Can you imagine an article about writing clearly and effectively whch ws wrtn all lik dis??!# It sez good shit, wy u care f its all txtspk?

No, you need to avoid demonstrating the opposite of what you're setting out to teach at the very first moment. Don't put an obvious SQL injection in the form that leads to your article on web security. Don't use a hyperactive loudmouth to promote your massage therapy business. And don't put an article about web design on a site that hurts the eyes.

Is it her fault? I guess not, although I imagine she knew what the site looked like even if she didn't actually design it. Does it mean that the content is worthless? Of course not. Is it a huge red flag that really should not be there? Oh yes.
