"Sometimes spell check likes to fuck with you.
I can't say it bothers me much if someone makes a few spelling mistakes."
For me auto carrot seems to mess my texts up and I'm guilty for not proof reading |

Your always going to find that their going to be many of which they're grammar is disconcordant to you're own, so their is no point in trying to correct there's.  |

Also I hold my hands up to being dyslexic.
I dont think that would make me or anyone else a bad person or any less fun to meet.
I'm a great believer in giving people a chance and chatting to people |

So many people mis-use the English language because mobile phones have given people a laziness. Your and you’re are one of sample. We’re and were is another. And the lack of a comma, full stop and apostrophe is also an atrocity in many people’s typing.
But it is what it is, and it doesn’t reflect intelligence in our opinion as it is often simply a case of rushing the comment down. I think we have all been guilty of poor spelling and grammar a fair few times.
It surely wouldn’t stop us fucking someone hot if they missed a comma.
Here’s a great example of two massively different sentences that only have a comma to differentiate them...
“When are we going to eat people?”
“When are we going to eat, people?”

You should read the messages or posts that have no full stops no commas no punctuation and you try to decipher what the hell they are on about but you can’t get your head around it because you don’t know where the sentence started and where it finishes especially when they’re writing a story that’s a long read and you don’t know if you’re meant to read it all in one breath or in little chucks but you make do by creating your own punctuations for that person so that it all makes sense.
Yeah, that bugs me.

It's true many people constantly make this mistake. It's also true many people lack in developed grammar skills. But to use that as a filter? Don't forget Op, filters work both ways. Many a person reading your post will see that as a filter for themselves too, regardless of their grammar skills. |

And exactly how many meets have you turned down with people that otherwise are a perfect match.
Is it somewhere between 0 and zero ? |

I am terrible for this. I’m fairly well educated and work in a world where it is very important. But I have become reliant on autocorrect picking up mistakes.
Fortunately for me I have accidentally recruited an incredibly attractive fab teacher who picks me up on all of my many mistakes. Slowly improving! |

For every spelling mistake, you must write it out 10 times at the back of your spelling book! - not today though because it’s your birthday of course! |

Oh and I totally get it. It’s speed over accuracy. Hell, I did it in that post. Autocorrect did me in and I’d not checked before posting lol. As I say, I don’t believe it’s related directly to education or intellect. I believe it’s the age we live in, whereby we are all rushing on these tiny little virtual keyboards and making mistakes or, in some cases, just not concerning ourselves with it. |

Do you mean,”it sort of bothers me. If I’m going to squirt my juice into them and they’re into me, I’d like to know it’s well received”.
You’d not be meeting yourself by your own example. Plus, what does the above have to do with grammar? |

It lacks brevity. A negative had to be added to counteract the determiner of ‘many’. ‘So’ isn’t required.
“Why can so few people...” would have been the most concise. |

I have a huge respect for dyslexics who put the effort in to come on here, interact and entertain us despite the constant judgement from those to whom it comes easily.
I don’t feel that anybody should have to defend or explain themselves. |

Don't really mind spelling or grammatical errors: I make plenty myself if I'm typing too fast, which is always.
If the message or the profile I'm reading is my kinda jam, a misplaced apostrophe won't make me lose my erection.  |

Honestly I’m more interested in the ideas and sentiments and thoughts expressed, rather than the author’s ability to type/write. If I met someone other than through an online platform there would be no spellcheck filter, because it’s irrelevant in terms of whether they are a good/kind/fun/sexy person. So I don’t allow it to colour my judgement in messages either. When people ask me what I look for in a lover, correct use of an apostrophe would come pretty close to the bottom of the list |

Always blame autocorrect
Wife:
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to dead husband! Happy Birthday to you!
Husband: Thanks. I assume you meant “dear”.
Wife: Yes!!! I mean that is a crazy autocorrect!
Sorry babe.
