Your right though, decent spelling and punctuation is nice. Personally I always have problems with correct use of the apostropheand too or to. No doubt there are others I just haven't even realised, I work on it though.I don't like spell checkers, I don't believe they improve your skills, muchbetter to look it up in the dictionary, be that book or online version.Literary skills are also a poor indicator of a person, regardless of what most females will tell you.Cheers Felonius

felonius,couldn't agree more.Somedays I am using the dictionary more than others.Obviously on a profile it shows laziness and lack of thought if there are lots of typos.However if a message is thoughtfully constructed then a few spelling mistakes make no difference to how I perceive the messenger. yo yo,wots up,wots happening,wot you doin etc make me grind my teeth,and my response is usually...nothin' Many very intelligent people are dyslexic and to dismiss what they have to say would be stupid.x Hugs H

one of the most adorable older gentleman I know constently uses text speak in our communications and it doesnt bother me a bit. My fingers and brain are often working at different speeds (different planets sometimes to - or is it too ) thus my spelling and grammar is often left to the wayside. As long as I can understand what they mean then I dont mind. Besides with so many with ESL in this lovely country a little lee way is appreciated. Its a much easier language to learn to speak than it is to write. Kisses Focus

If I read a badly spelled but well written profile or post I will overlook any errors but if I think laziness is involved then it is a major turn off. As for text speak, I think it is fine for mobile phones and that is where it should stay.I would also like to see a greater use of not only dictionaries (not spellcheckers) but thesauri as well.

It's well documented, that the human brain is such a wonderful thing, that if just the first letter, and last letter of any word is correct, the brains natural reaction is to read the word as if it was in fact correctly spelt. This may account for some of the more easier of spelling mistakes that we find in posts.

Buuuuuuut in fact its often the reason I will flick a profile. If the couple or individual say to the effect "we will score you on spelling and grammar" We often think to ourselves oh lord your too much like hard work ! I want you to fuck me not write me a book ! I agree text speak often heavily transcribed into a profile will send me a bit batty. Yes I would love a spell check but I still fuck up my there and theirs from time to time. I type and type quick think about this often comes second ! Oh and my off and of and to and too's.Stay sexy be respectful and be involved and we will all have fun.Brae

Yes I would love a spell check but I still fuck up my there and theirs from time to time. I type and type quick think about this often comes second ! Oh and my off and of and to and too's. It varies depending on the mode of communication. Different media vary in levels of formality. An SMS is fairly informal - people used to try and save time and money by fitting lots into short messages. These days however with free messages included in most plans and pretty decent auto-correct features, there's not as much of an excuse. Chat programs are relatively informal, where a speedy response is usually more important than accuracy.Some people approach emails like SMS or chat. I don't. I approach them as closer to a letter than an SMS, and since you have the ability to revise and edit before you send it you should.The point of proper spelling and grammar is that it makes it easier for someone else to read. It literally hurts my brain to read something with no punctuation, because I don't know when to pause, what to emphasise, or how to make meaning from it. If the flow is broken by me trying to decipher what it is you've said (and this applies to text speak) then you've lost me.Mistakes in forum posts I can forgive in others, because they are relatively informal and there is no edit function. (Saturn 65 - classic!)Mistakes on a profile page though are a cardinal sin. That's your face to the world, your home. That's what people are taking first impressions from. There's no rush to get something out there. Take the extra 10 mins to get it right. If you know you have problems with expression get someone to look over it and give you feedback (preferably not in the forums though). To me I equate spelling and grammar with personal grooming, or housekeeping. I can be a total slob when I'm by myself, but if I'm expecting company I'll put in the effort to present a nice front. You don't need to do your hair when you meet someone, brushed hair says little about who you are as a person, but gee, it's nice to do so, and tells the other person you at least respect them enough to put in some effort.

...spelling is appearing more and more. I met a guy recentley who couldn't spell to save his life and his grammer was not much better. However he is a fantastic intelligent man in his own right. Sadly though he found it very embarrassing. l've also met some perfect spellers and gramatically correct individuals but their peronality needed more attention than the boobs at Hooters. .....and just tp add, as i've just seen my son's go through a "posh" school, the emphasis on spelling was shite to say the least. l remember when the youngest was in junior school, the teaching of the basic phonetics was not on the priority list. Jeezuz, l remember getting a ruler on the knuckles if l got it wrong. As for the times table......don't get me started. me....a country girl who wagged school and played in the bush's

Text speak is fine on a phone, and when a little creeps in to the general vernacular who cares !But whole profiles or messages written in text speak ? Nope, major fail for me, I see it as lazy, ignorant and disrespectful.But in a language that spells phonetic p.h. a bit of tolerance doesn't go astray, it is the substance of the messagethat should carry the most sway.Ignorance is bliss.

For some reason it doesnt come up in the search results It doesnt bother me if spelling or puntuation is wrong because half the time i wouldnt know anyway. I think the message is more important than where a few dots lines or letters are put in the right spot or not. I was starting to try put them in all the right places and spell correctly then i thought why its not me if someone is going to judge my caricter and who i am of a couple of typed words then your really not the person i would like meet or be around. But whats that saying Dont Judge A Book By Its Cover because you never know whats inside until you open it up. I never really make an opinion about someone until ive spoken to them on the phone or in person. At the end of the day if thats how you think thats up to you Your the ones missing out

I can understand what your saying Wooduck, though my own philosophy is always about self betterment of the mind.For some its self betterment of the body.For some its both.In everything I do, its always about "How can I do it better" near enough and whogives a flying fuck is not an option, and nor should it ever be. Do I ever always achieve my goals, of course not, but the effort is there none the less.Our improvements will indeed become us, and we should strive to own them.Lastly...Knowledge is no burden to carry. Knowledge is power.Some women will even find your brain and soul more exciting than a six pack!If you have both woo hoo! You may just need a stick.Cheers Felonius

Does the lack of spelling / grammar / punctuation on a profile or message turn you off someone? The odd typo or grammatical error is fine. What get's me is when people who are so obsessed about other people's shortcomings and that's not just limited to spelling. This type often has difficulties finding anyone who is compatible with their desires/wants.Perhaps 'set in their ways'.

It is a huge pet peeve for me, incorrect spelling & grammar. There is no need to purposely misspell words such as what (wat) & enough (enuf). I was never an A Grade student at school but I am pretty sure you had to be able spell, read & write to pass certain grades & advance to the next grade at school. There are a lot of profiles that turn me off because of the revolting spelling, text talk &/or awful spelling. U can say however that Oasis is worse cause they don't have preset paragraphs that you can you use on your profile like on here. If someone is on their PC they could type their profile in word, press F7 & it will find at least some of the errors. The biggest problem is that society has allowed people to type in this lazy careless language. Okay had my whinge now ;)

I'm happy to look past a few spelling mistakes, i'm more so wanting to know the person's character and can i attach myself to that... sexually. I know some amazing people that are highly intelligent, creative, artistic, as well as visually and sexually appealing, but can not string two sentences together on paper to save themselves... for this reason i'm happy to look past a few typo's if there's an initial attraction, as appealing as a wordsmith is. i might find a diamond in the rough by accident if i'm curious enough to delve a little deeper... or not.i'm not one to hold a spelling exam before a shag... i just have to like you.

I get what people are saying about how it's not important, it doesn't give a true sense of the person etc.However, the more I think about it, the more apt my analogy is.Would you go on a date in an old tatty, stained t-shirt? Or would you wear something nice and clean? Would you shower before hand? Would you do your hair, clean your teeth etc?All of these things aren't necessarily "you", nor do they speak to the essence of who you are. It might be your favourite t-shirt in the world that you wear around the house all the time. However, it's all about making a good impression. You wouldn't expect people not to put any effort into their physical appearance, so why would you not expect the same in writing? For me it's about respect.Genuine mistakes I'm not really hung up on in most contexts, but laziness just gives me the shits.

~ No one is perfect and I'm no one ~ I tend to overlook grammatical errors on most sites as we're typing on a number of different gadgets to get our words out into cyber space, and I make mistakes, too. Yes, spelling mistakes irk me, but whatya do? A guy sent me a text saying: " I'd rather eat chocolate then have sex " with a PS: If you know grammar/spelling, you'll pick it up.. I think spelling words correctly is a talent, not a given. A person either has the ability to remember shapes of words or they don't. One of my younger bros has a Phd but doesn't remember anyone's birthday correctly or spell words correctly. Due to being busy, I don't reply to all my messages on here. If others can forgive that, I can bypass spelling mistakes on here. However I have played tug-of-war with my own wrist ( mind out of gutter blokes ) at many errors, some of which I can recall: 1) Spelling definitely with an ' a ' in it. 2) The username that had ' solidhunk ' in it, but I felt an urge to say that it had been misspelt as ' soildhunk ' 3) Haven't received a message with ' their ', ' they're ', ' your ' or ' you're ' used correctly. 4) The perfectly worded profile that had ONE glaring spelling mistake: ' per say ' instead of ' per se ' But they may be talented in other areas: reading music, changing a tyre, sumo wrestling, etc that surpasses my own talents so meh, I let it pass.....LOL!! Disclaimer: Am typing on a miniature phone so the above may not only be wordy, but also may not be grammatically correct.

I have to say I disagree. Mediums such as this, are designed to increase your exposure to other people; not just simply "playing." Everyone here, yourself included, are all looking for something; whatever that maybe. Is it pedantic to have a core minimum standard?? For some, that standard maybe drug & disease free, etc. This case however it's spelling, grammar, etc, I don't think at all, that dropping a minimum core standard would encourage any change in ones own "happy and relaxed" life. Don't you think?

Quoting 'feloniusfossil' Literary skills are also a poor indicator of a person, regardless of what most females will tell you. Only with this line though. I think they are a reasonable indicator of a person. It's not the actual correctness of spelling and grammar but the effort in expressing yourself that's required. Geek's MS would tear strips off me for my dangling participles but for the most part, I think I express myself well. My spelling isn't great and I should take more care in proof reading my posts, sometimes I leave entire words out and sometimes the keys on this ancient keyboard don't register. Sometimes my grammar is woefull. I make no claims to perfection. Litonya once took offense to the way I expressed this opinion. As she pointed out, english is not the first language to many of our contributers. I felt bad that she felt this way. I feel that she expresses herself well. I think Felonious always posts a thoughtful opinion well. He's being too hard on himself. Mistakes are made but the effort always shows through. There hasn't been a post on this thread so far that I would consider to be an embarrassment to it's author.

"Having an open mind" does not mean "drop all your standards".If you want to use spelling and grammar to screen potential playmates, go for it. If you want to use weight/height/sexual orientation/make of car/yearly income to screen potential playments, GO FOR IT.If you can't cope with random rants about an incorrectly-placed apostrophe then you will probably find me (or those like me) VERY irritating and you wont enjoy my company (or my sex).Yes, I will judge you on your spelling. In return you are welcome to judge me on my judgementalness...Cheers,MS Quoting 'AdventureTime' the idea of opening your mind and body to the play scene... is NOT to judge everyone in the normal 1 man 1 woman /solo relationship / get married /be boring way..

The REAL issue. Standards. The problem for some of you, is that some of us have them. I won't fuck an IQ below 90. you won't fuck a BMI above 25. Well, shit. We are officially incompatible. You can have a rant about people who are "too lazy" to maintain a BMI below 25. Start a thread. Be my guest. I'll start a thread about people who "are too lazy/stupid to spell". We are both going to get flamed. Wanna know why? Because the ones that want me that aren't my type are still going to cry about it. And the ones that want YOU that aren't YOUR type are going to cry about it. Doesn't change the fact that sometimes there is crossover. And want outside the norm. Then the shit hits the fan ๐

Just curious if anyone here lives by this motto; 'Pick your battles'In my opinion, dismissing someone as 'inferior' because they lack what you determine to be a decent grasp of the (written) English language is narrow-minded and somewhat arrogant.Incorrect spelling and punctuation are both things that do annoy me.Disrespect for those that don't or can't - annoys me more.Narrow-minded and judgmental is far more unattractive than one's occasional ability to lose a grasp of the English language.Disappointed.Hanna

Not quite as straightforward. I know I struggled with "lterets" in the above example for that very reason.Just because you CAN decipher it, doesn't mean it's easier or even functionally equivalent. It is harder and takes longer for the reader to arrive at the same point. Granted some people want 'harder and longer', but not in working out what you're trying to say!And Jensman*, can't I still be an individual if nobody else is perfect but me? *Holy crap I just realised what your nickname means!

indeed Hanna.An inability to grasp the fundamentals of spelling and grammar, impacts on almost every area of a person's life.Many children in mainstream schools struggle on a daily basis to learn because of lack of support. If all of us gave just an hour or so a week to listen to a child read and give them support and encouragement ,then that child's future job and relationship prospects will be increased enormously.x Hugs H

Oh jolly good Ol' chap! I say, steady on old chaps, Colonials canโt even speak the Queens language correctly so how can you expect anyone to bloody well write it. Golly, look at the time! Chocks away! Tally ho.Ps. Bullocks=Equates to Bullsh**(when used in exclamation)

I'm better at math than spelling, but I've received awards for both. However, these days I concentrate more on philosophical logic than calculas, and learning 'professional writing' skills rather than practicing my spelling.May I have another award for being incredibly arrogant, judgemental and snobbish? :DI don't care if somebody can spell. I care if they can spell-check. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much I care - people message me anyway (without using spell-check).Cheers,MS Quoting 'choppyme' I would like to see the ppl that think they can spell well..............let me see how good are they at math??????

There is a huge difference between lacking spelling skills and laziness. Text language in a message to us is almost always going to get you a thanks but no thanks. For two reasons... firstly, you are probably too young, and secondly, if you can't be bothered typing whole words what else are you going to be lazy about??? That is entirely different to not spelling words correctly.

one of the things i ask for in my profile is that someone be's inteligent and lot's of guy's sent a message an i reading there profile's and they says their intelegent an im sorry but if your writting like this - your not.I may one day want a sexy note written for me and left somewhere I can find it as a precursor for an erotic night - and let me say, if it's to be written like that , there'll be no eroticism!!Bad spelling can happen to everyone - (bloody iPhones...), and the odd gaff here and there goes unnoticed. But when a profile and/or message is written as badly as that first paragraph - it's a turn-off.

He he just looked your profile you looking to find that type of men in here hi hi don't be funny , I wish you luck only time wasters are hire because they got nothing better to do in life , I'm here to spend my free time real man sis you will find in every day life if you get it Unintelligible, damn near incomprehensible and clearly written by a time-wasting idiot who has nothing better to do in life. (By his own admissions. The guy even spelt his own profile name incorrectly.) And please, none of that "But English might be his 2nd language" stuff. FTS!
