Is it just me our do others get messages written by what appears to be a 2 week old Neanderthal chimp. Written something like "how's u coz ur ht u is" it's not Latin so what ancient dialect is this?  |

Sadly, and this is a fact, some individuals cannot write proper sentences. The education system has failed them. Having done some trade assessment work in Higher Education, I have seen many sixteen year olds who cannot write properly. Sad but it's a fact of life that text speak is probably here to stay. Whether one uses perfect punctuation, spelling and grammar as a benchmark for a bed buddy is still open to discussion. |

As I often get accused of heading the GAS (Grammatical Appreciation Society) this subject and that of inane Neanderthal prose is one I take an interest in.
Being a single chap and frequenting the annals of Fabbington Towers on a regular basis I understand the choice that others have in choosing playmates and indeed welcome the diversity that is displayed in the membership of the Towers community. However a recent exchange with a couple has confirmed to me that some, not all one hastens to add, really need to think and analyse what they compose and send to Fabbington colleagues.
The first message from them to me was "U av wrote 2 much and profile is 2 long" The correspondents profile seemed to be genuine as the said couple had received a number of verifications but for the life of me I could not fathom why a 45 and 47 year old man and woman would resort to distorting the English language in this way?
In the end I concluded that if they were lazy in this regard then that lack of enthusiasm would extend to the bedroom so for the first time on FAB (probably) a single male declined to correspond with a couple. My polite thanks but no thanks was met with "Ur loss M8" On reflection probably not! Neanderthal and inane grammar and comprehension is alive and well, sadly.
This must be a Thursday rant? |

I met an absolutely gorgeous woman in a club once. After we'd been chatting a while she said look at all those people heading for the playrooms, their going to get all the best ones unless we hurry.
I made my excuses, no way am I shagging someone who uses their instead of they're |

"What makes me laugh is the bad grammar and spelling in verifications! Makes you dread to think what the person writing it was like in person"
Really?! I have met people whose grammar and spelling have been poor for various reasons but they have been respectful, polite, chivalrous, and Fucking awesome in the sack.
It is ridiculous to assume that because someone cannot use correct sentence structure (which incidentally has been lacking on this thread also) they will be a bad person in the flesh. |

"Completly agree with you if they can't be bothered to put together a message. Well one that's readable I dread to think what they would be like in the flesh. Maybe captain caveman would turn up "
I think Captain Caveman would be quite popular on here |

Please don't forget that Dyslexia & Asperger sufferers may struggle to write, in what others would consider acceptable sentences.
I prefer good grammar and spelling but please don't judge too soon. |

I sometimes mix up my "their, there and they're" because it amuses me to imagine the look on the face of person I meet when he reads message ... for briefest on moments he will cringe at my poor use of the english language .. then he will get his sexy grin face as he realises Im winding him up  |

Also please remember that some folk have dyslexia. Never assume that they are thick!
I must confess to using text speak when messaging occasionally when I am in a hurry.... |

We don't like it. Sometimes just to make a point we reply with a well written message with some big words that they probably wouldn't understand. Seems to put a stop to them.  |

My grammar is bad, but my grandfather is perfectly fine. |

Neanderthals were marginalised and some believe inter bred with modern humans (homo sapiens sapiens?) they weren't chimps and they didn't speak Latin. I've got a soft spot for Neanderthals they get a really bad press. Speech and grammar is evolving too. I expect Victorians would be horrified by the way most of us speak. |

I started grunting and making lewd comments, thus passing myself of as one of the labourers when they were quarrying, and left amongst them at the end of the day. |

Wow, there is hope for me yet, when I get out I'm going to call myself Mr Darwin and site you when I learn to write or is that right or rite.
Let me go back to cleaning bones it's easier |

And I to you for the wonderful pictures on your profile, if only distance did not such a mockery make of the fun we three may have had  |
