"Must confess...bad spellers are off-putting for me.....unless English is not their first language then they are excused! Does anyone feel the same way?" From the amount of threads on this subject, no you're not the only one. Bad spelling / grammar doesn't really bother me but then I'm far from perfect myself in that department. | |||
"Must confess...bad spellers are off-putting for me.....unless English is not their first language then they are excused! Does anyone feel the same way?" I'm with you. But my spellchecker works as an enemy agent! You know, I'm sure if Douglas Adams was still alive he'd have written a brilliant book about the end of humanity all caused by a series of unfortunate events triggered by Spellchecker getting involved where it wasn't wanted. | |||

"Doesnt make me a bad person because im bad at spelling does it? " bloody hope not xxx | |||

"Doesnt make me a bad person because im bad at spelling does it? Yes horrible awful worst of the worst! "Im going to spank you vara!! | |||
"But not everyone in the world is perfect I had to learn to read and write after an accident 24 years ago and left me dyslexic so yes my grammar is not very good nor is my punctuation but spell checker is my friend lol and I like to think I'm a very nice guy all the same lol"  | |||

"Just curious and it obviously doesn't apply to phone users but when you see a red underline while typing doesn't it make one think that the word may be wrongly spelled? Then you right click and the correct spelling is the top option? Why does that not also apply to the dyslexic? Curious not judgmental question. " Because often their brain doesn't process words like the average person does... | |||

My spell check doesnt seem to work on fab at all xx | |||

"Must confess...bad spellers are off-putting for me.....unless English is not their first language then they are excused! Does anyone feel the same way?" many do and tell us regularly but its not going to change the terrible grammar and spelling/punctuation errors ,you will just end up getting frustrated ,chill       | |||
"Must confess...bad spellers are off-putting for me.....unless English is not their first language then they are excused! Does anyone feel the same way?" Many feel the same way. However i don't. I do love it if someone moans about others spelling etc but then make mistakes in either their profile or what they write on the thread lol | |||
"I don't really care about spelling, but bad "redneck grammar" is off putting...especially when combined with text speak... For example: I think I seen u in them forums n I thank you is real purty. Bleah. " Yes thats the type that puts me off. xx | |||

Then you right click and the correct spelling is the top option? Why does that not also apply to the dyslexic? Curious not judgmental question. " I know it's going off topic, but I saw a dyslexia researcher on TV saying that dyslexics don't have dyslexia if they are taught pictograms (like in Mandarin). I suppose it's really obvious but profound nevertheless. An incredible thing, the human brain. | |||

"honestly some of you on here, the way you judge and criticise those that may not spell everything that's in message NEED TO GET A FOOKIN LIFE Asking for a ban much?" Well he has a point, there are more things to life than stressing if someone call spell or not... | |||
"honestly some of you on here, the way you judge and criticise those that may not spell everything that's in message NEED TO GET A FOOKIN LIFE" Hell yeah, You go girl!! | |||

Because often their brain doesn't process words like the average person does..." Ok, but that still doesn't answer my question. It might if one was colour blind AND dyslexic. As it 'appens I've also noticed that the spell-check gives American spelling as in Colour=Color | |||
"Some do some dont. Some see beyond the typos. Some hate text speak. Its been debated alot. For me text speak puts me off but i dont mind bad spelling or typos, at all,my typings full of it." this | |||

"honestly some of you on here, the way you judge and criticise those that may not spell everything that's in message NEED TO GET A FOOKIN LIFE" the thing is, if you don't like or agree with the OP or with what people are posting, then you really don't have to comment.... simples | |||

"I try very hard to spell right being dyslexic I find that hard enough without trying to work out were full stops and commas should go . I am certainly not stupid and try really hard to be understood I hope that my points come across correctly xxxx "Do you find that many people are using your condition as an excuse for their own laziness ? | |||

"my pet hate is excessive use of emojis "Hahahaha I feel your pain.. | |||
Half the time I have no idea what it means. | |||
"Bad spelling doesn't buvver me but I h8 text spk , y do it ? U no watt I mean.
Half the time I have no idea what it means."What do they do with all the time they saved typing like that? lol | |||

"Bad spelling doesn't buvver me but I h8 text spk , y do it ? U no watt I mean.
Half the time I have no idea what it means.
What do they do with all the time they saved typing like that? lol "They used it thinking of how they could shorten the word in the first place lol | |||
But seriously, sometimes it does annoy me, but then i think to myself, i don't really know the other person, they could be dyslexic, so i give the benefit of doubt in their favour.
however, txt spk i hate with a passion | |||

"There are a more things to worry about in life than bad spelling "Totally agree with this | |||
"Must confess...bad spellers are off-putting for me.....unless English is not their first language then they are excused! Does anyone feel the same way?" Hmmm? No period termination at the end of your title. Malformed first sentence. Incorrect use of an Ellipsis. Twice. Exclamation is not needed after the word excused. But I think we all got your meaning. I feel perhaps it's more important to see the message rather than examine and be critical of the container it is in. | |||

"Must confess...bad spellers are off-putting for me.....unless English is not their first language then they are excused! Does anyone feel the same way?" Nope , not in the slightest . Some of our veris are not well written , but the people were awesome . And for us that's what matters - the people we meet . Some may not be the most literate , but we couldn't care less . Their company and the fun we had is what really matters . | |||
"Spelling is seperate from grammar. " *separate Sorry, couldn't resist! | |||
"Not breaking down a wall of text with full stops tends to grind our gears. Just get out of breath from reading it!" Do you read it out loud
As long as I can understand what is that is trying to be conveyed, then I don't have a problem with it. I don't like or use text speak apart from the occasional lol, but it wouldn't put me off meeting someone.
On here, I put ma instead of my, and yer instead of your, because that's how I speak. If I was writing an official letter I would spell and punctuate everything correctly | |||
so would a grammar Nazi, rather meet a man with a tiny cock, but excellent grammar?
When I read, its a reflex to read every word twice, otherwise it makes no sense, I find some configurations if letters difficult to spell (sense being one if them) and words with double letters in them, I never can remember if its two it one, the English language is full of pitfalls, and easy mistakes to.make, and when your brain doesn't process letters and words and numbers the same way as everyone else, and you have someone going all superior on you, its tiring, I would fund it much easier to type in text speak, I can type fast and easily that way, but I don't.
so next time you want to tell me about uncles wanking off on a horse or what ever you say.
not everybody cares, and in the grand scheme if things, its all of little importance | |||
"There are a more things to worry about in life than bad spelling "True, but I hate text speak. | |||

"People who don't use proper English-spelling and grammar-do not bother me in the slightest. Snobbery does; I don't like snobs,they bore me. " | |||
"honestly some of you on here, the way you judge and criticise those that may not spell everything that's in message NEED TO GET A FOOKIN LIFE" That would be A FUCKING LIFE. | |||
