Am I the only one bothered by poorly written auction (coin) descriptions?

In a post from last night pontiacinf shared his experience regarding his canceling his bid on this Auction.
I viewed the auction and immediately recognized that I would never have bid regardless of the feedback. It was just too poorly written for me to give any credence to the seller. Yet in the multiple replies no one even mentioned the fact.
Am I the only one that would never have placed a bid based upon this guys opening paragraph in his description?
<< <i>Bought to you directly from a privet coin collector, this last week I was able to put together a deal with a privet coin collector to purchase some 7000 + coins in 2X2’s. As you will see form the photos there are just too many coins for one person to go thought. So my wife told me to just break up the collection and sell if off in small lots. So this is what I will do. >>
This guy is either too uneducated to write a coherent description or is too careless to run a business.
Bought instead of Brought
Privet = Type of shrub
form instead of from
thought instead of through
Well, he at least uses spell check.
I just run from these auctions. I know there may be some good deals I am losing out on but it seems like most of the problem auctions mentioned on the forum are similar in error content.
Am I an educated elitist?
Am I wrong to stereotype these sellers?
How do you view poorly written auction descriptions?
This may be helpful to some of the sellers here to know our opinions on this matter.
