If I can get the gist of a post or message despite the way some of the words are spelled, I'm fine. It's the ones that are unintelligible even after several tries that get me.
But hey, perhaps it means something to them. |

"Why can't people spell anymore. If I have a message or see bad spelling in the forum I won't even look at what it says. I hate bad spelling !!"
Or bad punctuation?  (just kidding)
Same here. But I have a spelling OCD so it affects me wherever I go. Absolutely hate seeing signs in shops with spelling mistakes!  |

I hate bad spelling too! Not knowing the difference between their, there and they're!
Maybe I need to get it in perspective - they don't need to spell while they're sucking my dick. |

Spell things wrong constantly . I do usually check my posts and messages but now and again errors slip through .
To be honest if someone doesn't want to meet me for my spelling mistakes says a lot more about them as it does me.

I'm not that much of a fan of poor spelling or grammar either but mostly at work. Forums are what they are and just because people can't spell well doesn't make them stupid. My Dad is a hopeless speller but he's smarter than most people I know. 
I'm less of a fan of whinging to be honest. |

Spelling incorrectly doesn't bother me too much, it's more the text talking (something I haven't done since school). I just don't see why people do it, to me it's just laziness, as adding a "y" and "o" to make "you" really isn't that difficult. |

Autocarrot is a bitch for changing correct spellings as you hit the send button. But there are some lazy people that don't even bother to check whether they have written off when it says of and make the same typographical error in perpetuity.
Just one example |

This used to bother me A LOT. I used to be a proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar pedant.
And then I read somewhere that that's a pretty abelist attitude to have - not everyone has had the privilege of education that I might've had, had the time and environment to put as much time into it, or had as much help to get it right.
And if I'm judging them on that, I'm being kind of a dick.
So, I believe I can be as strict on myself as I want, but I don't know the battles other people fight, so have no right dictating their lives. |

"Ever thought they could be dyslexic? "
Real dyslexics try hard to spell correctly. They are less likely to write "no" instead of "know" than lazy spellers. |

Actually, people who are dyslexic use a variety of coping mechanisms to get around the challenge of spelling. And some use an acoustically similar word that has a different (and often shorter and easier) spelling. Like substituting "know" with "no".
Talking about "real dyslexics" not only objectifies people with dyslexia, but also dismisses the spectrum that is dyslexia. |

It's often not down to just bad spelling, mostly it's text speak and pure laziness..and when people type quickly they tend to rush and make mistakes but these days a lot of phones have auto correct so there should be no excuses ...
People just need to slow down and check more then the spelling police won't get so wound up |

There is a spelling mistake right at the very beginning that my phone didn't correct,because it's an acceptable word in its dictionary. Believe me,I'm a lazy typer.

"I find people that nit pick at others spelling & grammar more annoying...."
I'm a bit of a pedant on this in normal life, simply because I used to spend much my working days helping others on their written skills.
I hope that doesn't spill over into Fab life. On the whole it doesn't matter at all. However, most often it's mentioned when guys are asking why they're having no luck. Some of the profiles are really hard to understand and it's probably a big reason why women skip to the next in a big pile of messages.
Personally, I think it's only being kind and helpful if that's pointed out constructively.
Actually, it's probably punctuation that's the bigger issue. The lack of full-stops, commas and paragraphs makes it hard work sometimes. A readable profile is a must, I imagine.
Having written this, I utterly paranoid there are mistakes in it. No time to proof-read though |

I don't disagree with you, if I can't read a profile or a message I've been sent then I don't persue any further.
To feel inferior though when posting on a public forum because your spelling / grammar isn't as good as another's (for whatever reason) to me is a different matter. |

Completely agree - forum posts and profiles are completely different scenarios.
I'd like to think badly-written profiles and personal messages wouldn't bother me if I was a woman. However, if you get 50 messages, it stands to reason that the ones which are more easily read and understood are likely to get more attention.
I got that sum wrong - I made it minus something

not right out no . But some of tge comments and replies are as insultive as fuk . That person may like previousy said have dyslexic
that person may have bullied at school from the age of just coming out of nappies till secondary school which prevented them going and reaching the potential the biggets and small minded people on here expect to see
those people have feelings aswell
i find it fuking bullying to put anyone down because of there spelling
its vile and nasty
and those people in my opinion are the scum of this earth |

Not enough for people to pull people up about it. Text talk is something else to me but as long as I can read it then it's all good.
However schools seem to be taking spelling seriously now. My youngest gets 2 spelling tests a week plus surprise ones x luckily she hasn't inherited my lack of spelling and is fantastic at it .. makes me very proud x |

Auto correct is sometimes a fucker for messing up sentences that should make sense into jibbering but sometimes amusing rubbish.
As an example was talking to someone on WhatsApp last night and I mentioned a film with Dolph Lundgren (auto correct changed his name to dolphins Lundgrem). |

There are quite a few things on Fab that annoy me. Can't say that bad spelling, punctuation and grammar are on my list. It certainly wouldn't put me off meeting/chatting to someone.
Then I'm far from perfect myself!

"Why can't people spell anymore. If I have a message or see bad spelling in the forum I won't even look at what it says. I hate bad spelling !!"
My spelling is pretty good most of the time but I have a strong visual recognition of the way words should look. Not everyone has this and many people are dyslexic, so auto correct is no help. Having said this, I think auto correct has a lot to do with poor spelling anyway. People don't take time to check and see if their message says what they want it to. I am always more drawn to an original, articulate and well spelt message. Even so, if the technical content of a message is flawed, but the content is heartfelt, I will still reply. I can spell, but there are many things I can't do. We all have our strengths. |

Well i know im.not an english teacher of any sort and there are some words i may not spell entirely correctly but most i can.
Anyway me being the genuinley kind caring individual i am . If anyone thats not as good a speller as i ever needs help on spelling the correct words im curtious enough to lend a hand rather than slate and publicly humiliate
i mean what does it really say about those that do put the people down ?
Depression is likely as important a factor as being dyslexic
shame on those that have no decency

"do people actually take offence when criticised on a message board ?
am honestly not bothered what people say or think , perhaps it's just me  "
im.not offended myself about myself.
I just feel for those that actually do have real troubles spelling, or knowing about grammer.
Help them rather than slate them.
Find out if they are maybe dyslexic or have some sort of learning or behavourial or interaction difficulty.

"Ever thought they could be dyslexic?
I am!
It is just one of the side effects of being a manic depressive (another is being promiscuous) and I am quite sensitive about both!
As a result I am very open about the second and use a spell checker to cover the first!
Dyslexia a side effect of Bipolar? I've never heard that before - could you tell me where you got that information? (genuinely interested)."
Read up on all the symptoms of Bi polar disorder... You will be quite amazed! LoL (I use a spell checker as it make me more intelligible!) |

I'd be more amazed if I looked up bipolar and it told me dyslexia was a side affect |

Depressive disorders make some people have little concentration and ability or willingness to learn and feel comfortable . So yes . Bi polar WILL effect certain individuals grammer and spelling |

By-product
Associated Condition
And so on........

I'm not sure your following what I'm saying. Dyslexia is a condition, it doesn't just affect spelling. It's an actual condition.
I have never ever heard of this as being a symptom of bipolar. I am interested and curious so I can look at the research. |

Perhaps there would be less misinterpretation and maligned semantics if there was more care taken with the written word.
There is only one small difference between-
Let's eat Grandma.
And
Let's eat, Grandma.
There is one hell of a difference in meaning.

"You clearly know very little or understand anything about depression or you are just trying to look impressive and prove you know everything "
reread what I wrote. I have never heard of it, I want to read about it, where wanting to find, read, and understand information is proving I know everything is beyond me.
All I'm after is where to look up the research and you start and your not even the guy I'm talking to |

It's not. He's wrong.
Dyslexia and Bipolar Disorder are two distinct, completely different conditions.
A person may have neither, one or the other or both. In the cases where a person has both, they are not connected. |

If you're looking for this mythical connection between Bipolar Disorder and Dyslexia, don't waste your time. They aren't connected. |

I know there not and you know there not. I was told to look up symptoms of bipolar and it would be there.
But no I'm accused of being a know it all and no nothing about depression cause I thought it may be some research that has come out very recently |

Nope.
It was a theory considered about 8 years or so ago, maybe more. It was mostly related to early onset bipolar, (i.e. the emergence of bipolar symptoms in children). No viable research or conclusions were ever produced that I know of. |

Iv just read up slightly on this and there has not been any substantiating evidence that theyre are or are not connected
Being depressed can how ever be linked to a persons inability to spell correctly or have the settled feeling and willingness to learn

They are not connected. If dyslexia were a side effect or symptom of bipolar disorder then nearly everyone with bipolar disorder would be dyslexic, which they aren't.
Dyslexia is a condition in its own right and is more than just not being able to spell well or having difficulty learning.
Calling every inability to spell well dyslexia is like calling every sniffle 'flu and like calling feeling sad occasionally depression.
It's insulting to people who actually do have dyslexia. |

Theyre all issues related to the brains function
wether a person whos dyslexic or not my point is its a very shallow act for another human being to slate someone on something that may be far beyond there own control |

Good written communication is important to me. I wouldn't criticise someone's spelling and grammar on a forum, but it is something that I will take into account from their messages in decide whether to bother meeting them.
Feel free to avoid me for being judgemental, stuck up or all the other phrases tossed about above.

"If I can get the gist of a post or message despite the way some of the words are spelled, I'm fine. It's the ones that are unintelligible even after several tries that get me.
But hey, perhaps it means something to them."

"I keep forgetting being able to spell means you aint a far out nutter that cant be trusted or have no purpose or very little "
No one has said that, at least I haven't. But I've found I have enjoyed myself much more when I've met people where their written communication was good and got me interested from the start. If they're not, or they don't care enough to use a spell checker or try, then they're unlikely to get my attention.
I'm shy in real life, so my face to face communication is not that great. I make a really big effort to overcome that when I meet someone. If someone's written communication is poor, I think they should make an effort to overcome that too. If they don't want to, that's fine, just don't expect me to be interested. |

if the dodgy spellers are unlikely to get your attention and you only meet the Shakespeare's out there how can you compare the two?

Because I didn't start out being as bothered about it so have met plenty of dodgy spellers before. And we generally had nothing to say to each other and nothing in common which didn't make for good meets. So these days I stick to my guns on this one. |

I agree with you so I'll join you in the stuck-up, judgemental section. I heard they have champagne and cake. |

Using a spell checker putting is on an act? I see it as knowing you're not naturally good at it, so doing something to overcome that.
I'm not naturally pretty, so I put on makeup to overcome that. It's not putting on an act, it's improving how I present myself to the world. |

I do not discriminate between those that can spell and construct a decent sentence, and those that cannot.
There is no difference in the sexual performance of the two camps but I find the former make for far better company pre and post coitus. |
