Absurdly bad grammar in spam

[Commander Kinsey]

Does anybody really fall for these things?

"Hello there, [email address]
I am can not find anyone on your team who working in the CorelDraw program. Can you provide me with the contacts - email or phone for your CorelDraw specialist, or call or write me?
Appreciate it, and have a good one."

The most annoying thing in there was "write me". Ever heard of the word "to"? You can't write a person. You write letters, words, sentences, not animals.

Bad grammar in spam is a good thing. It's a useful warning sign.

"Write me" is characteristically American, but I don't think it's bad
grammar.

"I wrote him a letter" is perfectly good BrE, as is "I wrote to him".
This is because 'him', 'me', etc. are the forms for both accusative and
dative cases. De même pour les noms propres - er, similarly for proper
names - "I wrote George a letter", "I wrote to George", etc..

Write me is illogical. That means you're actually writing me. You can't create me by writing. You create the letter you send to me.

Strange Americans miss out a word. Usually they add more, like "now what you're gonna wanna do next is turn right", whereas Brits say "turn right".

> Foreigners can kiss my rosy red ass, or arse if you prefer.

Why are Americans obsessed with the ass/arse? Is it because they're so big over there? Instead of "get over here", they say "get your ass over here". Surely you and your ass are connected, you can't move one part of you only.

[Commander Kinsey]

"Write me no poem" is acceptable. It's like "write me a letter". But you can't "write me". It's "write to me". Write me is missing the end, is it a letter, a poem, a bill, a court request?

Maybe they do it on purpose so only the stupid people reply. They're easier to fool and less likely to report them.

Or maybe scammers are all Nigerians with English as a second language.

Yes. You wrote George a letter. But you didn't write George. That would be writing the word George.

'Iemand schrijven' is normal in Dutch, perhaps also in German.

Kinsey ain't one of the names I recognise from aue in previous decades
(I never actually unsubscribed, I merely watched the number of unread
messages accumulate by the tens of thousands), and everyone starts not
in the killfile, obviously. OK, apart from googoogroups users, that is.

However, the problem's fixed. Unlike Kinsey. But that's not my problem

However, that usage of "write" is sufficiently popular that it is
included in the OED:

17.c. transitive. To compose and send a letter to (someone). Now
chiefly North American. In early use with the recipient as an
indirect object (in Old English dative object). By the late 18th
cent. apparently typically analysed as a direct object, and in
Britain viewed as colloquial, or associated with the usage of
business and commercial circles. Now viewed as nonstandard in
British English and similar varieties, but in standard use in North
America.

2017 is from America, not Britain. So is 1973. Anything earlier than that is irrelevant.

When I was at boarding school, I wrote my parents a letter every week.
Perhaps the inclusion of a direct object in that sentence forces the
brain to recognise "my parents" as an indirect object. Once that hurdle
is passed, there's no compelling reason why I shouldn't have continued
to write my parents.
