I love getting spam e-mails. They all go right to my junk e-mail folder as they should, but every once in a while, I go through and read them; just for gits and shiggles. Why are they always so POOR grammatically? Is it an attempt to sneak past your firewall? Am I the only one who reads them, or do you all catch them sometimes and have a good laugh? Has anyone here ever bought into them and maybe made a purchase?
They're basically chunks of random text, formed in combinations meant to result in semi-coherent sentences.
A similar random text generator made a research paper that was read aloud with a straight face at a convention, and while the words were big it made no sense whatsoever.
