deaf to how they actually come across to the target audience they're allegedly trying to recruit for something or other. Basically, their thought process seems to go about like this: "Hmm, slow day. I think I'll just go spam 3,000 inboxes of random developers in an attempt to fill a position in some faraway state most of them not only don't live in presently, but would never consider moving to in a million years. They'll be so glad to hear from me! And it will make a great impression not only for our firm, but especially for the Client we recruiting for."
