I thought I'd bring another controversial subject to the fore this morning ...
Do you find lazy spelling and basic grammatical mistakes irritating? Does it bother you having to decipher what the person is really trying to say?
I find it really frustrating when reading posts or emails of people mixing up "no" and "know", "to" and too", "his" and "he's", "underwear" and "underware", "masturbate" and "masterbate" !!

Spelling does irritate me when done incorrectly, mainly when text speak is used instead. Why write 'lyk' why put in a letter than isnt even in the word.
Though I do take into account some people may be dyslexic so it is not their fault. |

Nope! we are looking for NSA fun not an English exam!
We also want to meet with people from all areas of society, including people who may not be born here in the UK, so spelling/grammar is not an issue to us. |

Aslong as I don't have to spend an hour googleing what all these abbreviations mean poor spelling doesn't make a difference.
When there is a huge page of writing with no punctuation at all I give up trying to read it |

Yes, in the privacy of my own home, I wince at bad spelling and grammar, but it doesn't stop me from exchanging messages...messages that I struggle to read because of txt spk are less likely to lead to extended exchanges.
I'd never pick apart a post or PM (unless done ironically on a spelling thread) |

It's not a spelling or dick measuring contest. Yes we are all different and typing mistakes, I'm sure we can all live with.
Maybe I spend too much time correcting my kids' spelling that I cannot help myself when on here.

I hate txt spk - I find it annoying and difficult to decipher (maybe I'm just an old, curmudgeonly, grumpy old bird!)
Bad spelling I can overlook as long as its not every other word. I do detest people getting no and know mixed, there and their and to, too and two! |

Not too bothered about it as i am a culprit at times. I use my phone mostly and big fingers and little keypad are the main culprit for mis-spelling. Im also lazy and cant be bothered to go back to correct. Its not an exam and most people get the context.
However i do hate txt speak and gangsta style chat, reading the word innit many times in some peoples posts is so annoying |

I do understand what the original post refers too, and in some instances, agree with it. A lot of the problem, I think, is down to education, as I have seen my stepdaughters work, which has not been corrected, or commented on by teachers, plus, I am aware, that some 'suffer' from what I dont know if I spell right, but Dyslexia, which is difficult for them, so I dont think critisism is needed, unless the facts are known |

Well I am sorry I just see spelling as some people are different . As I know Agatha Christie was the world's best selling book writer had dyslexia but in no way did it stop her from being creative . Albert Einstein Being one of the most important great minds of his century Albert Einstein was then known to suffer from dyslexia mainly because of his bad memory and his constant failure to memorize the simplest of things. Loads of people in high places cant spell well . |

As my spelling and grammar is far from perfect it doesn't bother me too much, usually the profiles or posts that are totally written in text speak that I can't make head nor tail of annoy me more.
Spelling mistakes aren't normally enough to put me off, the odd word spelled incorrectly doesn't prevent me from understanding what they are trying to say. |

No but then my spelling, grammar and punctuation isn't great. As long as I can make out what someone is trying to say, that's all that matters to me.
I find the spelling police and grammar nazi's who swoop down on others, much more annoying.

I couldn't care less. Some long-winded,overly descriptive posts bore me. I'm guilty of that myself. Oh,and being a bad speller and poor at grammar doesn't mean a person is uneducated,and vice versa |

Will not penalise people for poor spelling and grammar , but still prefer well written messages with correct spelling. I find text language completely unacceptable.

If the miss use of words really bothers you, then please feel free to move on to the next message, some people, myself included, get offended when our spelling and grammar is picked apart
apart.
Just because you are better at spelling dose not give you the right to put anyone down!
At the end of the day it you need to really think about changing "no" to "know" to the point you find it hard to read, you should ask who really is the stupid one. |

I can't think why you would class it as a controversial subject ? It most certainly is not but would bet good money that it's been done to death on here.
Just another sneaky way of thinking a certain type believe they're smarter than others. |

First of all, it took me two attempts to pass my English O Level and, I only got a grade C. So, there maybe mistakes in this post!
However, I always flinch when I see people using "your" (belongs to you), when they mean "you're" (contraction of "you are"). |

If it's simply the typical errors most make with spelling and grammar, I'm not too fussed as long as it is readable.
However, when I get messages which are indecipherable then I just don't understand why they bother If I can't make sense of it, then I cannot answer it. |

How you spell and read tends (stresses tends) to come from your preferred way of accessing information.
Majority of people tend to use visual information gathering, so bad spelling will stop the flow of information, which is annoying as they're putting things right instead of information gathering.
A large number prefer auditory to gather information, therefore they gather information phonetically and spelling isn't a problem. Equally a large number of auditory gathers will be put off by a large text so will not have read this far - ho hum.
So it depends on the persons and how the tend to access the world.
I know (and there are usually clues in profiles, posts) that if a person does access visually a badly worded message is not going to cut ice and I adapt to meet their requirements.
Now I need to get out of my head mode - where's the bottle.  |

Firstly, it's a swinger's site not a sex site - a more than subtle difference.
It was not my intention to offend anybody. I was just airing my frustration on this forum which is a place for free speech and banter. I am not native to the UK and maybe having learnt English as a foreign language made me be more careful with my spelling to get the right message across and avoid being misunderstood.
As for your last sentence, we will let the populus decide.
p.s. a late entry to my list ... "dose" and "those"

no! It dont find it irritating or frustrating.. Am more interested in what people have to say, and how they come across, not if words are spelt right or a full stop been used .
I'm happy to read how people _xpress themselves. I don't in any way compare their spelling skills to any skills they may have in the bedroom! Like to keep things real |

For couples it can be a swingers site, for us singles it's a sex site as it's been stated on more than one occasion that single people on here cannot be classed as swingers. |

Snap, spelling can be put down to many things from phone typos etc but bad grammar! Do people really talk in the same fashion as they type? If so god help us all. |

Our _iew is it gives an indication of the type of people we are meeting up with regardless if they are physically attractive ( which is priority one of course ) it's also nice to make a connection too rather that just be about the sex. Having said that we have played with couples in a club and barely spoken with them beforehand or knew their names. We would avoid text / street talk people - nah wot im sayin bruv |

I just typed out almost exactly the same thing but then I deleted it and I will instead |

"I thought I'd bring another controversial subject to the fore this morning ...
Do you find lazy spelling and basic grammatical mistakes irritating? Does it bother you having to decipher what the person is really trying to say?
I find it really frustrating when reading posts or emails of people mixing up "no" and "know", "to" and too", "his" and "he's", "underwear" and "underware", "masturbate" and "masterbate" !!

Bad spelling is not nearly as bad as text speak. |

Text speak gets me worked up.. bad spelling and grammar only pisses me off when I am correcting GCSE , A level or BA Degree in English literature. I am not really that fused on social media website. If it's part of your screening process, I can understand that also. But to complain about it, is incensitive to those that have difficulty with spelling etc.  |

"As long as someone is articulate I don't mind spelling or grammar.
There are people whom have messaged me with impeccable sentence structure and spelling but seem thick as fuck."
So what does articulate mean to you? The dictionary defines it as: _xpressed, formulated, or presented with clarity and effectiveness, e.g.:
an articulate thought.
So, poor grammar and spelling may not confer clarity and be confusing a lot of the time

Bad spelling I can live with as long as its close enough to the real spelling so its easily understandable. Bad grammar just makes me thing someone is half baked or an idiot everyone should be able to come up with passable understandable sentences. |

Spelling and punctuation isn't a big deal to us as we know English standards are low these days, I've seen more than enough job applications at work to see that and Mo is an ex teaching assistant so she's seen it first hand is schools.
Laziness and text speak are the things that we don't receive well, you can often tell how much effort has been put in, when its obvious that little or no effort has been made we give the same effort back. |

That's great, but the way in which most people on here make their first communication is written, so the written medium is the initial way in which you put yourself across to someone. Doesn't matter how articulate and erudite you are in your head, that won't come across in a written message if it's badly written |

Think its a case of perspective really... Only a small proportion of people on fab use the forums... We have met people at clubs who don't even use this site. So in that respect written messages are of no importance. If people choose to use perfect spelling etc as a filter to who they meet or not , then so be it.
My point is face to face , (for us anyway ) is the true reflection of a person ... As I mentioned earlier, the fact some have to correct and belittle others actually tells me more about them , than the person who spelt a word wrong or put a full stop in the wrong place.  |

We are with you there, as I said before English standards have dropped over the years many can't even enunciate correctly let alone be able to put it down on paper. Let the personality shine not the standard of their education.
We do agree the drop in standards are shocking though. |

A thought. In order to post anything on here you have to have some sort of computer device, be it a pc, laptop, tablet or smartphone. All of these can also run word processing applications, which oddly enough have spelling and in some cases grammar checkers. I'm writing this on a smartphone and it is coming up with predictive text. So the dyslexia argument doesn't hold water. Poor spelling is because people can't be bothered to use the tools at their disposal. In other words - laziness. [Stands back waiting to be flamed] |

This also proves that following grammar rules is very important. Though each word has the correct letter which are mixed up - the grammatical construction of each sentences is actually spot on. If you mixed that up then it would be total gibberish.
Spelling is often not the issue - but bad grammar can sometimes make a piece of text nigh on unreadable. |

If someone is so uptight they have to point out spelling/ grammar mistakes, think what a crap meet they'd be.
Pointing out if you were in the wrong position, you weren't horny enough, you had an orgasm at the wrong moment...!! |

I am not a native English speaker so have an excuse to ask them to write in standard English. Thing is, some of them honestly do not know the difference. |
