"My punctuation isn't great I'm prone to long sentences with few commas and I'm unsure of some grammar. An example do you say 'if I *was*' Or 'if I *were* ' ?" If I were. Although a lot depends on accents too. I often say me mum as thats how I actually say it, even though I know it’s grammatically incorrect. | |||

"I try my best, I don’t always get the punctuation right. With these modern spell check systems I don’t feel there is an excuse for spelling. All anyone can do is their best, sometimes it falls short but they’ve tried. I think it shows when someone has not tried and can’t be bothered, then I can’t be bothered to read it.

"Absolutely, we get messages all the time asking "how's you's". We just won't reply to that at all, it's not being snobbish or thinking we're better than anyone else, it's the lack of effort and the fact they can even string one sentence together." explain what you mean and what about dislexia ornsuch or people who just fsiled english they just shit outta luck | |||

I don’t have much time for a lot of misspelling. As I posted above, the spelling check systems built in to most devices should be used if you know you struggle with spelling.

"I bloody hope not, I'm dyslexic and sometimes even autocorrect can't help." Same I always get stuck on necessary. Took me ten goes for predictive to find the word. Just getting the spellings is hard enough let alone making sure that the correct word has been used (where were) for example. Then throw punctuation into the mix (mind-blowing) | |||

"I try my best, I don’t always get the punctuation right. With these modern spell check systems I don’t feel there is an excuse for spelling. All anyone can do is their best, sometimes it falls short but they’ve tried. I think it shows when someone has not tried and can’t be bothered, then I can’t be bothered to read it. so your saying if its wrtten in a certain way you wouldnt even read the messages regardless of what it is" Unfortunately that's exactly my sentiment. If it's written so badly, for instance without commas, then reading the text can become very difficult and hence my interest is lost. Predictive text can be a bugger, as such it really makes sense to read over whatever you have written. A missing comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence or failing that, it can lead to the sentence being interpreted in different ways by varying readers. | |||

"I bloody hope not, I'm dyslexic and sometimes even autocorrect can't help. Same I always get stuck on necessary. Took me ten goes for predictive to find the word. Just getting the spellings is hard enough let alone making sure that the correct word has been used (where were) for example. Then throw punctuation into the mix (mind-blowing)" The thing I would draw from your post is the fact that you took x number of goes and came up with the word you wanted. You made the effort. From the posts of yours that I’ve seen I wouldn’t know you were dyslexic. | |||

"I bloody hope not, I'm dyslexic and sometimes even autocorrect can't help." To be fair, it's not just you. I'm not dyslexic but sometimes I'll type out a word and even the predictive text is like "I don't know what to tell you pal" | |||

Example:
"I'm really very sorry I love you"
Versus
"I'm really very sorry, I love you"
Same words used, only one little comma and the whole meaning changes!
My genuine fear is that those whose grammar and use of commas etc. is not so good will likely not understand the difference illustrated  | |||

"Does punctuation matter? In deciding and answering mails, If you've got enough ladies chatting to you and potentially interested in meeting that you can filter by punctuation....big hat tip from me but why would you i though you was here for the person not punctuation "Well personally punctuation alone wouldn’t bother me but how somebody writes and communicates is part of the broader person. I can’t help but being turned off by people who communicates poorly written or verbal. Saying that if a group situation somewhere and a quick fuck etc. it doesn’t matter. | |||
