I constantly commit the sin of omitting a/an/the. Non native speaker.

What's my penance?

I'm more concerned by things like war and famine but each to their own I guess.

Everyone makes the odd typo, especially with predictive text. More important things to worry about

My own typos annoy me, other people’s less, but lazy spelling and grammar I can cope with. However, one that people should get right here is ‘discreet’.

It's the ones you can't read. Someone just posted one about a daughter and I gave up.

It was more the grammar than typos.

You're pedantic. The typographical errors and bad grammar are indicative of a combination of speed writing where the brain works faster than digits, mobile phone usage and calorifically enhanced thumbs

“Could of” instead of “could have”.

It doesn't annoy me as such but I do notice it.

Things I've noticed recently are the interchangability of "our" and "are" and "being" and "been".

This is a swingers site not an English exam does it really matter. Also lots of mistakes are due to predictive text on our mobiles. Surely there are way more important things to think about at the moment than who forgot a full stop

Yes, that’s annoying - bad enough spoken but written... No!

At least “I was like...” hasn’t replaced “I said...” just yet.

Mrs is Dyslexic.

We are of the mindset that if the information is understood. Spelling and grammar are of little consequence.

Wuu2 can die in a fire. And "doing much?z" and what you up to?"

People are so vague with what they want when messaging. That's way worse than when someone accidentally a word or makes typos or whatever

If grammar - which I’m keen on was all I had to worry about - i asked my female boss if she was going to video meeting or too busty?? Later on asked her how she was coping with the lickdown. - so to be fair....
