You should be encouraged and supported. | |||

"Yes it does. I receive written applications for work most weeks, poorly written one's with bad grammer and spelling are filed in the bin. Good spelling and grammer tells me everything I need to know about a person, just as much as their personal appearance and cleanliness. " Realy? Absolootely evrything? | |||

Are you saying it looks good? The opinion will be whether or not you think it is important, but it is fact that adults who speak English as a first language who cannot string a sentence together looks bad. | |||

"Does the quality of spelling in a message or forum post change how you _iew the respondent? Example: using u not you, wnt not want, coz not because etcetera. Or people who just cannot spell at all?" Not on the forums but yes in a message is rule of thumb. The forums its off the cuff and more rapid so as long as people can read it its fair game though text speech is lazy not spelling. In a message it 100% counts with most so check it twice. | |||

"It used to bother me. Now it doesn't bother me at all. It's the content that matters. ![]() ![]() ![]() I agree. I can ignore the fact that someone chooses to use text-speak, or has poor spelling and grammar, if I still find them to be engaging. It's those that simply do not make an effort to write even one sentence in their messages that I find hard work to continue maintaining an interest in. Continuous messages of very few words will leave me cold. | |||

"Text speak ahhhhh one of my pet hates!! Typos I can live with -we are all human after all, but bad English is a major turn off for me." Typos, the occasional mistake. Never a problem. But something which is so sloppy as to resemble something a blind, chimpanzee would have written whilst wearing boxing gloves is pointless to me. And before anyone mentions dyslexia - I've had messages from guys with dyslexia and their messages were fine. I've met a few of them. Perfectly articulate and intelligent guys. | |||

"Maybe I am just old and grumpy....but it DOES bother me. I can tolerate the occasional 'lol' (I do it myself) but when the entire message is text speak and no grammar. ..I lose interest quickly. If someone is dyslexic that's different but most people admit to me they use text speak because they are lazy. That just tells me we wouldn't be compatible because they aren't willing to make any effort. " I never use text-speak, I think to do so is quite naff. But that's not to say I'll disregard someone else who does. If there's a mutual liking for each other I'd consider myself churlish to not engage with them. I've an intense dislike for cats, the colour red, and smoking. If I were to bring all my preferences to the fore I'd be greatly reducing the numbers of people with whom I could enjoy engaging with. On the occasions where something someone writes causes me to actually laugh, I tell them that in full. Sad, but true. ![]() | |||

"Does the quality of spelling in a message or forum post change how you _iew the respondent? Example: using u not you, wnt not want, coz not because etcetera. Or people who just cannot spell at all?" It matters massively to me, and I know people won't like this but bad spelling is a massive advertisement for their intelligence level and I really can't be doing with thick people, the odd spelling mistake is acceptable but some people can't even manage the most basic words. That said... although I wouldnt marry a thick girl it wouldn't stop me sticking my cock in their mouth. | |||

"Spelling on its own, no. In fact typos and predictive text can be humorous. Text speak, writing as one speaks, poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation collectively does cause a certain assessment, not of the person per se but of the person in relation to what I'm seeking." This! It was the well written, humorous first message that enticed me to meet my now boyfriend. Irony is, English is his SIXTH language! | |||

"no..." View, I was taught that an ellipsis (known to the great unwashed as "dot-dot-dot") should have a space either side and is used when missing out some words or to indicate a pause. Personally I don't use the space either side and am consistent in that regard, therefore I will be able to consider speaking to you at the social...

"proper spelling is a good habit to get into, no matter what fora you are using, simply because, when you then need it for an official purpose, you are less likely to use the shortened version/americanisms or poor spelling/grammar" I hate to be a pedant but it is "which a Forum" ![]() | |||

"It should not matter. I can not spell and have a poor under standing of gramma I own and run my company and employ around 45 people, my ability to do this is me not whether I can put pen to paper. X. Stop being so judgemental. ![]() Part of my work involves specifying products from other manufacturers for various applications. Knowing that once specified, the sales people I deal with shall need to interface with my colleagues and I in very detailed and technical discussions. If said person can not write a submission in clear language then the impression they give of their company to be professional and knowledgable is tainted seriously. If they have no reason not to have learned grammar and spelling, then why would they have bothered to learn the much more complex engineering? Communication is a vital skill and those who choose not to bother with it appear unprofessional and lazy. | |||

"Maybe I am just old and grumpy....but it DOES bother me. I can tolerate the occasional 'lol' (I do it myself) but when the entire message is text speak and no grammar. ..I lose interest quickly. If someone is dyslexic that's different but most people admit to me they use text speak because they are lazy. That just tells me we wouldn't be compatible because they aren't willing to make any effort. " ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"seriously? judging from some of the comments, you'd think we are all here to apply to be the next prime minister or something! I can't understand why some people are so bothered by the way a message is worded, text speak or no text speak, surely its about the content/ context of the convo and what they look like? after there has to be some visual attraction as well as reasonable social skills, but not about how the message may have been composed with correct spelling etc. If people decided not to meet me because I typed oic laterz. its fine with me, no great loss really. chillax x" ![]() ![]() | |||
