Poor grammar and spelling

It doesnt matter how hot you are. Text speak, purposeful misspelling and terrible use of the English language is a real turn off.

Unless you're obviously not from an English speaking country, then it can be quite cute and endearing.

I can read that perfectly and probably better than if it was written properly, that's due to being dyslexic.

Personally I don't care if the spelling isn't correct or if a message is not grammatically correct.

I was taught that you're not very intelligent if you don't know at least a few different styles of communication and can spell a word in different ways yet still be understood. There is such a thing as corporate language conventions and they should never stifle the growth and diversity of language or hinder creative new ways to communicate. Afterall, it's how language was created anyway. Either you're a language creator or merely a user of canonised and corporate language. The latter does not demonstrate intelligence as much as it does the ability to conform and the inability to break free from convention. All languages are complex and require intelligence to learn and use.

I don't have a problem with spelling or grammatical mistakes. And obviously i don't include those with a reason, be it dyslexia or other.

There is even a place for purposeful misspelling. Wannabe Gansta spelling or text talk is to me a sign of a childish, lazy or even shallow mind and as i get older, conversation is increasingly more important with those i interact with. Even if the interaction is predominantly about sex. So no, I'm not about reading books but yes it is about interaction.

It is a swinging site so subtle difference if we're being pedantic.

I have an amount of give and take.

As others have said there is a difference between what are obvious .... text changes done by the phone and missed, where people have a genuine difficulty

and those who really give no thought and are lazy in their writing.

It does act as a bit of a filter because I want to spend time outside of the sheets with the people I meet as we all say we use the site in so many different ways.

Spelling mistakes are exactly that. A mistake. Not knowing how to spell a certain word. Again, no big deal. But blatantly shortening and making up words... i don't get it. And i don't understand why anyone would call someone self important or a twat because they prefer to use proper English rather than conversing like a 12 yr old.

I agree, a great reply and you're right. If all you're looking for is a quick meet, quick sex and quickly leave without any other form of communication. Personally I'd find that boring. I prefer something a bit more substantial. The company, the conversation, possibly a friendship and ofcourse the sex. But we're all different and we all want different things from a meeting.

Where in what you are looking for does written English take place ?

Plenty of people may not be grammatically sound with the written word , but are great conversationists , I know of a public speaker , and author , who is unable to spell correctly . She is great company despite the fact that she would fall foul of your requirements .

Genuine abbreviations are fine. I have several books on my shelves that include u and r and tmrw as part of their vocabulary. They're written by Byron, Shelley and others.

But at the same time i cringe at misuses of some words. They have different meanings so use them to say what you mean please. A recent example I saw was a woman seeking discrete men.

I have more than one dyslexic friend/aquaintance and unless they told you, you probably wouldn't realise. Anyone mistaking poor grammar or text talk as dyslexia, obviously doesn't understand dyslexia and underestimates the intelligence of sufferers and their ability to manage it.

I'm one of life's perfectionists and I take pride in how I present myself. Whenever I rewrite our profile I will check it over for errors about 10 times and will get Mr to check too. I will usually read over a message to someone we like about 3 times. And I frequently remove and rewrite forum posts when I realise there is a significant typo. I was never particularly good at spelling, but thankfully there are spell checks, so all good there. So considering how anally retentive I am about accuracy and good presentation, I'm unlikely to relate to someone who doesn't give a toss.

I'm dyslexic too. That was the easiest thing I've read in a long time. I think everyone should write like that. I don't think a person's ability to spell should be the bench mark you use to measure their intelligence. I think common sense and the ability to problem solve is a much more important sign of a person's intelligence. Getting hung up on spelling is a little OCD. Your only going to communicate with the written word for a short while... aren't you?

They didn't say they were discriminating against dyslexics. They said their issue was with text speak, purposeful misspelling and terrible use of the English language. Misspelling with dyslexics is accidental not purposeful and text speak has absalutely nothing to do with dyslexia. 'Terrible use of the English language' is not normally associated with dyslexia - dyslexia is more about getting letters muddled up. Why is it always assumed that when someone writes badly that they have a genuine difficulty? Many are more than capable of writing accurately but just don't think it's important to check over what they write. That can be a turnoff for those who do find presentation important.

No, they didn't say they were discriminating against dyslexics. I just wanted them to be aware that being from a non English language speaking country wasn't the only legitimate excuse for not being so hot on spelling and grammar. I agree that dyslexia is no excuse for poor use of the English language. Even though I struggle with my spelling and grammar, I do take a great deal of care to make sure that it is as grammatically correct as I can make it. Totally understand Why it is a turn of to some people. Unfortunately I grew up in an era where many assumed that being dyslexic meant you were thick So, I am a little defensive.

A point to bear in mind though, language and the way we speak, like everything else is evolving. Just like the words used and the writing style in a book from a hundred years ago is unfamiliar to us today, It is likely that it will be just as unfamiliar to us in a hundred years time.

A few people don't see a problem but for me its about first impressions. And for those saying the written word has nothing to do with sex then fine thats your view but the first impression and communication you are making on this site IS with the written word. If you communicate like a 12 yr old then to me you aren't making an effort. Its a turn off. Just as not having a shit shower and shave before a meet is not making an effort. Its a turn off.

"The use of language and grammar can be a useful additional filter. I do have a threshold, but then I can be more put off by what's in the background of pictures."

Yep I've seen pics from guys who have boxers strewn across the floor and socks. Even discarded pizza boxes. The funniest ones are those that are from "single" men in a bathroom full of family toiletries.

I'm attracted to intelligence more than looks, so grammar and spelling is a filter for me. However, I did that with one guy who just seemed to be a bit of an awkward speller. It wasn't until we went to have our first cam chat that he confesses that he was profoundly deaf. That would explain the spelling. If you've never heard the word said, you're not going to necessarily know if it's not spelt correctly.

I think correct punctuation is important, as it can totally change the meaning of something with exactly the same words. This, that I came up with soon after the slogan was introduced is a perfect example:

'Sky? Believe in better.'

Some people think that Arsene Wenger (or add football manager of your choice) should resign, others that he should re-sign, being the opposite.

It's amazing how often something as simple as a comma can make things a lot clearer, so I am all for correct grammar and punctuation personally. However, I only use poor English against those who I think are being twats and need taking down (and yes, I'm sure people think that about me at times!

)

"So what IS an acceptable reason for not wanting to have sex with someone?

Me Being me wood seem to be 1 of them lol

Serious thow...

It shoodount be over spelling.

I can't imagine refusing to meet someone purely because they use text talk. Especially if plenty other boxes were ticked. But in my opinion it is a terrible first impression.

If you'd said that in your OP the angry villagers (probably) wouldn't have got their rabid hounds and pitchforks out.

"I think correct punctuation is important, as it can totally change the meaning of something with exactly the same words. This, that I came up with soon after the slogan was introduced is a perfect example:

'Sky? Believe in better.'

Some people think that Arsene Wenger (or add football manager of your choice) should resign, others that he should re-sign, being the opposite.

I do sometimes miss out punctuation when I'm in a rush and quickly replying. I think thats another issue i have with text talk. It feels like the person hasn't got time to speak to you properly. You can tell they're capable so it feels like they're dismissing you when they reply.

"It doesnt matter how hot you are. Text speak, purposeful misspelling and terrible use of the English language is a real turn off.

Unless you're obviously not from an English speaking country, then it can be quite cute and endearing.

Common , be broad with your thinking capacity, grammar or the ability / inability to reproduce language in a written form doesnt make u any less human than anyone else so get a life

Mrs

Best to keep an open mind and also to accept what some people like an feel is important to them. Hallelujah spellcheck!

Otherwise my mucking fords would always be wuddled

A back peddle if ever there was one but hey ho.

Surely we all want people to make a bit of an effort?

Didn't write the the message starting "are you discriminating against dyslexic people"

Just letting my thoughts and opinions evolve. I agree about first impressions and am now feeling educated and enlightened as from where you are coming from.

Sorry that was aimed at aka longman.

The quoting system on this forum can get a little confusing

That's ok, I think you've touched a nerve for a lot of people though. I feel quite embarrassed about my spelling and punctuation skills at times and, when people have put bad spelling down it sounds like they are being a little bit superior. No one likes having their short cummings pointed out to them, which I guess is why people react that way. I understand where you were coming from though!

Touched nerves are great for debate. So long as i haven't damaged any or got on them too much

For what its worth I definitely don't think I'm in any position to point out anyone's mistakes. This was not about mistakes. Which is why i was careful to point that out in the OP.

"As a number of people have said, these issues bear no effect on someone's ability to fuck. That is indeed true - typos, misspelt words, no punctuation, no paragraphing, text speak (only one of which has anything to do with dyslexia) do not effect someone's ability to fuck. There are many other factors in a profile that also don't effect ability to fuck. The quality of someone's photos is an example. Photos with a messy bedroom in the background, or a picture of a cock next to a toilet, does not make any difference in someone's sexual prowess. But as human beings, we judge people by how they present themselves. Sloppiness, messiness, poor presentation etc is not an aphrodisiac. Same in face to face meets. How someone physically presents themselves does not effect their ability to fuck. But the reality is that someone who goes to a certain effort with their appearances is more likely to be considered sexually attractive. I have no issues with dyslexia. But sloppiness, laziness or poor presentation (which have nothing to do with duke us), whether in photos, the written word, how someone dresses or how someone speaks, I personally don't find attractive.

You don't have to have any of these things actually. Most of the guys I play with have a normal size cock, none look like a model and I've no idea if they have A'level English.

You're mostly all missing the point. Read the OP again. It's not ability to spell that's the issue. It's "PURPOSEFUL MISSPELLING" that is so annoying.

I do not believe anyone does not know how to spell a word such as "like" so why use "lyk"?
