I was shaking my head (the one on my shoulders for a change) and tutting at the dreadful grammar in a post earlier today......

I have just had a look at my profile and could not believe how many typos's there were in it (thanks iPhone and you're predictive text). It made me wonder...

Are there lots of atrocious profiles on here and does it put you off??

Oh, and to the person I was irritated with this morning, I am very sorry. I'm so glad I didn't say anything

Some people may have learning difficulties some people maybe lazy and sone are just not good at spelling... If it irritates you just move onto the next one..I never judge a books by its cover...

I laugh at the profiles and forum rants that state no txt speak then use loads in their profile such as txt instead of text,

but

do these count as abbreviations or txt speak , mmm ok go for it rant away

This day and age, spell check and grammar checking can easily performed with a few clicks.

Not to do so is a sign of laziness, regardless of one's intelligence or ability to learn, IMHO!

I agree not sure why people get so hung up on it, if they don't want to meet them then move on

There's a big difference to me between a few spelling mistakes or the odd bit of bad grammar and blatant laziness and text speak. Some people just aren't very good at spelling/grammar. I know mine is probably far from perfect. But you can usually tell the genuine mistakes from the ones where people can't be bothered.

Meh life is too short to worry about perfect spelling and grammar on and online forum, if it's an official letter or document that's another story.

We all make instant judgements.

Some of the people We have met have had really poor spelling and grammar, they were still nice people and very sexy too.

Initially, I suppose, We assumed that someone who took care to use proper English in their profile would be equally careful in their social habits.

Not sure if you're being ironic here...but as you''ve brought up the subject of dreadful grammar.....

'Typos's.'..... that is just awful

You're.. do you mean your.

Is there any easy way to check grammar on a phone? I often read back things I've written and think they might be incorrect but aside from autocorrect for spelling I've not come across one? Maybe there's an app? X

You erroneously changed iPhone to I Phone, if you want to be even more pedantic.

when I'm using my phone my spelling and grammar is not very good. I try to be non-judgemental about stuff like that but the use of "of" instead of "have" really does make me bristle

I totally agree, I was lazy and did not go back over what I had written. For some reason I presumed that because I can spell, I can also type!

Don't know about tablets as I don't have or use one.

However, grammar checking is non-existent on my phone.

I must admit not to grammar-check often, as I would like to be I am correct most of the time.

Besides, I can always use the excuse that English is not my first language!

so how can it be lazy not to check if checking is non existant

There is a big difference between those who don't care, and those who do care yet can't do anything about it, IMHO.

I admit to making assumptions at times, however, I am not usually wrong with my gut-feel and assumptions.

Maybe they do not speak English as their native language. I know a couple, she is not from the U.k. and his typing is terrible,and yet they are lovely people.Very happy I was not put of by their grammer

And I know my grammer is rubbish as well.
