There were a few places where the text didn't even parse, probably because of missing words.

Normally, when I see writing that bad (like on a discussion forum like this one), I just dismiss the author and skip the comment. A mistake here or there is understandable, but this was too much.

Well, then today you (I hope) learned that by doing that you may be skipping on the likes of Bill Gates, who is very much a person who can provide really interesting insights in many topics.

For me, what's important is the message not the format, syntax or any errors it contains.

We're humans and we're.not.9erfect.

I suspect that to be some artifact of the way the email has been stored/archived over the years.

Sorta looks like the email was line wrapped to 100 chars, then line wrapped again to 95, and whatever words fell off a line were deleted.
