how many would turn a meet down due to spelling mistakes... a doubt anyone would yet theres thread after thread complaining.. ffs get real". It depends on the reasons for the poor spelling and how many mistakes there are . Spelling is important and is a perfectly valid reason for turning down a meet . | |||

"i find it odd that on a sex site someone would cast aside a person due to their spelling, ever thought they may have a learning disabilty? english is not their first language, any of you freedom fighters of the the enlgish language meet abroad and get fucked off as your spelling of their native tongue is not upto scratch" . However you can generally tell if someone has learning difficulties or if English is not their first language . When abroad , people in France will realize that French is not my native tongue . | |||

"I just find it bizarre people can judge someone over text, despite finding someone attractive. It's not a fucking job interview, it's not a fucking essay being marked by an examiner... If a little mistake here and there can make someone think another person is 'stupid' or 'lazy'(that is the implication really isn't it!), why not prove your theory by speaking to the person..it is a much better connection than reading typing..which in itself is just a form of cyber-communication." No more bizarre than judging someone by hair colour, size of tits, body size etc. It's a preference, not a preference that matters to you, but perfectly understandable that it matters to others. For goodness sake just accept that some people have different sensibilities to you. It doesn't make them bizarre or police or nazis. | |||

The same threads on grammar and spelling have been continuing for many a year. Every time it degrades people into either being 'lazy, or thick'. I think it shows more about the grammar/spelling nazi's ability to effectively communicate with others at all levels. I've worked in many areas where I've seen barriers to communication being a challenge, I would never make the assumption that someone would be thick or lazy.. I've met a lot of people over the years..face to face communication or orally(on the phone I mean), if I had sat here examining every written communication I might see a few errors here and there..would it matter?..probably not, we met..we had fun. So yes i find it a bit bizarre essentially meeting a stranger on the internet(that you have a sexual interest in),but then think they wont be for you because of spelling and grammar?- As I suggested..would it be a huge harm to actually engage vocally with someone since they already have your sexual interest peaked? | |||

As the post is about the importance of spelling , it is rather strange that someone should use it to list the number of meets that they have had over an eight month period, which would apear to be one per day . Assuming that the information supplied is correct , it would tend to indicate that you must be spending at least ninety minutes per day either arranging or going to meets. Would you be happy if your children were unable to spell correctly ? If you wish to achieve things in life , spelling will be important to most people .. | |||

"There's no point getting wound up by the spelling police on the forums . We have met and played with 285 wonderful men , women , couples and tv's in 8 months on here and don't have a clue or a care on their spelling ability . Interestingly we have yet to play with anyone as a direct result of the forum either ..... . As the post is about the importance of spelling , it is rather strange that someone should use it to list the number of meets that they have had over an eight month period, which would apear to be one per day . Assuming that the information supplied is correct , it would tend to indicate that you must be spending at least ninety minutes per day either arranging or going to meets.
Would you be happy if your children were unable to spell correctly ? If you wish to achieve things in life , spelling will be important to most people .."There is no if , that is the correct amount if meets . The reason for using this number was to highlight how many people don't give a thought to how well one can spell . One per day is not a correct assumption as we have multiple meets when we do go out . Not that it matters , but there we are . As to whether we are concerned about whether our children will be able to spell properly . It's hard to see why this is relevant but here goes . Since we have our own business there will be ample scope for our 8 year old to join it if that's what he wants , whether he is a good speller or not . What would be more relevant would be his ability to communicate and integrate with all members of society . We hope on a level that doesn't put him on some high and mighty pedestal , thus ostracising him from finding wonderful,people to share his life with . | |||

"i find it odd that on a sex site someone would cast aside a person due to their spelling, ever thought they may have a learning disabilty? english is not their first language, any of you freedom fighters of the the enlgish language meet abroad and get fucked off as your spelling of their native tongue is not upto scratch. However you can generally tell if someone has learning difficulties or if English is not their first language . When abroad , people in France will realize that French is not my native tongue . " How do you tell if someone has learning difficulties? I'm interested in your views. | |||

"Can we quit it with the dyslexia chat? I don't think there's a person on here who would mistake spelling errors for the kind of misspelt words we're talking about. The examples below have nothing to do with dyslexia (which affects written language more extensively), but are very specific and common mistakes which grate on myself and others, whether by poor spelling or punctuation: Your/you're Lose/loose They're/there/their. It's/its I would imagine that these few examples alone account for more than 50% of my irritation. Excluding typos (which I am regularly responsible for), those who have a dyslexic condition and those for whom English is not their first language, I don't understand how someone can get to adulthood and not have gotten to grips with things like this. Assuming English is your first language, you've spoken it since day one. You've read it. You've written it. EVERY. DAMN. DAY. There's not one of us who isn't bombarded with a daily dose of correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. Books, magazines, newspapers, the web, movie credits and subtitles, etc. The list is endless. I'm genuinely puzzled as to how year upon year in a person's life can go by, with all this perfectly written English being passively absorbed by the brain, yet still that brain doesn't manage to reproduce it when the time comes for its owner to write or type. After decades of this, I would've expected some kind of passive absorption to happen. Even without trying, a human being does learn when things simply don't look as they should, through pattern recognition if nothing else. I'm not making a pointed attack on any one person here, nor any particular comment. I've already expressed my irritation at the errors discussed, which I am happy to accept others won't and shouldn't give a toss about. I'm just simply baffled as to how an adult with good eyesight can wind up unable to communicate correctly in their primary (and possibly only) spoken language." .

It's not hard to get the jist of what people are getting at in a message no matter how bad the spelling or grammar is.

"We have been on here for over 4 years now and have seen it a lot of the time where people come across as thinking they are better than others because of spelling and grammar. Well done if you have managed to find a way of u understanding grammar with dyslexia. Unfortunately a lot of people have not been recognised as having dyslexia during education so have had to do there best to understand. Dyslexia is a learning diffuculty with a large spectrum so there is many variations and degrees of severity to it. I understand that people need to have filters as we use some filters when selecting meets but I do think when it comes to spelling and grammar people should be slightly flexible. Like I said earlier a message in txt speak where it looks like a 13 year old has messaged there mate is different. | |||

For goodness sake just accept that some people have different sensibilities to you. It doesn't make them bizarre or police or nazis. My point exactly!
Lots of judgement, condemnation and bullying in my view from someone who should know better! I bet he would be the first to scream intolerance, yet shows little for other peoples preferences.
always best to say who you are talking about.
I've argued since about spelling/grammar forums threads since I started on them.
I say the same thing when I see the comments about professional people seeking professional people..
All I ever have pointed out is that people might just want to take a closer look at who they slag off or belittle...and then assume that the said person might have some IQ problem that sets them worlds apart from another person.
That in itself shows me there are some people..who actually do think theyre above a lot of people...so..in my opinion...fuck them.
There are thousands of people worthwhile meeting up with, half the battles sorted if you find them attractive..though like yourself, if you find someone who might not have that educational uppage or equality on you, why not adapt yourself and have fun?
nahh...too easy that...just sit back behind the screen and say you definitely wont be sexually interested in that person, even if they sat beside you and charmed themselves into your heart(or fanny)
instead we have utter tripe about people who would probably be lazy in bed, or not good in bed..blahh fucking blah..year in year out..same pish."I was unaware that anyone was looking down on people that are unable to spell. We all make choices in life , whether it is based on looks , presentation , age , achievements , intelligence or a wide number of other factors . Freedom of choice has nothing to do with looking down on people , it is merely a personal preference . With reference to education , the reality is that better educated people will probably have much greater choices in life as they will tend to earn more and achieve more things . Whether this is fair or not is a difference issue , but choices in life have to be made on reality . | |||

"I just find it bizarre people can judge someone over text, despite finding someone attractive. It's not a fucking job interview, it's not a fucking essay being marked by an examiner...

It's not the preference as such it's the way there preference is put across. | |||

"Can we quit it with the dyslexia chat? I don't think there's a person on here who would mistake spelling errors for the kind of misspelt words we're talking about. The examples below have nothing to do with dyslexia (which affects written language more extensively), but are very specific and common mistakes which grate on myself and others, whether by poor spelling or punctuation: Your/you're Lose/loose They're/there/their. It's/its I would imagine that these few examples alone account for more than 50% of my irritation. Excluding typos (which I am regularly responsible for), those who have a dyslexic condition and those for whom English is not their first language, I don't understand how someone can get to adulthood and not have gotten to grips with things like this. Assuming English is your first language, you've spoken it since day one. You've read it. You've written it. EVERY. DAMN. DAY. There's not one of us who isn't bombarded with a daily dose of correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. Books, magazines, newspapers, the web, movie credits and subtitles, etc. The list is endless. I'm genuinely puzzled as to how year upon year in a person's life can go by, with all this perfectly written English being passively absorbed by the brain, yet still that brain doesn't manage to reproduce it when the time comes for its owner to write or type. After decades of this, I would've expected some kind of passive absorption to happen. Even without trying, a human being does learn when things simply don't look as they should, through pattern recognition if nothing else. I'm not making a pointed attack on any one person here, nor any particular comment. I've already expressed my irritation at the errors discussed, which I am happy to accept others won't and shouldn't give a toss about. I'm just simply baffled as to how an adult with good eyesight can wind up unable to communicate correctly in their primary (and possibly only) spoken language.. An excellent and well written post .. Instead of agreeing with posts which actually have nothing to do with the original question , how about a comment on our answer to your post ? If this were a site which was here to help people to spell , and to get a better understanding of English grammar , I would agree that the above was indeed an excellent , well written post . But since it is a swinging site , I would suggest it's still well written , but pointless post that has no relevance to the site . Other than to allow the poster to feel good about his clearly superior understanding of the English language . If that gets him meets , I take it back that it's irrelevant , but personally I doubt it will . " How would you know that the poster wrote the post in order to feel good .? That is an assumption which you have made . He may have an interest in language and wished to comment . Members will make posts for a wide variety of reasons and I fail to see the logic that the post to which you refer was made in order to feel good. | |||

Come and live my life and then you (might) understand how it all works. I am dyslexic and also an avid reader ( i suposedly absorb lots of correct spelling) but i still get things wrong so your theory is wrong | |||

"I'll keep my mind open thanks..to those that dont spell/punctuate that well and to those that do.. and treat the person as a person, whom I might have fun times with, rather than sit behind my screen examining things. attractive pics to me , decent chat- what do I have to lose?" Totally agree , and how someone bases who they will have fun with based on correct spelling and grammar is way beyond me . Still as others have suggested , it works both ways . If someone's criteria is to correct every grammatically incorrect message , they probably wouldn't be our cup of tea . Perhaps fab could add spelling as a preference to save humiliation for the poor spellers ? | |||

It's fine having a personal preference but the way it is put across on the forums about spelling and grammar most of the time does come across as people are looking down there nose at others who struggle. It's not the preference as such it's the way there preference is put across." Exactly this.  | |||

Would you also say it was humiliating for people to select whom they wish to meet using criteria such as looks , age , social status , and quality of pictures ?. If we wish to help people to succeed in life , the use of correct spelling and grammar should be encouraged. In the example referred to , the poster still sits behind his screen examing profiles , the only difference being that he is looking at different aspects of them.. | |||
