Does bad spelling put you off?

Like on a profile on here or elsewhere?

I see profiles using terms like “were” instead of “where” and “thur” instead of “there”.

And I don’t know why but I just get annoyed?

Is it snobbish?

Who knows? Them over their……

P.S that was a joke. I know their means ownership and not place etc.

"I Google words to make sure I spell correctly but my punctuation is not the best."

I always try to use the correct words and I never use text speak.

Google is my friend when I am unsure of the correct spelling.

Mistakes don't bother me as everyone makes them, and some people do have real issues with spelling.

However lazyness in writing does put me off a little.

It's not difficult to spell check your profile if you know you have issues and if you can't even be bothered doing that how much effort is going to be put in elsewhere?

Forgive me if I’m wrong but a lot of people have bad education for whatever reason it’s not for me to make an assumption on bad grammar !

It’s more about the lady in question !

I do struggle with folks who know the right word but get the wrong spelling.

Is it lack of intelligence and/or learning?

Relying on autocorrect?

Using dictation and then not checking?

Or just laziness?

In a time before the Interweb and Soshal Meedjia I never saw so many examples. Perhaps it mattered more then?

Absolutely this. Sometimes makes me sound a complete crazy person at times.

It changes correct words, it’s even still there in the options. I love spell check, I need it. So it highlights the incorrect words with red. But then sometimes just thinks it’s smarter than me and changes things without warning.

This really.

We all press ‘send’ a little too soon and make the odd mistake at times.

However - if someone will only speak in text speak and short, bastardised sentences then I know we simply won’t have enough in common to get on well at a social and progress to bloody amazing sex - and as that’s primarily what I’m here for (other than group socials) I don’t see the point in replying.

I think there's a difference between being clearly dyslexic and/or bad at spelling and just being plain arrogant enough to act like your spelling is the correct one. Although that's probably how most of our words got created.

I don't misspell but I do sometimes accidentally miss out words when I type - it's like my fingers can't keep up with my brain. Seems to only happen on a phone and not a computer/laptop though

Depends on the context, I have a fair few family members so I trained myself to let a few things slide. If it looks like an effort has been made I don't care as much, if you have a wall of text in text speak I won't even bother looking at the rest. Grammatical errors are annoying but its a failure of our shitty education system so I breathe through it and move on.

We don't worry about the odd typo. But we've had messages with no punctuation and coherent sentences. Makes it difficult deciphering want they want, so they get deleted. If someone said they were dyslexic, we would make the effort to understand them

The one that gets me is ‘I should of known’ instead of ‘I should have known’.

As they say bad grammar is the difference between ‘knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit’.

I think it’s a generational thing in all honesty. We come from a time when mis-spelled words had to be re-written 20 to 100 times (depending on how much of a swine your teacher was) until it sunk in.

My son is 18 and fairly bright though not academic. His spelling is awful and he writes ‘summit’ (makes me cringe every time - probably why he does it) - but he’s doing well as an apprentice electrician and once qualified he’ll earn far more than me.

I’ll just check his invoices before he sends them!

I wouldn’t judge people who don’t have any command of the English language - I just can’t imagine us in bed together unless they happen to be jaw-droppingly gorgeous - in which case I have no bloody rules at all. He can say ‘Ugg’ for all I care!

Not necessarily... I recorded a teams meeting to assist minute taking and some of it was complete garbage. I'm dyslexic to words and numbers despite being a PA/secretary. I'm more forgiving of spelling errors because even the most intelligent of people can't spell and sometimes the words don't look correct even when they are.

A yellow film or anything printed on yellow paper assists with visual issues usually.

I am mildly dyslexic. Have been all my life. In school they thought I was thick because I could not read or write properly.

So, I put in an effort to try and not make mistakes by reading what I write before posting.

However in my experience dyslexics do not write "no" instead of "know"; they are more likely to write "konw". The letters get jumbled up. They are not thick either.

If I had received the message above I would not think you were dyslexic except for the word "dosent" which is classic for doesn't.

I am speaking as someone who is dyslexic and struggles with his spelling and punctuation.

Poor spelling, grammar and text speak annoy me. It just comes across as lazy. I won't hold it against someone if they make the occasional spelling mistake or grammatical error. But I have been put off when trying to chat to someone and their use of English was so bad I wasn't sure what they were trying to say.

Statistically 9-12% of the world population are affected by dyslexia; about 85% of Fabsters use it as an excuse for writing rubbish English.

Either that or there is a high correlation between horniness and dyslexia.

"Mistakes don't bother me as everyone makes them, and some people do have real issues with spelling.

However lazyness in writing does put me off a little.

It's not difficult to spell check your profile if you know you have issues and if you can't even be bothered doing that how much effort is going to be put in elsewhere? "

its spelt laziness,, lol

I try to remember that there are very valid reasons why not everyone’s spelling, grammar and punctuation are correct, and I don’t mean that to sound patronising either. But I do notice and find it jarring sometimes.

You can spell, that is evident from this post.

Some of the most intelligent and successful people I know are dyslexic.

Trust me I can’t mostly the phone doing all the work hand me paper and a pen and watch me frieze on the spot "

However you're arriving at the spelling and grammar, you're doing a grand job and the effort is indicative.

Absolutely this. Sometimes makes me sound a complete crazy person at times.

It changes correct words, it’s even still there in the options. I love spell check, I need it. So it highlights the incorrect words with red. But then sometimes just thinks it’s smarter than me and changes things without warning.

You can tell if it's an autocorrect error or dyslexia. You can also tell if it's just lazy/uneducated.

Yes. I’m an absolute grammar and spelling snob.

In Liverpool, lads have a habit of writing “ye” instead of you or you’re. Worst still, they write “yanno” instead of you know.

They also write me and you were it isn’t necessary.

For example -

“I’m 43 me, ye well fit you yanno”

Now I have quite a strong Liverpool accent but I swear it makes my toes curl!!!

Does it really matter as long as written communication is possible? On the occasions where meaning isn't clear then just ask politely.

I'm fortunate that spelling and punctuation come easily. Many don't find it so easy. Whatever the reason any further judgement on intelligence or personality would in all likelihood be inaccurate and based upon prejudice.

No. Not at all. Bad spelling isn't something you do on purpose. Nothing to do with intelligence or laziness. In fact most people are embarrassed if they spell something wrong. Why would I judge them? That's just mean.

However text speak is on purpose and that does put me off.

No but at the end of the day how they spell a word has no baring on their intelligence, ability to hold a conversation, personality so it can seem a bit nit picky. If you don't want to fuck them, don't but to use something that can be down to fat fingers on a keyboard dyslexia, a second language etc just seems arbitrary in my opinion.

Not, me. The content of what is being said is important to me. I'm dyslexic and sometimes my spelling and/or grammar is out. But a few misspelling doesn't really matter because our brains decipher it anyway so what is written is perfectly understandable. So if somebody is put off by my misspelling then that is fine by me, they are not for me. Because if someone is more bothered by my spelling than the content of what I have to say then they are most likely not the sort of person I'm going to connect with on interpersonal level. Because character, outlook and intellect are what really turn me on not shallow spelling snobbery.

"Maybe"? Did she or didn't she - surely it is not that long ago?

Is your wife dyslexic? The first part of the sentence in question says "I'm dyslexic, it's no joke ..."

When you speak do you say "the last one you SEEN?" not "the last one you SAW"?

When I have time I will hit the green arrow as requested to see if you can spell, inter alia, "said".

It's actually a very valuable filter and a peek in to the level of education and grasp of language and grammar that the author possesses.

This can give you some additional insight in to their intellectual capabilities and their mental sophistication.

For some, it might be useful as a compatibility filter. But as a means of judgement, it is not so kind.

Professor Sapolsky from Stanford University cautions us to avoid categorical thinking (Introduction to Human Behavioral (sic) Biology 29/3/2010 - YouTube).

I believe it has its place if you honestly self-examine the reasons why you assess a poster's grammar and spelling.

If it's because you feel or desire to feel superior to them in some way, that's completely different to assessing general compatibility and finding common ground.

I assess because I was taught to emulate, modulate and integrate in all social circles, no matter how different from my own.

If I fail to interpret someone else’s spelling and grammar, then whilst they are partly responsible for the communication difficulty, I am also responsible for incorrect interpretation. It takes two to communicate, and it should not be beyond my wit and intelligence to make up the shortfall accordingly.

As both of us have dyslexia (not self diagnosed kind) we get more frustrated with our own problems and issues with spelling mistakes than that of others.

We do our best to spell things correctly and check and read what we are sending

Probably more of a turn off the low amount of effort, crudeness and impersonalility of the some of the messages we get

It is clear that lots don't take a second to proof read before hitting the send button?

I agree you can look past it. What disturbs those 8 to 10% of the population who actually have dyslexia are those who don't hVe it using it as an excuse for sloppy writing.

I do notice there, their and they’re and we’re we’re and where, but I’m also dyslexic so have problems with spelling myself and I’m sure spell plenty incorrectly, I’d equally be upset if I’ve tried hard to be coherent and then get binned off for bad spelling.

Nearer than you think

It does put me off, but context can override that.

Misspelled words in a longer, otherwise articulate, message are incidental and don't obstruct meaning.

Textspeak, or a short message that doesn't make sense because of the poor use of language, is an instant delete

"Are we just supposed to fuck everyone and never have anything that puts us off for fear of offending them?

'Judgemental' is a word thrown around a lot. And --isms. "

How many spelling mistakes are they allowed to make before they are written off by you?

Or is it a case of big mystaickes as opposed to missing a leter out of a word.

I mean what is criteria for you. I can understand not fancying people, not getting on, hygiene and stuff. But it just seems bizarre to me. That you would write some great people off just for that. Frankly. Knowing that you think that way, has put me off you.

So what criteria am I allowed to use when deciding who I will fuck?

Also please highlight in my post where I stated the number and type of spelling mistakes that I reject people on.

I use Siri as I can’t spell. And even Siri messes it up for me sometimes. I do have dyslexia and if a word looks right then am not going to know if it’s spelt right or not. Personally we don’t like text talk.
