Sitting here quietly reading through various forum posts. Does anyone agree that a future requirement of joining the site SHOULD be the ability to write basic English?

Nope people use there phone auto correct takes over and often corrects things without the poster realising I'm a terrible culprit for this but I can assure you that I am well above basic English. This is for recreational use I don't want to use a thesaurus and dictionary before every post

My initial reaction was and emphatic YES!

Good English does matter

But then I thought what would I do if I got a badly written message asking to meet from a lovely Polish or Latvian girl?

Or a girl from India, Russia, or anywhere else for that matter!

No, why should they.

Remember that for some people, English may not be their first language.

Then there's people that suffer dyslexia.

Rather than criticising someone's writing style, concentrate on the essence of the thread instead.

It's 'an ability', not 'the ability' - there is no need for the definitive article here.

Oh and run on sentences are annoying.

But, to answer your question, no.

No.

An ability to be genuine is far more important, but we can't test for that...

Maybe, when people take the time to get things right it shows they actually care about what they are doing. The message itself then becomes something in itself and not a means to an end.

Anything other than the correct use of the English language points to laziness,, or, their lack of understanding of what it is they are trying to convey.

If that came into being should an age limit follow say 65 shortly after? After all we have a minimum age of 18 so why not.

It matters if it doesn't make sense and someone is expecting people to read and understand and maybe comment on their input but a typo or a spelling mistake makes little difference if its understandable.

I do feel that a good command of the English language is a guide to character and personality.

So if I had to chose between an erudite gentleman with manners and some half-baked bumpkin... then I'd probably chose - um, er.....

I think it's easy to be critical of others ,give me a stunning looking girl with a witty sense of humour but occasionally makes the odd spelling mistake over an old hag who has a degree in the English language and no personality any day

Personally I think unless you can actually use the English language correctly and faultlessly you really shouldn't be trying to show others up, it just makes you look more of a fool

I noticed your first post (as far as I could see) was grammatically correct and with good punctuation.

Now the beginning of your sentences lack a capitol letter.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't using a capitol letter at the beginning of sentences, names, places and so on one of the first things they teach us at school, you know "basic English" ?

Anyway, for if you have failed to work it out yet, No we don't agree with your first post because...

... we all make mistakes.

Interesting, but no....it's a noun. A Voyeur watches or looks or sees but s/he can't 'voy' or do some 'voyeuring'.

NOOOOOOO!

When I worked as a Civil Engineer, I worked with some amazing people: one who could write only his name, another only knew the English word 'yes'; (which led to some interesting, if confusing, initial discussions!) In neither case did I ever consider myself even as good as they were.

Personally we are not here to judge people on the basis of how fortunate they were with their education, we are simply here to have fun.
