"Why can't people write a simple sentence without it being full of mistakes that takes ages to read so you just end up deleting it lol"
This kind of thing really irritates me especially when they don't realise how incomprehensible their message is. |

That's true bad spelling isn't a sign of stupidity, as long as I can understand a message then I'm not so bothered. If I can't understand it then how can I be certain if I'd understand someone? |

Sadly though that is the commen misconception. You can't spell your thick. Thankfully in both our cases that's far from true. Id tell you what i do but why bother I'd be sinking to the level of this very commen thread and intelligence. Best of luck with your masters i no it can't be easy  |

Yeah,,,,, but here's the thing some of the histories most admired writers, poets , radical thinkers, leaders in world affairs, inventors , scientist etc etc were not proficient in the sepelling department .....
So I like to think as long as a misspelling can be understood it takes a small minded person too find fault with the authors intentions.  |

I hate it when I spell one word wrong and someone points it out when it is clear what I'm on about.
I know which you mean though and a lack of punctuation often exaserbates the issue x |

How are there so many mistyped words when our phones and browsers go out of their way to autocarrot what we type?
Do I hate bad spelling? No. But I am sometimes compelled to correct the spelling if I'm quoting  .
What I find worse is missing punctuation, poor grammar or txt speak, because these can make the message or post difficult to read or understand. |

I don't like bad speeleng either. But unfortunately I am dyslexic. I can quite often tell that a word is incorrect but have no clue how to correct it (short of hitting F7)
Don't think it's a sign of stupidity coz I'm quite a clever cunt, or so I'm told...(well, I think I heard the word clever) |

We all have things that put us off people. It doesn't make us bad or judgemental it just means we know what we look for.
I personally dislike text speak and bad writing, however I would never assume it makes someone stupid. |

Text speak is horrible. I need a translator for when I receive a text from my mum. I think we might have gone role reversal here  |

I can tell the difference between reading a message from someone who is say dyslexic ( as the content still flows its just a little jumbled on occasions ) than someone who hasn't maybe had the best schooling / using random yoof text speak.
It doesn't bother me but if I can't understand the first line, the message gets deleted.

My ten year old actually uses "lol" as an adjective; as in "you should've seen it, it was so lol".
It's curious to see adults use random txt speak in normal sentences. |

You haven't forgotten your own name, your conscious mind thinks you have. The structure of sentences is processed unconsciously. The unconscious is much more powerful than our conscious minds. |

My teenager does that, instead of maybe chuckling he'll say 'that's lol'
I use text speak a lot more now as I find he responds much quicker if I do ~ it then spills over into other messages. |

I dislike bad spelling and grammar but some people really struggle with it due to dyslexia. 2 of my good friends can't spell because of it. One is a student career advisor and one is the director of a charity. Evidently it hasn't held them back in their careers so why should it hold them back elsewhere in their lives?! |

It irks but as some of the people I love most on this planet can't spell it's not a deal breaker. Structure, punctuation and whatever is trying to be conveyed being interesting is much more important.
I don't understand why people write txt spk when lamenting its use.

As we said on a similar thread a while back , why it matters how well someone can spell is beyond us .
We are here to meet people and engage in NSA sex with them , not to judge their ability in a spelling test . |

Lots of reasons why people's spelling may appear 'wrong', including writing on small screens, where visibility is poor, speech to text, where the PC gets it wrong - perhaps like op - or personal circumstances. I make mistakes here, so unless I can't understand someone, I just persevere. |

Text speak came about as a character saving method so you could send a longer text without having to pay for two
Modern phones removed the need for this.
If you still had to pay like you used to text speak wouldn't of died the death it has.
The likes of ur, k etc are still around.
I still use wtf, tbh when texting.

Some people don't make spelling mistakes because they mean to, they genuinely struggle day to day with spelling. Threads like these don't help either, it will just put people who do struggle with it off posting in fear of being embarrassed |

I don't hate it,and it's not the be all and end all. However, seeing as the primary form of communicating on here is "text",being able to use a fair standard of spelling and grammar will help? And yes there are people with differing abilities,so no need to mock. |

dyslexia is not all about just spellings
structuring sentences,thought and ideas can also be difficult or impossible.
and grammar and punctuation,is part of that structuring, which lets face it, they were sometimes crap at teaching you anyway....
so my feeling is, i would prefer someone to write in the forums or post a message, without all these "desirable" qualities,
than stay away, cos they felt they were being judged or looked down upon..
a little more thought about the person you are criticizing, and a little more thankfulness, that its not you, struggling to communicate by the written word..

People should concentrate on what`s being said, by being a grammar Nazi they can miss some important points, someone with a learning difficulty could write something that changes your life for the better, and you miss it because of a few mistakes. Don`t exclude people. |

. Maybe some people should have worked harder at school or are failing to regularly assess their strengths and weaknesses ..Studying Latin at school would also have helped .
I have recently enrolled in evening classes in French and purchased The Usbourne Guide to Better English , grammar , spelling and punctuation. At a cost of £9.99 it was money well spent . |

I personally hate noticing I've spelt something wrong, but don't worry about others. Unless it's in work and it's an important document etc. Bad spelling isn't a deal breaker, I dislike grammar and punctuation when it's rubbish, and any use of 'lol' just kills me |

When I make mistakes , I like to be corrected . That way I learn something new and hopefully avoid making the same mistake again. When people correct mistakes which I make , I appreciate the time and effort which they have taken to advise me . That is the only way I will learn. |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
There's generally an obvious difference between "fat finger" typo's, honest mistakes, text speak, and wilfully typing nonsense.
My expectations, and therefore tolerance of the above, vary depending on the medium - forum posts are typed quickly and cease to be focused on very quickly, whereas messages will be re-read and need to differentiate the sender. Profiles should show signs of having been read by their owner at least once! |

Just a question rather than a criticism. Is there a reason why you invariably leave a space between a word and a punctuation mark? |

Surely its just personal preference? People can judge poor spellers if they wish; because they can. If you don't like it then delete block and move on. There has to be some chemistry for it to work and if bad spelling turns you off........

We are gonna take a pad and paper out with us , and before play we are gonna get the meet to spell 10 words . If they one any wrong it's a forfeit - perhaps just a hand job and no oral or shagging , 2 wrong and no kissing either , 3 wrong and they can move on .
As our meets are outdoor we may need a torch , but allowances for bad light may be made .

as we know from the other threads that come up on this topic... you are allowed to have preferences of all forsm... just so long as they aren't spelling related....
big cock.... cool
good body.... fine
good sense of humour.... please
BBW, black, white, rich, tall, pretty...... yes yes yes yes yes!!!
good speller...... nooooooo!!!!!!!! burn in hell!!!! how dare you!!!
look... we all make spelling mistakes...and god bless spell check because I would make a lot more than i do..... but there is a difference between making mistakes and being lazy...
if it get to the point where i have to read something three times to make heads or tails of something that is being said.. i tend to find the attraction has gone a lot by then..... |

Some of the worst disasters and jokes have been the result of spelling or grammatical mistales.
Equally, some of the most heroic acts and best jokes are the result of the various miss-spellings and play on the language that would never get past a mechanistic grammar or spell checker.
We are humans, not machines...I cringe at some of the errors but accept that people are at least trying to communicate.
And don't get me started on mathematical errors, like 87% of a sample of 101 women preferred Black-My-Root's shampoo.
No smilies were injured in this post. Please treat them with respect. |

"seems pompous to me to judge people by their spelling etc
I have a degree in English and write for a living but completely useless at anything practical
When I make mistakes , I like to be corrected . That way I learn something new and hopefully avoid making the same mistake again. When people correct mistakes which I make , I appreciate the time and effort which they have taken to advise me . That is the only way I will learn.
Just a question rather than a criticism. Is there a reason why you invariably leave a space between a word and a punctuation mark?"
It is a habit which I got into . When I use spell checker , it always highlights these errors .I will try and rectify it in future . |

I can understand it so would feel no need to correct it. I don't know the reasons for the typo's etc. |

Agree
Perfectly understandable and certainly not a deal breaker for me . In fact I may get some lycra if it evokes that kind of reaction |

To publicly take the piss and/ or correct people is pathetic and childish. It's perfectly understandable text. If you can't understand it that's your problem, not the person that wrote it. |

Aaah, so the problem is mine. How stupid of me to have assumed that responsibility somehow lies with the producer rather than the consumer. Next time someone crashes into my car I'll sue Ford. Or when I eat some mouldy bread I'll take Asda to court because its their fault I consumed an unfit product. Your logic makes excellent sense and removes any and all obligations from me, the producer to you, the consumer.
What a complete load of tosh. |

I think you misunderstood my point. I fully support your right to use whatever selection criteria you wish when choosing who to fuck.
My issue is with people taking the piss out of other people.

And you misunderstand mine: At no point is the piss taken out of the author of this piece. What I DO do is hold them up as an example of what is generally accepted to a be poorly written piece. |

who really care, some people on here have different levels of education and diferent levels of grasping english, so why the fuck do people think its fine to patronise and correct others, people who do that need to look elsewhere in their own life. |

You need to get out more!!!
Most people on here are probably texting from phones, most probably at times when in company or trying to hide the fact they are on a swinger site, the last thing they think about is spelling and grammar.
Its a forum not a novel or a contract and most people with an ounce of common sense can work out what is being written!
