Carefully edit your profile!
I've read several people's profiles and I have seen a number of grammatical mistakes. I understand this is not English class and I understand that when we are creating posts or post replies, we write quickly and aren't always careful about mistakes; however, your profile is a totally different animal.
When someone wants to know a little about you, they will check your profile, if it is filled with grammatical errors that can only detract from their opinion of you. Whether they will admit it or not, people who want to interact with you will be negatively affected by a grammatically error filled profile.
I'm not saying you should have the world's best write up, I'm just saying that it would be very beneficial if you didn't have any grammatical errors in your profile. So spend five minutes making sure your profile has no glaring grammatical errors.

Well, I tried. Mine is probably full of "run-on" sentences. My avatar I believe projects my intent here, to let the sunshine through clouded issues. If you look really hard, you'll see me floating on the cloud in the center. I realize it's hard to see me in that white robe and long white beard.
Is there a suggestion here that I'm not a memorable member?
I realize my posts are full of writing errors, not just grammatical mistakes. My fingers fly faster than my synapse fires at times. LOL
Great suggestion for those trying to do business here. I do form preconceived notions with poor grammar being used. Some need to try harder and pay attention. BTW, I don't have these issues with bi-lingual types, that I can respect. :)
