If you are looking for a good communicator among nerds, you are definitely looking in the wrong place. You need a salesman.

There's a difference between "excellent at communicating" and "obviously does not care".

An excellent example of the latter is the presence of spelling errors that could have been fixed with spell-check, completely random font changes due to copy-and-paste, etc. These typically are just the superficial signs that no thought was put into the content.

It's like showing up for an interview in a dirty t-shirt and sneakers. I'm not looking for excellent fashion sense; I'm looking for a basic awareness of the world around them.
