One spelling mistake wouldn't be a problem but bad grammar, poor spelling and txtspk do put me off, yes.

I don't just want a fuck, I want a fuck with someone I feel I'm going to be able to communicate with.

I tend to feel people with poor English skills (where English is the first language) may pay less attention to detail than others, or put less effort in, (dyslexia etc aside).

I arranged a last minute meet once, I was in a hotel room I'd already paid for and had been let down and was soooo horny I wasn't thinking straight. Against my better judgement, (I learned to be much more careful and sensible after this), I hastily made arrangements with a guy that was near and available. His spelling and grammar was the worst I've ever seen, some of it was literally impossible to interpret, but I told myself not to be snobbish, as I just wanted to get urgently laid, not discuss our favourite novels!

He turned up with a friend, (I'd agreed to this in the hope that if he was a crap shag, then at least I was doubling my chances of decent sex), and it was a nightmare. They both stank of , and although I shouldn't have let them in the room, I was gagging and let them in. They looked like neither of them had ever done a days work, or ever planned to and I know it shouldn't matter, but were dressed as stereotypically as possible, tracksuit and baseball caps.

They couldn't muster anything more than a semi between them, and when they said they were going outside for a smoke, I told them they needn't return.

I'm NOT a grammar/spelling nazi, I make mistakes myself and I think there's more important things to worry about. But on this occasion, I formed an impression on the guy based on his very limited ability to communicate, and it turned out my assumption was correct. Just a shame I was too horny and stupid to listen to the alarm bells in my head. Still, live and learn eh?!

(Sorry OP, I know I've gone off on a tangent, it's just your post reminded me of this! The people that cancelled on you were idiots in my humble opinion)!

I make spelling and grammar mistakes, of course. However, I do pay attention to what I write and make an effort to be correct.

I see it as a courtesy to whomever I am writing to, or for, to be clear and correct. Being more concise might also be desirable at times but alas, I am only human.

Sounds a bit over the top but then again it depends on the spelling or grammatical mistake you made. After all, you might be really into kissing but who would want to meet you if you wrote,

'I think a meeting is far more sensual if I am allowed to kill your Mrs. Sex without killing leaves me a bit flat.'

I'll admit to being a grammar and vocab snob. I'm not perfect myself but if a person puts u instead of you, and mixes their theres up, I can't help but wonder what else they don't pay attention to.

Some people like watersports and dirty messy sex. Others enjoy whips. I enjoy good literature. My submissive is dyslexic but medically caused spelling mistakes and a travesty of communication are poles apart!

It depends what word you didn't spell correctly.

If you meant to say "So you can"...

but it came out as "So you cunt" then it may cause problems.

But I recon it was just an excuse to spare your feelings.

Personally I reckon that it is not about spelling, literature etc per se... it is about assumptions made about a person and that their perceived lack of spelling/ grammar etc is an indication that they are unintelligent and possibly unimaginative people. Assumptions can sometimes prove right but more often they do not?

There's no excuse for using 'there' instead of 'their' or 'your' instead of 'you're'. That is really basic English spelling and something we all should have learnt at primary school.

It is Rant Thursday after all.

Mind you "there", "their" and "to","two" and "too"... are textbook difficulties for most dyslexics. It is not usually the words that are perceived as difficult.. it is the simple ones that they struggle with as much if not more.

I'm not a pedant I hope but things like

using of instead of have and scattering text with meaningless apostrophes does annoy me and don't even get me started on using less when you mean fewer. However not everyone had had access to the same education and in the grand scheme of things as long as we can all understand each other it doesn't really matter and it wouldn't stop me meeting someone unless they had really long fingernails too

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

Few people write perfectly. It's a fact of life. However, really sloppy writing which resembles English but actually isn't is a turn off. I don't care about mistakes but adults writing worse than an average primary schooler is unattractive to me, text speak aside.

And I'm sick of hearing dyslexia used as an excuse. Unless you have been tested and proven to be dyslexic then you aren't. From reading through messages on this site it would appear that 50% of the population have it!! Which is bull!! And an insult to those who genuinely do. Dyslexics are not stupid or inarticulate as demonstrated by many messages I have received.

Sick of seeing the the typical knee-jerk response of 'that's offensive to dyslexics'. No one who complains about badly written messages is actually talking about dyslexia. They are talking about sloppy, lazy writing which is a world apart. Leave dyslexia out of these discussions!! That's not what is being meant!!

I'm turned off by text speak, poor spelling and bad grammar. It's lazy at best and why would I be interested in someone who can't be bothered to communicate properly? I do want a little light conversation at least to go with my shag and it would just be embarrassing being with someone who was unable to string a sentence together.

I got a message yesterday (how's u 2day) which I deleted. I then got another from the same guy (y dismiss b4 meet) to which I said if he couldn't be bothered to write a decent message I couldn't be bothered responding - I was feeling narky, otherwise I would just have ignored his second message, too. lol

I'm not interested in lazy people who don't make an effort, and seriously how much effort is needed anyway to write a couple of sentences to someone?

It is true that first impressions shape somebody's opinion about you, that people make assumptions about a person based on how they present, talk, write etc. We cannot help but for a brief moment making those assumptions and in a way it a survival strategy for cave days when we had to decide in a split second whether aa situation required a fight or flight response.

Not being able to spell correctly or not having the perfect grammar does not say anything about the person's intelligence. Now that to me is important when I meet people. Sex with somebody who cannot hold a conversation would be mind numbingly boring. Nothing to do with education, just intelligence and imagination.

Couldn't put it better myself. A local guy contacted me the other day to ask where he was going wrong, he couldn't get any meets, I suggested jigging his profile and checking his grammar. He took umbrage with me and lost my interest very quickly.

You missed a few. It'd put me right off as well, if someone can't be bothered to use an apostrophe it's hard to imagine they'll be able to hold much of a conversation.

True, I guess I like to give the benefit of the doubt on that one. The idea of sleeping with someone who is so dim that they're actually incapable of grasping that, what was it, "a *persons* ability to fuck" is a belonging word and not a plural seems little short of child abuse.

if somebody cares about the state of people grammer on a social forum like this then i wouldnt wanna meet that person, boring, if im doing an essay for uni ill concentrate on making it perfect, if im on here then well frankly i havent got time to be checking my spelling, its like if i went for a formal meeting at work id speak properly and drop the slang, however if i was with my pals in a pub speaking to girls then i would be speaking how i would in that social situation, e.g you alright mucka lets get the toe nail in order a taxi and head up fanny brown......just find it trivial and sad that people would not meet on grammar.

Let me try to make this easier to understand.

If you're writing to your bank to remortgage or apply for a loan, you would/should try to get your grammar, spelling and punctuation right.

If you're on this site looking for a partner to fuck, and yet can't be bothered to make the same effort, you're demonstrating a huge lack of respect for whoever is reading your message.

Should a comma be followed by "and", I've have always thought it bad grammar that, though do it myself occasionally.

I am very sorry for what i am about to post.

And, but and however are conjunctions and work similarly to commas. If the two clauses either side of the conjunction are not directly related then a comma is also needed.

Phew! That is an entire month of nerdiness spewed out over one sentence!

Strictly speaking no, iirc, full stops and commas shouldn't be followed by conjunctions. I tend to do both at times though, particularly on things like forums where I think it can help readers read what you're saying the same way you imagine yourself saying it.

"Totally agree..

Nobody is demanding anything. It should go without saying, though, that you're not obliged to meet someone for sex who you feel isn't treating you with any respect.

I dislike the grammar police - they're tedious, and in any case there are no absolute rules about the English language - there is no definitive authority for it.

However, I think equally that those who suggest that people who dislike poor writing are somehow up their own arse, are wrong to make that assumption.

How you write does give an indication of who you are. Therefore it seems sensible that others will judge you on it in the absence of much else to go on.

Well put. I try not to complain about people's grammar unless I genuinely can't understand what they're on about - it annoys me sometimes but I think people in general tend to annoy each other a lot of the time and you just have to let it go a lot of the time. Either for the sake of tact or just for an easier life.

Exactly this. Unless you've got a genuine problem such as dyslexia, poor spelling and grammar is just sheer laziness. I have no interest in meeting people who are too idle to learn something I knew as a small child, like the difference between 'their', 'there' and 'they're'.

The difference between 'your' and 'you're' isn't complicated. I'm sick to fuck of seeing people talking about 'a women'. The word 'discrete' is on far too many profiles. 'Alot' and 'abit' are not words. 'Lol' is not a word. There is no such thing as a pluralising apostrophe.

Grow the fuck up, pick up a book and write like an adult or I'll assume you're a child.

Fuckers.

I do suffer from dyslexia, but this has never stopped me getting across my point of _iew. And in my job I have to write long and detailed reports that are sent to very large global companies. I have yet to date ever had a company come back to me to say we are not going to do anymore business with you, because you cannot spell or you grammar is poor. But I do not like text speak, that’s just not correct. Lol P.M.S.L.......

I wouldn't expect anyone to cease doing business with you solely for that reason, but a sloppily-written email here and there could give an impression of laziness and a lack of professionalism. I'm not suggesting for one moment that you're guilty of any of the above, as clearly you have little difficulty assembling a perfectly good series of sentences.

A while ago a young lady working for a prospective supplier sent me an email which was unreadable. Because I couldn't fathom what on earth she was talking about, I simply replied 'What does that mean?' She then replied in normal grown-up English, and I got on with her perfectly after that.

This site is fascintating.

The two things that seems to create the most heated discussions are language and going bareback.

Now, if you're going to say that spelling doesn't matter, consider this would your rather be ridden bareback or bearback?

One is potentially lethal and the other one definitely is!

One is criminal and one is not.

Communication is a two way process, if what you're writing is unclear to the other person then your communication has broken down. Everyone can excuse some mistakes in spelling and grammar (or indeed gramma/grammer). However, it's clear that some just don't give a shit and for those who do, this is clearly a turn off.

I personally like the thought of a girl who can discuss iambic pentameter whilst in the throws of sex because it demonstrates that a) she can multi task and b) she's educated, both of which I find a turn on (and also why I'm with Tor).

My issue with spelling as a foreigner from a North American country that is not the USA, we use both English and American spellings so colour, color, tyre and tire are all appropriate where I come from, I know this irritates some people, but then that's life.

Please do not worry my friend; I have not taken your words to heart. But I do understand that some people, “and it seems to come from the younger ones” use text speak in emails. Not good in business. Lots of love to all, or should that be Lol, I’m never sure.
