It would be great if people had a quick read through the message before sending, to see if it makes sense. Spelling- I think most of us gets, eventually, pretty good at deciphering things. However, with grammar, the supposedly tiny mistake can completely change the meaning of the sentence. For example, using 'can' instead of 'can't'. Or maybe I'm just being really petty. |

But effort is what it is all about. Ladies complain when guys don't make an effort in their approaches.
As for not putting in ' in a word such as don't, it's just another keystroke! |

Yes, and when you write “fuck me now you wonderful bundle of love” the penmanship is faultless |

If we were perfect spellers, were always grammatically correct and our punctuation was spot on the grammar police would have feck all to feel superior about  |

"Spelling- I think most of us gets, eventually"
That should be singular 'get'. |

I agree, however grammatical errors I can live with. Text speak I cannot, people use dyslexia as an excuse. It's no excuse.
I'm dyslexic and don't have a problem. |

We won’t take it personally because she always writes “I don’t want to see you.” |

If you're going to moan about people's spelling and grammar you better make sure yours is 100%! |

As long as we can understand a message clear enough to communicate, we couldn't give a flying fuck about grammar. We're here to meet and hopefully "swing", not for an English lesson and to judge  |

If someone doesn’t care enough to spell check a message or understand the difference between ‘there’ and ‘their’ I really don’t want to entertain them. It’s very basic skills and off putting if they can’t even communicate coherently. |

Using the wrong word is not the same as bad grammar though, is it?
Swapping can for can't could lead to some very awkward moments such as 'you can put it in my ass' instead of you can't put it in my ass' 
BTW.... You totally can  |

Are you going to be communicating in writing when you meet them also? Some if the most intelligent people struggled with the written word. |

"Grammar: its the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit
Ha! I like that. I am unashamedly stealing that "
Just ensure you put an apostrophe in the ‘it’s’ or you’ll look like a massive bell end |
