Deliverys? Seriously?

The spelling is bad enough, but could you please deliver some punctuation marks? Just ring bell thanks. Or just ring. Bell thanks. Bell thanks kitchen? I’m so confused.

“You will be judged, for your entire life, on the basis of how well you write. If you write well, people will think you are smart. If you write poorly, they will think you are dumb. That is perhaps unfair, but it is the reality, and you might as well face it now.”

–Robert Pasnau
