Hey now. I do freelance copy writing from time to time. 
But seriously - that's really bad.

Yeah you are! Now you need to program another term into your BlackBerry: y'all. You're such a crappy Southerner
I thought you would like that Y'all. YAL = Ya'll

Whether I'm texting, emailing, chatting online, or even posting on a forum I typically use proper English. I can't stand abbreviations or "text talk". I don't know why but it just bugs me when someone is too lazy to spell things out properly and sound like an intelligent human being.

No doubt that this true for a segment of the population.
How about a new thread called "spell-check is your friend?" If this error is making the website of a BMW dealer whose target audience is probably full of people that share DanH's sentiment, I only wonder what is going out in templates created by employees. It might be worth taking an hour to read through the templates that your employees are sending. Do most dealers require employees to screen their templates through a manager before they are allowed to use them?

Bumping this thread with another glaring error made by a vendor on a dealer website. See how long it takes you to find it, then scrutinize your own site...
Also, thanks to the power of DealerRefresh, the copy on that ad on another forum has now been proofed.

✨ AI Highlights
- The thread explores whether smartphones and instant access to information make people smarter or dumber, with participants debating whether relying on digital tools and autocorrect atrophies basic skills like spelling and grammar.
- While some argue this represents natural language evolution, others contend that professional communication—like resumes, marketing materials, and vendor pitches—requires careful proofreading regardless of technology, and errors in these contexts reflect poorly on competence and credibility.
- The consensus leans toward using technology as an efficiency tool rather than a crutch, with proper communication standards remaining essential in professional settings.
