How about the fact that noncoherent isn't a word, either...it's incoherent. Also, it's incorrect to write "2" and not "two" as numbers one through ten should be written out. And don't get me started about leaving out apostrophes, LOL.

This is an informal forum and for the most part people can write in shorthand here as long as they can make themselves understood, and no one should nitpick about it...unless he/she is the one nitpicking someone else's writing.

From a schedulers perspective. . . if you are new and trying to get your first assignment, your writing sample is imparative. It is one way I know you can write and if you have any mystery shopping experience. Writing a noncohent sentence or paragraph makes me skip over you. Not using basic punctuation and capitalization makes me skip over you. Writing 2 lines makes me skip over you. Writing in short hand makes me skip over you. Writing in vague, non specific, cover anything in generalized terms, makes me skip over you. Decide not to include one at all, I may be nice and ask you for one, but that is rare and unlikely. Your sample doesnt have to perfect but let it be a reflection of your skills. You can copy and paste a sample you have done and just change the name or leave out the name of the place.

What happens if I spell 'imperative', 'imparative' or 'noncoherent', 'noncohent' or make the other mistakes in the above?

I was going to ask who they were an editor for myself, but this response basically sums up my thoughts. If you going to come here and try to explain why you would exclude people, you have to double check your post for errors.

Mhm. And the server and bartender could have spilled three martinis in the time it took to get my drink to me

That's an interesting comment, where does that saying come from? I have never heard of that one, though I heartily agree with what I think it means.
