    When you run a business you should be professional about it.
    For a small/home-level business it is fine to have 1-2 typos or a grammar mistake in some product or service description especially if there is a lot of text. We not perfect. I mean it's not like everyone can afford a language professional ensuring proper sentence structure, clear indications, excellent use of every word.

    BUT, having errors on titles and big announcement.. that shows that you provide no effort in what your offering.

    That is demotivating. It shows a complete lack of professionalism when a business owner or worker cannot even advertise a service or product without making stupid, embarassing typos. What's even worse is that taking a minute before listing it would have allowed him to proof read it and possibly notice the typos. Just plain fail to be honest. I proof read my forum posts because I know I make mistakes whilst typing and don't always notice them straight away. Typing on the low profile keys of an Apple wireless keyboard most of the time doesn't help that much, but it takes like 30 seconds to proof something short that you've written :rolleyes:

    I think it's funny that every reply in this thread has at least one grammar mistake.

    I think everyone's deliberately adding grammatical misteaks just to annoy you two. :D

    I wonder if this post effects a change in the situation.

    Been a member since Feb and only has 10 feedback, so i doubt this is the only thing thats making them money, More likely to be a side line to keep the cutter in use when they have no specific jobs for it.

    Ive just asked about getting some 12mm lexan cut, ill see what they say.

    What happens if we don't approve of the poof? Do we get a refund before sending him back?

    But seriously, I wouldn't trust a guy that doesn't put in any effort with his listing to cut any of my expensive side panels.

    I find a electric router works on plastics so long as you use a small cutter .

    Ok, who told him? Seems like he has run out of poofs and is only sending proof from now on. But at least its still proof of your palel.
