It's just the "Generation SMS" which doesn't understand the difference between writing business letters and chatting with friends. Simple logic: If somebody doesn't deem it important enough to be written properly, then it's probably not worth reading either. It doesn’t sound arrogant at all.

My boss then asks me: what do you think about this application, JKE? And I reply: They suck. These ppl may know something about our work, but they a) lack any imagination on how to apply in a proper way (= their chance), b) apparently don't really care (in case of doubt, there's Google), c) can't be given any *peculiar* task which requires some amounts of 1. dilligence, 2. accuracy and 3. political sensitivity for a proper wording. In other words: someone who can't even put it in simple words why he/she is qualified for a certain position, shouldnt apply. I know this sounds arrogant, sorry.
