That one ia kind of wrong what i dont get is folk who get their knickers in a twist over spelling and punctuation.
All the punctuation is on seperate pages and a phones keyboard is very small more folk should accept whats written if they understand it rather than being asshole grammar nazis  |

From a foreigner's point of view, it is very frustrating to read people who don't use English properly. We don't know whether we don't understand because of our English or yours
Honestly, sometimes I've seen that I have a better grammar than people on here  |

Still awaiting her reply after months later  |

We all have our individual dialects and choice of words and it's not a bad thing at the end of the day. Many people message exactly they way they speak face to face |

and therein lies the problem some believe because they use a comma they are better than others. Its the elitist mentality some have.
If its an official document then i would lay it out accordingly.
For a forum post on the internet im not scrolling through multiple pages or getting a spyglass out to check everything.
so yeah if folk have a problem then grammar nazis is how i see them.

So it's a design/manufacturing fault that causes you to be a lazy ass? I mean, how dare anyone make a keyboard that's over two or more pages!!
The use of grammar is a basic level thing. . . |

Bad spelling does annoy me, but I'd take that over the common way that some people speak, really sets my teeth on edge. I try to ensure the children in my life speak properly and have good manners |

A girl i once knew would have loved this post.
Can't remember what her fab name was..i do recall her being blind though..
Ah her name was ..:'::-"*:
Lovely girl, gorgeous, sweet, big tits..anyway!! she had this machine that could retype peoples messages into brail. A few times she did get a message that was way out of any context she had ever encountered. One especially i recall she told me about..
"I'm going to fuck your cat with my big cook" which did engage arguments in her place of employment with senior staff and kitchen members. Nobody would indeed touch her dearest little four legged furry friend. How dare they indeed send such horrific words to her she shouted at them constantly. So for ..:'::-"*:
sake/sanity could we all write properly.
Regards.

I wouldn’t say I’m anywhere near a grammar Nazi, and there’s loads of Scots colloquialisms I love and ‘youz’ myself (couldn’t resist )
There are words and phrases that drift in and out of fashion, and are used by lots of folk for a short while and then become yesterdays terminology.
Take for example ‘pure’, which became increasingly popular as a superlative a few years back (thank you rab c nesbitt and Elaine c Smith  ) I’m sure many of us have exclaimed that something was ‘pure brilliant, or pure dead brilliant at least once.
However, when I asked my nurse how she got on in her national exam, and she says “Brilliant! I pure answered every question” (what the actual fuck does that even mean??) Then I think I’ve had enough of that word |

Thanks, agree with your comments too. Language is a growing expressive thing so using text, abbreviations or slang can add nuance and humour but as Doggy said there’s knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit
However there’s the block and delete functions for messages and one does not need to engage with any individual here if they don’t wish to.
I’d like to point out that correct punctuation can save lives as in the following example though...
“Let’s eat Grandma!” As opposed to “Let’s eat, Grandma!”

If someone asks
‘How are use’ or ‘How are yous’
then our reply is ‘Weez are good but yous are not what we’re looking for’ .
We wouldn’t be meeting them. Not elitist we just don’t want to hang out in real life with people who would use that language so why should we on a swingers site. |

It’s not elitist to prefer a bit of intelligent articulate conversation from prospective playmates, after all the brain is the largest sexual organ in the body |
