I have noticed that I hit the P instead of the O in many messages. I type fast, have fat thumbs and rarely proof read before posting. Not so much in the general forums but with people i chat often with, I imagine it must be like an anagram puzzle sometimes trying to work out what the hell i'm on about.

Is that lazy ? Maybe. As Miss Licla said above, if it bothers you that mich I doubt we are that suited to one another.

I also seem to struggle with i and e placement. The whole I before E except after C is untrue and is no longer taught in schools.

whomever is wrong in this example. I only point it out because of the nature of the thread. I/He/She/Who/Whoever DOES something. Something is DONE to or with Me/Him/Her/Whom/Whomever. Importantly, it matters not if one is accompanied so "Tarquin invited me to the club" is correct (but unlikely - I know no Tarquin) as is "Tarquin invited her and me". Many would erroneous use "She and I" because of a prevailing ignorance in those who should know better beating the error into us as children.

It doesn't necessarily put me off. But without correct spelling and grammar I do often find it difficult to understand, and that would put me off from the perspective of just not having the patience to pursue the messaging.

Also, when people just drop a stream of consciousness in a message without you 'knowing' the way their mind works. That's a huge turn off for me. I mean if I have to ask for a translation or explanation every time that's waaaay too much effort for likely too little reward.

There's a spectrum of bad spelling. Pobody's nerfect, casual communication demands less precision, and I'd never want to criticise when it's a case of dyslexia.

But sometimes it's laziness, sometimes people write things that are genuinely unintelligible. It takes work to decipher really mangled text.

It bothers me when it makes my life harder, I allow some grace for it, but after a certain point, it is going to grate.

Depends on the what, where and why of it.

Texts no, but profile and static things yes.

Texts you fire off quickly and can't always correct (looking at you fab).

But the other you can take time over and fix stuff at any point.

So one is just a 'whoops' and the other is a 'don't care' which tells a tale.

I've been diagnosed with ADHD, and I'm forever missing out words, or the odd letter, here-and-there as I'm typing without noticing. Same for just hitting the wrong letter on the keypad without noticing 'cause I type too bloody fast, so it'd be hypocritical of me to get annoyed when it's things like that, dyslexia, etc.

I feel feels like that you can usually sense when reading whatever it is, but for some reason, I do get a wee bit annoyed when folk just aren't even trying to understand and are just using the wrong words, grammar and punctuation all the time.

At a point, yes. Not if you're misspelling the odd word or whatever, or if you use slang (so long as I can pick it up). And I don't care about silly rules like double-negatives or whatever else - people express themselves in different ways and the language is big enough for all of us.

If you're consistently misspelling/mistyping/whatever then it comes off as if you don't care - at least read back what you wrote to ensure it makes sense, for example.

no because if i have an interest in someone my first question isnt to ask 'can I hAve A samPle oF yOuR haNd wriTIng pleaSe' and then check it like some professor.

look. people who go around spell checking and pulling people up on grammar were bullied at school and do it because it makes them feel superior. truth is half of them are posting a reply in their mums house with trousers around the ankles.

If it's not done on purpose then it doesn't really bother me as I know it can be a struggle for some people and don't want to judge and some words are fucking tough to spell! It could also be an auto-corrext issue where they're brain is faster than they're typing as it can look a bit weird.

If it's deliberately done text speak, then I'd see it as a bit of a lack of effort and it can put me off.

Bad spelling, poor grammar, text speak, not using spellcheck or autocorrect, all of which is guaranteed to turn me away.

"I guess the title says it all "

Generally speaking, no, as long as it is readable. I have ADHD, so my fingers struggle to keep up the racing thoughts in my brain, resulting in regular typing errors. It’s annoying, but I can’t help it.

As a dyslexic teenager, I had to sit English O level 5 times to get a pass in the days when every spelling mistake lost a mark. As a result I had to learn the hard way how to write properly.

So now two or three spelling mistakes in one 10 word sentence is irritating. But recently it has got worse. WTF is "YOUS"??? "You" is both singular and plural. It does not need an extra "s". 😡

Statistically 10% of people in Britain are dyslexic and 80% of those people are on Fab. 😂😂

“Yous” is just the way many people, especially working class, speak in West Central Scotland.

They say yous to distinguish the plural "you" from the singular, a gap in standard English. It is likely borrowed from Irish English, and adds an "-s" to clarify a group is being addressed.

Basics, yeah - could of 🙄, not knowing the difference between they’re/their/there and two/to/too 🙄, using an apostrophe to pluralise lady 🙄, and we don’t speak bingo (“Do u want 2?” - “NOPE!!”)

I’ve noticed that a majority of those who appear to have massive Issues with grammar and spelling errors are middle class, and are often snobbish and condescending. Not everyone, but such people do seem to be disproportionately represented. Perhaps it’s another way to look down on the “uneducated plebs”. Snobbery and classism in Britain is unfortunately still a huge problem, especially in Southern England.

Nothing to do with class at all. There are people on here mispelling 2 letter words.

I disagree. Are you denying classism and snobbery exist in the UK, and that it shows in different ways? A shitload of research and personal experiences prove otherwise.

Typing errors occur. Having ADHD, it a common occurrence for me.

You're the ultimate working class warrior. Bet you're a fan of nonce fc. You can just tell that you have a dislike for the English and it comes from you being a plastic paddy.

Excuse me? How dare you try to speak to me in that manner! It’s bang out of order. If you must know, my ancestry is Scottish, Ulster Scots and English. My family was in the Orange Lodge for years, and my ex-boyfriend, who I’m still close to, is English. Get your facts straight in future!
