I agree, i am fully aware each and every person is educated differently, some take in everything easily, some struggle, some have dyslexia etc

I hate seeing people put down because their grammar isnt perfect

I do laugh however when the grammar police get their own grammar wrong whilst correcting folk

Lighten up folks, we are here for sex not english lessons

I don't think it's an issue if people can understand what's written.

However when it's clearly incoherent due to poor grammar, then messages can be taken out of context, hence it's importance.

If you feel you missed out on education, then why not take adult learning courses? With adagogy you benefit from a class eager to learn creating a better environment. Good luck.

Spelling and grammar isn't necessarily a sign of intelligence, it indicates skills in the written word.

I'm sure you are very talented in your chosen specialism.

The reason grammar is deemed important, is that allows us to communicate and understand more effectively.

I don't suggest people should be ridiculed for poor grammar but it shouldn't be brushed aside as something only the stuck up need ?

Whilst I agree we are here for sex rather than English lessons, in order for sex to take place it is necessary for there to be attraction.

Attraction covers many things including physical attributes as well as other attributes such as personality and how somebody conducts themselves.

You will therefore find, not unreasonably, that some people will be put off a person is unable to spell.

I suspect this is not going to go down well with some people but that is my genuine view.

If it's coherent and gets your point across then that should be fine by everybody.

Dare I say forums are maybe not the best place to be, if your written English is really so bad ?

Not aimed at the OP just some of the stuff I've seen on here defies belief.

Quite.

I note, also, it's not ok to look down on someone for poor English but it's ok to look down on them if they can't change a wheel.

It's horses for courses. A lawyer or teacher needs good grammar and spelling.

A sargeant in the army doesn't always (mainly because they used to get the corporals (me!) to write everything out ).

It doesn't mean one is better than the other, just have different skill sets.

What I dislike is poor grammar being used as an instrument to put others down. That always shows to me the one taking the higher grammar ground does not have anything else worth saying.

Did you honestly expect everyone to have the same likes and values as you?

Swingers are individual people with their own likes and dislikes.

Why would that surprise you?

Discrete is an actual word, they just don't know there are 2 spellings with 2 different meanings.

Accommodate is often spelt incorrectly too, as is professional.

With due respect to the OP, I get the impression you are quite self conscious about the issue and sought other peoples views to feel better. When those views don't accord with your own, you don't like it.

Perhaps just accept spelling is important to some people and not others. It is not a question of being right or wrong, it is a question of personal preference.

So use it as a filter and just don't meet any of those grammar police types. Personally written communication is important to me, so I can be put off by text speak, poor spelling and poor grammar. That doesn't mean I think they're a lesser person in any way, just that I think we're less likely to get on.

It is a swinging site and good luck, no doubt you'll probably be more successful than I will!

I simply noted that you suggested you had a poor education suggesting you felt you'd missed out, hence I suggested evening classes.

Different people have different skills . However I do not see many people on here being criticised for either poor spelling or grammar . If mistakes are made, is it not better to be advised of them. ? We should be constantly trying to learn throughout life improving ourselves .

I do find it odd that those who say spelling and grammar do not matter are still prepared to judge people on their looks.

It is a lot easier to improve spelling and grammar than how you look.

Some people value how English is used though. That forms part of the way they make that choice. It's a swinging site but swingers are not all the same. We're regular people, not a different species.

Calling people stuck up for caring about things you don't think are important is not very nice. You don't like people judging you so why would you do the same?

Are you stuck up because you look down on people who can't change a wheel?

Good for you. Coincidentally, I am also fully capable of stripping and rebuilding any combustion engine, usually big diesels, as well as complex hydraulic systems and transmissions.

Good for you. Coincidentally, I am also fully capable of stripping and rebuilding any combustion engine, usually big diesels, as well as complex hydraulic systems and transmissions.

This site is about foreplay not wordplay. I'm annoyed when I see grammar mistakes in The Guardian but I don't ask a woman to spell what we are about to enjoy. Context is everything.

People have tried to be polite to you in explaining why the issue is important. If you continue to suggest that it is stuck up, then people will lose their patience with you.

I can only assume you feel the need to brag abut your accomplishments because you feel insecure about the issue

totally wrong im not bragging im saying we all good at something and as said before its a swinging site ie sex off what ever persons choice ??

Some people value how English is used though. That forms part of the way they make that choice. It's a swinging site but swingers are not all the same. We're regular people, not a different species.

Calling people stuck up for caring about things you don't think are important is not very nice. You don't like people judging you so why would you do the same?

Are you stuck up because you look down on people who can't change a wheel?"

True.

But those who do struggle don't deserve to have the piss taken. Particularly, those on here who don't have English as a first language don't deserve to be ridiculed.

I don't see any problem with it figuring in decisions who to meet though, if it matters to someone.

I don't disagree.

I'm in the stuck-up camp, apparently. I can change a wheel too though so I don't know if that makes me more stuck-up or less stuck-up.

I was trying very hard to be nice to the OP but being called stuck-up is wearing thin.

I appreciate good attention to detail, taking care and willingness to make an effort. Poor English demonstrates someone doesn't care about those things.

They're probably not on my wavelength.

But spelling and grammar are mainly gained through education - intelligence and education aren't the same thing

If they are using a spell checker then they're making an effort to get it right. If the spelling is right, it's not going to put those who care about spelling off. It doesn't matter how the spelling is right if it is.

Spell checkers can't usually manage grammar correctly though.

Ok, but I've made a spelling mistake which was pointed out earlier in the thread. Does that make me unintelligent?

I personally can't strip a car engine. I can't even cut a piece of wood straight. I have no desire to learn to do so. Maybe the OP doesn't have the desire to learn to spell, or correct grammar.

Spelling and grammar isn't necessarily a sign of intelligence, it indicates skills in the written word.

I'm sure you are very talented in your chosen specialism.

The reason grammar is deemed important, is that allows us to communicate and understand more effectively.

I don't suggest people should be ridiculed for poor grammar but it shouldn't be brushed aside as something only the stuck up need ?"

Spell checkers typically only spot spelling errors, and not grammatical or syntax errors. Just because things are spelled correctly, it doesn't mean the sentence makes sense.

There is no spell-checking tool here, so I know.

If someone, knowing perhaps that they have a problem with spelling, used an external tool then I would not know and would not need to know. They had gone to the trouble of correcting their mistakes. I would appreciate the effort.

People have explained why it matters to them. It's been pointed out that "swinger" isn't a different breed and we're not all the same.

Some people care about it. Calling them stuck-up won't change that and it won't make them agree to fuck you if you ask.

hank god we not all the same and please give your answer too the spell checker I would be very interested as too you determin if they can spell ?

I did answer. You still haven't actually answered mine though."

ok not sure which question you are referring too if its the shoot thing then all im trying too say I can mix with people off better education than myself and hold my head up high didn't meen too upset anyone but I just don't understand the diff between having sex and spelling god how would people get along in clubs well exuse me but before I fuck you can you spell or would they go on looks and think hell yea

I didn't ask if you can mix with upper class people though.

You called people who care about spelling stuck up. You made a comment apparently looking down your nose at people who can't change a wheel.

The question was are you stuck up for looking down at people who can't change a wheel?

Spelling has nothing to do with clubs. It is to do with how people present themselves *on here*. Some people have very poor English skills. That puts some other people off them, for various reasons that have been explained in this thread.

Technically anyone can have sex with anyone else. Do you think everyone should be willing to meet anyone and everyone just because they are capable of sex? We all have different criteria. For some, on here, communication in good English is important. For some it isn't.

Find the people that suit you, quit worrying about it. And quit calling people who do have good English skills stuck-up. We worked for those skills the same way that you worked for the skills you have.

But he expected to be respected for his skills because he worked for them at the same time as being rude about people who can spell well and who care about it. That's also a skill people worked for.

He can't have it both ways, expecting respect for what he can do and being rude about people who can do things he can't.

That's my issue with the posts.

I agree with a lot of what's been said otherwise, like people shouldn't be ridiculed for poor English.

I don't think badly of you, or anyone, because they can't spell. I use it as a guide we are different types of people and would probably not get on.

My only issue was you calling people who do care about spelling stuck-up.

If you expect everyone to be nice to you, you can't insult them.

at long last someone who understands about swinging "

What bothers me about this thread is that the OP is insistent that their views on swinging (that we are here for sex and not a spelling test) is the correct way to swing and all others must be wrong.

Clearly you judge on looks and do not factor in spelling, I respect that. However you should also respect that other people do judge on other factors and they are entitled to do so. It does not mean they do not understand swinging

For some of us, there is more to wanting to fuck someone than looks

There isn't one right way to swing.

The point is finding the people who want the same as you.

Telling everyone who doesn't like the same things you do that they are wrong and don't understand swinging is both ridiculous and patronising.

Brighton - even Hove!

When men ask for profile advice and they have spelling / grammar mistakes in their profile I point it out. They don't have to change anything if they don't want to but I always think 'why put up barriers to meets?' because for some, a poorly presented profile is a barrier. I think allowances are generally made for smart phone fumble fingers and dyslexia and not English as a first language etc.

But in a club environment those stating spelling matters wouldnt know if those they are sleeping with are good spellers, they might not find that out until they go look up the profile on here to verify.

So in that theory spelling doesnt matter

as they can . But it takes years of experience and some degree of education to be able to measure within a thousand of an inch and check . Also takes some degree of education to be able to check electrical and electronic circiuts . Takes skill to be able to hear a muktitude of different noises produced by an entire vehicle not just its engine and road noises that the untrained ear cannot work out . . Those untrained ears would likely describe a scrape as a squeal and a rummble as a rore . The noises are equally different thus have different meanings .

there are two types of people on FAB...

there are the people who couldn't give a toss about anything in particular, and in the grand scheme of things seem a whole lot more fun....

and then there are the spelling police! certain people whose sole aim in life is to educate others and point out their shortcomings in order to make themselves look better....but are intrinsically a bunch of wankers....

Don't see how maintaining what I've said is disingenuous. I still think it's stupid to say you're better than people just because you have skills that they don't. It may be patronising, but it's a childish stance in the OP.

as they can . But it takes years of experience and some degree of education to be able to measure within a thousand of an inch and check . Also takes some degree of education to be able to check electrical and electronic circiuts . Takes skill to be able to hear a muktitude of different noises produced by an entire vehicle not just its engine and road noises that the untrained ear cannot work out . . Those untrained ears would likely describe a scrape as a squeal and a rummble as a rore . The noises are equally different thus have different meanings . "

But I can do it...but I struggle with simple spellings and grammar,but I don't mock anyone who can not,even though I find it really easy.

"Most of us are guilty of a level of poor grammar, spelling or punctuation however I think it can be off putting when it's to a level that might as well be a different language"

Yup - which is why it is a question of context as with most things in life.

"this thread has got well out of hand

You don't think the OP was being rude unnecessarily by saying they can do a lot more than those who can spell? They're an insecure braggart.

I think he was more saying that his skills are elsewhere.

Why not say that then instead of saying they can do a lot more? Clearly they think they're better than people who can spell and communicate coherently.

Do you not feel that may be misconstruing what the op was trying to say? He's admitted his written communication is bad, therefore perhaps exploring what he means may have been better than leaping all over him?

No, I don't. He was questioned and still insisted he can do things better and that people who can spell are stuck up. When a point is reiterated again and again, it's pretty clear what the point is.

I think you're being a little disingenuous in taking his first post as you did. After all, your first post, post number 2 in the thread could be seen as rather high handed and very patronising.

However, the op has apologised so that should be the end of the matter."

Indeed, respect due to the OP for trying to clear the air.

I haven't read the whole thread just bit's of it

So ia am sorry if i am repeating things that have been said earlier !

I am dyslexic and i wasn't tested until my mid thirties, when I started a new job. Put it down to a victim of the 1970's crap education system. I am not bitter but I am resentful. I left school decided on a career choice and did night school for 5 years.

I now have a set of support strategies for dealing with written work.

A good spell and grammar check program on computers at home and work.

Several friends and family who will proof read important documents for me.

Obviously iIcant use them for my profile or posts on here

My dyslexia means I am very good at thinking out side of the box, problem solving and practical physical skill's, that my non dyslexic colleges either miss or do not recognise until they have to do them and struggle with , they then have to ask me in to do them.

I also have to be extra careful and precise writing my daily reports.

O/P could have worded his post better considering the topic but if he struggles with grammar and spelling. He could also struggle with formulating a post that can not be taken out of context. The written word can be very difficult to deal with an just because certain people have not mastered it , does not mean that they are stupid , thick or un-educated. It just means they are different and might have skills that are useful in other ways.

OP is an attention whore bordering on Troll, as well as illiterate.

Makes badly worded binary statement. Insults all who disagree. Displays inverted snobbery at perceived threats to his own insecurities. Boasts about his own superior skill set. Insults other posters and displays complete ignorance of his own insulting behaviour.

Finally apologises for misunderstood slights.

Classic troll behavior.
