it's not always that easy to speak up...
but, honestly, what credit would you give to me asking you to make an
effort with what you write ?

so, here we go:
yes, it is sometimes hard to decipher what you write, and it is even

this can lead to misunderstandings sometimes, which can be avoided.

this was my two cents, take it as such :)
