FabSwingers.com forum: Anyone else get disproportionately annoyed by deliberate misspellings?

Or is it just me and actually, I need to get a life?

I have grammar pedant tendencies at the best (worst) of times anyway but when I see the likes of "Nawty" and "Norty" etc, it induces a skin crawling reaction in me.

It doesn't help that I don't even like "naughty" used to describe sex as it smacks of immaturity but FFS, at least spell it properly if you insist on being childish.

I don't like text speech it's not necessary these days.

When we had Nokia and had too condense the words to fit the amount of letters we could use, it was fine.

But now it's just sheer laziness and annoying.

No I don't. The english language is a smorgasboard of possibility. Intent and meaning can still be inferred even when spelling and grammar aren't 'correct'.

Yes, back in the days of Nokia 3310s it was acceptable although I never liked it. Text speak is unnecessary but deliberate misspellings don't always save characters so I'm not even sure whT the point of it is. I hate it.

If it irks you O.P. it irks you.

I like to think that the language a person used enables them to get through situations in various contexts.

We all follow varying codes of speech according to the group or person we are speaking to.

I don't use 'nawty' or such but I would allow someone I was sexually attracted to far more indiscretions re texting and spelling.

I use various codes according to the tone of the thread. I still consider that authentic.

Contrary to popular belief, spelling and grammar alone are not good indicators of intelligence , personality or the ability to fuck or have a laugh.

People who think they never alter their behaviour or speech according to the demands of the day delude themselves and if they are not deluded then they are poor communicators.

Language evolves.

I’m definitely a pedant when it comes to spellings etc. I even put paragraphs in my text (I love proper paragraphing).

In fairness, my job for many years involved helping people develop their writing skills. It makes you acutely aware of style, mistakes etc.

It’s probably the same for a painter and decorator on here - I’m sure many of them think “this orgy’s going brilliantly - but that’s a sloppy bit of workmanship in the bathroom”

I don’t criticise others - I know it’s the person that’s important, not their writing. I do find paragraphs very helpful when reading Fab posts though!

(Oi, stop crawling over this post for mistakes, you lot - I’ve been hoisted on my own petard enough times already)!

Can’t say I am annoyed by it. It’s more important to me what the person has to say.

However, I can understand why it would be annoying to see someone deliberately misspell words for no rhyme or reason AND what they were saying matched their words.

I get that not everyone is a great speller or hung up on grammar, plus dyslexia can make things difficult for some people. But it's the deliberate misspelling, for no apparent reason other than an attempt to be "wacky" or "edgy" perhaps, that makes me more cross than is strictly necessary.

I realise that I'm sounding like Tim from The Office when he was complaining about the forced wackiness of Comic Relief...

Oh seriously it really tickles me when people write in short hand text like teenagers, coupled with bad spelling and grammar. It's just primary and secondary education is free AND compulsory in the UK. So where is the excuse? I was speaking to a lady in her early 50's, she looked so intelligent and sophisticated, but honestly her writing was awful, it was a pain trying to understand her. I can totally understand if English is not your first language, but when it's your mother tongue. It's disgraceful.

There used to be a spelling gadget on this but lost it many phones ago. Spelling mistakes for me are not done on purpose. I write in a word I'm not sure how to spell and the middle line doesn't come close to the proper spelling,

Apologies if that bugs some fabbers, it's not done on purpose.

It's also about where/what you are writing. If it was an essay for a PHD then I wouldn't expect it to be full of txt spk (unless it was a dissertation on txt spk).

But on a forum on the web it's more interesting that there are many different styles and ways.

Before the dickshunnery there was no standard way of spelling and spoken language changes how words sound but the spelling doesn't change (Leicester/Lester).

In can see where you are coming from and I can also see your daughters' point of view.

Modern languages do evolve, new words are created out of a need and some words disappear because they are no longer in use while others change their meaning for example "gay" used to mean "happy".

Language is used to give people an identity, to differentiate themselves from other groups, be it teenagers versus older generations, be if for race identity or even for a specific work jargon. So it is great that language has the richness to express that.

That said it grates on me when people deliberately "circumcise" language - I know there are more important things in life but it does irritate me

Sometimes I see the typos on my phone but c.b.a wasting time or skin or effort correcting it. If I can read it so can everyone else.

And i thought i was special. Lol

The lower case i in your sentence is making me sweat. If my phone doesn't autocorrect mine I have to go back and change them.

"Wrongly spelled words aggravate my mind, because I'm an anal arsehole like that.

I also find myself arranging cans on the supermarket shelves that are misaligned, and putting bottles into their correct position in fridges.

I understand that it's my problem, not the people who wrote stuff.

Left my daughter alone yesterday evening for 2 hours, she’s almost 12 and insisted she was fine, my neighbours are awesome and her best friend lives opposite us and we live in a very quiet cul-de-sac of 25 house. *just feel like I need to explain the context before the judgement of leaving an 11 year old for 2 hours*

Anyway, got home and she says I’ve done the cupboards mummy, opened them up and it was like a scene from sleeping with enemy, she said if I mess them up I’m gonna be in trouble!

"Or is it just me and actually, I need to get a life?

I have grammar pedant tendencies at the best (worst) of times anyway but when I see the likes of "Nawty" and "Norty" etc, it induces a skin crawling reaction in me.

It doesn't help that I don't even like "naughty" used to describe sex as it smacks of immaturity but FFS, at least spell it properly if you insist on being childish.

I don't generally let things like that irk me as a rule, but I guess it's all down to the choices we make.

I do find some use of numbers in word texts slightly annoying, like gr8 for great or b8trys for batteries and so on, but that has more to do with my numerical dyslexia than it does grammar!!!

If I fancy somebody rotten and their command of written English isn't up to spec, I turn a blind eye.

Grammar is a huge thing for me, nothing irks me more than somebody using your/you're/theyre/there/their wrong! I get it if it's a one off mistake but consistent errors makes me fancy the person a lot less!

Don't get me started on people who say pacific instead of specific!

It used to bother me, then I remembered we are on a rock, floating through space in an infinite universe, so I thought I’d let it go, however I’m still struggling with people who don’t know the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’.

I know you can’t correct grammar in the forums , which is fair enough. But the other day I had some sage give me, what he thought was a smart arse reply and he finished his comment with your welcome, it took every fibre of my being not to reply *you’re welcome.

Nothing wrong with leaving an 11 year old on their own for a few hours.

As to the cupboards, I hope you didn't mess up her lovely arrangements.

"Been and being

Non and none"

That is ignorant, not deliberate, misspelling.

I am,however, fascinated by the frequency of that particular confusion and have concluded that it happens because in some parts of the country 'none' is actually pronounced 'non' and not 'nun'.

I often wonder if people do this because they CAN'T spell the proper words correctly... so they give up and bastardise the word instead.

In today’s world of txt speaking I guess it’s not that big a deal.I generally use the spell check on my phone but some times mess up the words whether and weather.There is a guy on the London forum whose spelling and grammar is so bad that some of the London forum user have pulled him up to no avail.

There’s a nearby profile that constantly uses the “word” Nawty, it’s really annoying.

It is a fact of modern life that those who are ignorant, uneducated or simply don't care are able to enjoy nearly all the privileges that others have. There are exceptions such as a pilot's licence (I hope!).

This can irk people who have been through a system where they were conned into believing they would only get on in life if they learned to do things correctly.

However the OP on this thread started a different discussion from the normal spelling moans and asked the interesting question as to why some use deliberate misspelled versions of certain words. to my knowledge this topic hasn't come up before but the other has, many times, and has no apparent cure.

Yes, this isn't about SPaG ability (another annoyances but a whole other discussion). Some people seem to be confusing my posts with that, text speak, use of acronyms and general laziness. Not the same
