"There so annoying . Really there should be a remove button for them . They really take the fun out of threads "

Just to clarify, (no I'm not trolling you), are you suggesting to remove the spellchecker police or those who post with spelling or grammar errors?

Im dyslexic and find it difficult to post without double checking my spelling most times

It's why I find it difficult to play some of the games on here because I'm not quick enough to answer and inevitably want to kiss,spank or fuck the wrong person in the thread....

As long as I can understand what someone means I couldn't care how their post is worded or if the spelling is ok

Do really bad misspellings make me twitch? Yes. Do I keep my mouth shut? I try my best. I may be a cunt but I’m not a dick

No one should be correcting anyone’s spelling or grammar on the internet. You have no idea of a persons literacy skills, whether they have dyslexia or a learning disability, whether English is their first language etc.

If you can understand what they’re saying, keep your trap shut. If you really don’t know, then ask politely for them to explain.

Continuously correcting someones spelling or grammar just shows you up to be the twat you really are.

there were a couple of individuals at it earlier but I think it was more attention seeking than anything. Same individuals have been trolling for the last few days and bickering with anyone who was willing to bite. Sad attention seeking twats.

Being anal retentive, having an anal personality, is someone with an extreme need to control their environment. The person will also have an obsessive attention to detail, (even non-essential details) e.g. spelling and grammar, to the point that it might annoy others.

As *anal is often an integral part of the swing lifestyle is it a safe place for "anal retentive" folk to be or could it ultimately lead to an embarrassing visit to A&E...

Yep I did it. I was being a smart arse because an OP had commented on another thread purely to correct someone's spelling. The OP acknowledged it with his "touché" comment. Am I a twat? Quite often, yes. Attention seeking? Sadly not

no I wasn't referring to you. I found your post quite amusing outsmarting someone who thought they were being funny correcting someone else. There were a few others who probably thought they were being funny but it was probably more a sign of immaturity

Agreed.

Anyhow, spelling - to an extent - is arbitrary as proven by the below classic:

"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae.
