Take a breath...

I got the following email from someone on match:

"My name is garrett and 4 some reason i cant seem 2 get my picture posted but i thought u sound interesting and would like 2 know more about u"

I hate this new trend of using letters instead of numbers. I can somewhat accept it in text messages (but it still bugs me), but an email? To someone you want to date?

For fun, I looked at his profile. The following is his ENTIRE profile:

"30 yr old male decent shape atractive outgoing and fun looking 4 the same fun outgoing must like kids like outdoors 4 wheeling camping a plus i enjoy all music but listne 2 country the most enjoy going out also like 2 stay in im honest faithful and loving"

This isn't even a run-on sentence, because to be one, it must be an actual sentence. Perhaps with some sort of punctuation mark thrown in there. No, his profile is just a bunch of words. It's like he simply barfed out his profile.

Now the real question, should I email him back? Hmmm. Gonna take a pass on that...

Yeah, he's obviously not a fan of any kind of punctuation. And numbers as words also annoys me. I don't even like it in texts!
