I got this in my inbox, one of too many solicitations that get past the university mail filters. Most of these things are legitimate businesses that do sell the products they advertise. But you will not earn my business if you are too lazy to use my language properly.

I work with companies run by or represented by Chinese and people of other Asian nationalities. Their English is flawless, so it’s not an insurmountable obstacle. If I were selling in another country, I would feel an obligation to use the appropriate language just as well. It comes down to professionalism. If you cut corners on your presentation, then how am I to know you didn’t cut them in other areas of service?
