Seriously though, I view the forums as a sort of pub conversation - mistakes happen, slang is expected, etc.
Messages and profiles however, are less transient and therefore can legitimately be held to a higher standard.
Unless there's a boob pic. | |||
"I'm not a grammar snob nor perfect at English myself but has to be said the level of the written word on here has a lot to be desired. Far too many abbreviations and lack of commas, full stops and capital letters... Do you think we're all losing the will to spell and form sentences correctly or is it just the symptom of the texted word simplifying things?" Um for me I use tx speak as it's easier an if u don't like it don't comment on such page!I hate spelling an I'm rubbish at it! But this is not bout spelling an grammar it's bout sex- sexual encounter. Spelling an grammer police out as they av nothing better to do omg | |||

"I hvae haerd taht if you wirte the coerrct letetrs but not nessaccerily in the rgiht odrer taht msot poelpe raeidng qiukcly hadrly noitce. Not sure if that's true?" Well I read it just fine. Eerie!  | |||

"I don't care about spelling or punctuation. I can do it all correctly when I chose to, but there isn't a need to do that here ... some people come across as pedantic, detailed, rule bound and the sort who fold their clothes .... doesn't add up to a sense of fun for me. I use it as a filter: if you are so concerned about spelling and grammar, you are not for me" ^^ This. While perfect spelling and grammar may seem important to some it's quite trivial in the grand scheme of things. I tend to get the curse of autocuntrect sometimes but I never proof read my post before I send it as my time is better spent. | |||

A well written message that engages will always be responded to. That's how I ended up with my other half, the antithesis of what I was looking for. However, I don't feel the need to pull people up on their spelling: why make people feel bad? | |||

Wot R U on about M8, it's a sex site for fking people with your pencil not giving them some paper for writing a spelling test XXX | |||

"Dont think it really matters to be fair ...it is a sex site ..not open university ..." ...to you! Personally, I like to communicate with people I fuck. If I need a Rosetta Stone to decipher the message I lose interest. | |||

It's tragic Op, agree with you 100% What the fuck is going on in these forums?!?!? ffs! | |||

"Not in the slightest bit bothered by poor spelling or grammar . We are simply here to have fun "Amen! | |||

"If you don't like how people spell or talk then move on....simple. This is an adult site not school there are more important things in life than pulling people down cause of there spelling. Grow up! X" Its just the old Fab cliché that explains it. It's their preference to not like those with poor english. They comment ......... because they can!! (Hands up if you have seen those explanations before) | |||

"Does it matter to me on the forums? No, I'll just skip their posts if I find them difficult to read. Does it matter to me when I'm arranging a hookup? Yes, it totally does. I really enjoy textual stimulation and poor spelling and 'txt spk' can get in the way of me enjoying that. It's no longer sexy if I have to work hard to translate - unfortunately." You've saved me having to compose such a post | |||
Ps. Im, christopher, walken today, and funny, comma comma comma comma chameleon | |||

"Some people are bothered by it, some people aren't. I for one am, but ignore it if I see it, whether it's a forum post or message. It doesn't matter who the man is, what he looks like if he messages me, " hey bbe wuu2 ur pics r gr8" then he's getting deleted! The amount of text talk I've had to google so I understand it, is truly shocking. I rarely used it when I was a teenager, so I'm not going to use it now. So people are aware, there's a difference between text talk and someone being dyslexic." Let's hear it for the I ams . Some people write how they speak - it's an excellent filter for meets but I ignore it in the forum. | |||

"I have more important issues to worry about!!" | |||

"I took the OP's question to mean in a much broader sense of whether we can be bothered to construct proper sentences when a large proportion of us only ever communicate via a touch screen keyboard? Is written English a dying art? Does abbreviation of language lead to abbreviation of thought? That might be a little too deep for this time of a morning..... NE1 wanna fuk? " Is that the start of a postcode? | |||
"The shit I got from the trolls when I raised the spelling issue was a disgrace " Suppose it's how you critical you are in your op and who starts it of course! | |||
"The shit I got from the trolls when I raised the spelling issue was a disgrace " I would like to know your definition of trolling, as I think it differs from what most people think it is!! | |||

If it is vaguely on topic, then it's relevant. I haven't even red the posts, to be honest .... but this isn't a definition of trolling. That is something much more serious .... | |||

"Poor spelling/grammar/text language in the forums doesn't bother me, but if someone messages me with poorly spelt wording etc, especially on a first message where they are trying to get my attention, then I know they aren't for me. I enjoy mental stimulation as well as great sex. If I have to decipher what they are saying to me, then it takes away the enjoyment. I appreciate people have dyslexia, and I can tell the difference between dyslexia and bad/lazy spelling and grammar. " Many thanks and i do try to get it right, but spend my life focusing on the concept and the idea ahead of the spelling of them. | |||
" its easy too install a spell checker on your pc they all have them . "Yes but will it work in these chatrooms and messages? I also mainly use my phone. I would be happy to use one, however my experience of them (considerable being dyslexic) is that they only help about 70% of the time. Some are set for Amarican English and some sites are set in Amarican English to add to the "fun"! Advice on one that works in here greatfully recived. | |||

"The English language is very complex We'll begin with box, and the plural is boxes; But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes. Then one fowl is goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? The cow in the plural may be cows or kine, But the plural of vow is vows, not vine. I speak of my foot and show you my feet, If I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth, and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? If the singular is this and the plural is these, Why shouldn't the plural of kiss be named kese? Then one may be that, and three may be those, Yet the plural of hat would never be hose; We speak of a brother, and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. The masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine she, shis, and shim! So our English, I think, you all will agree, Is the craziest language you ever did see. I take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough and dough? Others may stumble, but not you, On hiccough, thorough, slough, and through? Well done! And now you wish, perhaps To learn of less familiar traps? Beware of heard, a dreadful word, That looks like beard and sounds like bird. And dead; it's said like bed, not bead; For goodness sake, don't call it deed! Watch out for meat and great and threat; They rhyme with suite and straight and debt. A moth is not a moth in mother, Nor both in bother, broth in brother. And here is not a match for there, Or dear and fear for bear and pear. And then there's dose and rose and lose, Just look them up, and goose and choose. And cork and work and card and ward, And font and front and word and sword. And do and go, then thwart and cart. Come, come, I've hardly made a start. A dreadful language? Why, man alive, I'd learned to talk it when I was five, And yet to write it, the more I tried, I hadn't learned it at fifty-five! " I like this | |||
