I believe I was taught, were teached phonics, or something like that. Now I'm hooked. Hi, I am Scrubs and I am a Phonic-a-holic.

There are plenty of crapy detailers around my area as well that don't have a clue how to detail but I'm not going to put them down on a public forum. Grow up people.

You flamming the OP for sharing his opinion on professionalism is childish. And now I am being childish.

Yes its very childish what he did. He really didn't have to share the link to the persons post on Craigslist. First off what if she was a member in here? Secondly what if one of her customers are on this forum and come across that.
Seriously that was just a worthless post and extremely unprofessional. For being a business owner I would never publicly put another person of the trade down. Especially if you don't even know the person.

First of all this is a forum were people can speak there mind on a number of things in the detailing world with others who share your passion, that Craigslist post is a form of advertisement, where you are trying to bring revenue in. I don't know about you, but when a I create ANY form of advisement for my business I make sure everything is right from the spelling to word placement. I can only wonder if she had received any business with that post because anyone can see that it's spelled wrong.

Like I said it's a form of advertisement, especially when your advertisement is your customers first impression of you, something as simple as misspelled words can deter them from going to you. Can purely be meant as an educational tool /advice something to consider instead of getting offended.

Listen it's not the fact that I don't agree on what you're saying. Yes it's a huge first impression. However did you really have to post the ladies Craigslist ad? That's the rude part of this.
Also trust me this is not a forum where you can say what you want. They are rediculous on their rules here and uptight. Lol trust me I know.

Before the days of self-serve filling stations (era 1970) I went into a combination gas station/domino parlor in rural OK. I asked the guy behind the counter to fill it up please. His reply to me was "can't ya read the sign sonny?" I looked out front and it read "hepursef" which he informed me meant help yourself. Kind of crude but it served it's purpose and got the point across.
