Where having bad text really hurts is when your text is written in broken English and looks like someone who doesn't really speak English wrote it. I don't know about you, but when I go to a site if it is written in broken English and looks really amateur and sounds like it was pieced together by a guy who used a English translating website to write it, I am very wary about pulling out my credit card because I'm not so sure those people are reputable.
Yeah, broken english is what I meant...
