I've suggested for years now that someone could make a killing selling copywriting services to spammers. Poor spelling, bad fonts, random crap, etc - these are all the hallmarks of spam which makes it easy to classify as spam. Well-written, intelligent-sounding, professionally-produced spam would likely get past more filters, and be harder for people to dismiss out of hand, and likely get more sales.

Here on HN or maybe it was Reddit I read the misspellings in spam/phishing were intentional to weed out anyone smart enough to detect it was a scam.
