Why do phishers deliberately use bad grammar or spelling?

Doing data protection training and it says ‘Many hackers misspell words… on purpose.’
I’m glad this makes scams easier to spot but it just doesn’t seem to make sense to me as a useful tactic at all.

Edit: typo correction- hackers not jackets!

You can always send more spam, that’s easy. Real work of scamming starts when someone responds. So you want to make sure only a complete moron takes the bait, otherwise you are wasting your time on trying to scam people you are not going to get money from.

Hmmzz… should hook ChatGPT up to talk with scammers…. wouldn’t that be fun.
