Puts us off people who have poor spelling/grammar. Probably opening myself up to the onslaught also but oh well I'm so pleased it isn't just us Xx" Full stop. | |||

"Question marks at the end of statements ???? Exclamation marks would be more appropriate ???? I went to the shops today ???? I think my head will fucking explode if I see another statement ending in question marks ???? Oh shit too late ????" I think that's just how they talk in Australia? Apparently they learnt it from Neighbours? (Back in the day) | |||

"Couldn't give a shit, I'd be more worried if I got depressed by someone else's spelling" Well, I really don't want to be a grammar/spelling Nazi but sometimes it is so bad that I can't actually understand what is being written. Punctuation is vital, really. And the depression comes not just from this forum but also from my job, where I have to read lots of documents written by adults who have either not bothered or not learnt to spell properly. It really isn't that much effort, is it? | |||

"It's "SHOULD OF" that gets to me, I can't handle it " Yes, fucking hate that. Regional accents are part of our culture and one shouldn't be too critical. But in the 'Black Country' there is a weird pronunciation phenomena which as a displaced southener I find odd and rather irritating. Phone is pronounced Fowun, Road is Row-ud, June Joo-wun, but it can also be completely random with oddities like Town = T-ow-wun. Tbh they seem to make it up as they go along and it becomes more like an affectation. | |||

" *Queens* And if only that itself had been correct, your supercilious twaddle of an OP wouldn't have just fallen flat on its face. " I think that is a bit strong. What we do on here is assess people and decide if we have an attraction to them. As a great many people state, attraction is as often mental as it is physical. If someone cannot even be bothered to write entire words or check that what they have written is legible or correct then there is a chance that there will be little or no mental connection if you do value the ability to communicate. An ability which is a central tenet of human civilisation after all and without which we would struggle to have evolved. Some people do not value that and they are welcome to that opinion and long may they prosper. However denigrating those who value certain traits is rather short sighted and perhaps a little sad. | |||

" Black Country is in reference to the industrial revolution when the high level of coal mines, iron foundries and steel mills left the area with high levels of air pollution caused by soot from the industries.

That statement makes u sound arrogant and ignorant. Has it crossed your mind that some people are dyslexic and cant always get their spellings right. And what makes you think they would want to bother with an ignorant personality like yours seeing you cant even challenge your thought and have a wider view before making your assumptions. i think its a bit shallow minded to reduce mental attraction to ones ability to write, you never know,,, the man you condemn for not writing good english might just be better than you in bed and fuck your wife good | |||

Those are your values and welcome you are to them. However I did not say that the only outlet for mental attraction is the ability to communicate. However it is one facet which many people value. However taking every differing argument as some sort of attack (undoubtedly you will deny this) and responding in an aggressive manner is another facet which people may or may not turn people off. As is assuming that the writer of a post is male. And that he is married. But each to their own. | |||

"I'd like to know what would happen if you met someone in a club, got on really well had repeat meets then saw their written English and it was poor? " When the only medium which you have to communicate is written English then it can limit some people's desire to interface with a person. In a club communication is seldom exclusively written and as such verbal communication is used to inform bystanders of your personality. If you communicated verbally in a dreadful way I am sure some people would be turned off in a similar vein. This is a site where impressions are important to people and communication forms the gateway to a person's personality.

And what makes you think they would want to bother with an ignorant personality like yours seeing you cant even challenge your thought and have a wider view before making your assumptions. i think its a bit shallow minded to reduce mental attraction to ones ability to write, you never know,,, the man you condemn for not writing good english might just be better than you in bed and fuck your wife good Grand. Those are your values and welcome you are to them. However I did not say that the only outlet for mental attraction is the ability to communicate. However it is one facet which many people value. However taking every differing argument as some sort of attack (undoubtedly you will deny this) and responding in an aggressive manner is another facet which people may or may not turn people off. As is assuming that the writer of a post is male. And that he is married. But each to their own. get off your high horses then and walk a mile in the shoes of dyslexic people who cant write properly. Stop generalising interractions with them as less mentally stimulating.. its not as if writing words perfectly matters when in bed with a naked gorgeous woman" Writing words perfectly matters a lot to a gorgeous woman if grammar is a value of hers. People tend to like being around people who align to their values. | |||

"It's "SHOULD OF" that gets to me, I can't handle it Yes, fucking hate that. Regional accents are part of our culture and one shouldn't be too critical. But in the 'Black Country' there is a weird pronunciation phenomena which as a displaced southener I find odd and rather irritating. Phone is pronounced Fowun, Road is Row-ud, June Joo-wun, but it can also be completely random with oddities like Town = T-ow-wun. Tbh they seem to make it up as they go along and it becomes more like an affectation. Just out of curiousity what countries u referrin to as black country ? A little bit of common sense goes a long way. Countries are defined by a name eg nigeria, wales, china etc they are not defined by a colour. Countries also make up continents and continents make up the world. send your wife my way so i send you some educational leaflets through her Aren't the midlands referred to as the Black Country? It's nothing to do with colour. Black Country is in reference to the industrial revolution when the high level of coal mines, iron foundries and steel mills left the area with high levels of air pollution caused by soot from the industries. Nothing to do with races of people lol." Exactly that, alongside the coal seams - and the Black Country is a small part of the midlands, covering what would have been small parts of Staffordshire, Worcestershire though now largely in the West Midlands - but a small part of that nonetheless. Great people and a heritage that's done much for the UK. | |||

" *Queens* And if only that itself had been correct, your supercilious twaddle of an OP wouldn't have just fallen flat on its face. I think that is a bit strong. What we do on here is assess people and decide if we have an attraction to them. As a great many people state, attraction is as often mental as it is physical. If someone cannot even be bothered to write entire words or check that what they have written is legible or correct then there is a chance that there will be little or no mental connection if you do value the ability to communicate. An ability which is a central tenet of human civilisation after all and without which we would struggle to have evolved. Some people do not value that and they are welcome to that opinion and long may they prosper. However denigrating those who value certain traits is rather short sighted and perhaps a little sad. oh boy, may i spark your brain a little here.

No one mentioned dyslexic people and no one has judged them. However simply not being able to write in a coherent way does not make you dyslexic. I might as well have a go at you for discriminating against people who only have really small horses as they cannot get on their high horse. It is totally fatuous and irrelevant. Why can you not get over the fact that some people (we have not even said if we subscribe to this idea) find people who cannot be bothered to write properly when they otherwise have no reason not to, a turn off. Your tone is increasingly hysterical. People are at liberty to find specific traits in people attractive or not attractive and you are not the person to adjudicate on what people may or may not be attracted to. Please climb down off your own horse however tall it may be and join us all in the pub. | |||

"I'd like to know what would happen if you met someone in a club, got on really well had repeat meets then saw their written English and it was poor? When the only medium which you have to communicate is written English then it can limit some people's desire to interface with a person. In a club communication is seldom exclusively written and as such verbal communication is used to inform bystanders of your personality. If you communicated verbally in a dreadful way I am sure some people would be turned off in a similar vein. This is a site where impressions are important to people and communication forms the gateway to a person's personality. Therefore different people react variously to different communication techniques. It is their choice. " By saying some peoples desire to interface with someone is determined by the correctness of their spellings is more or less saying you cant be bothered to make an effort to put the pieces of their words together and decode it. Boils down to your tolerance level of those without the priviledge of a good education. You also mentioned the bit about if you are in a club and you communicated verbally in a dreadful way while chatting up a girl some people would be turned off. I agree spoken words is necessary to break the ice but people would form an impression of you anyway based on your body language not necessarily your spoken words or the correctness of your spoken words or the contents of the words that comes out of your mouth, this is where the other most prominent sensory organs plays the most important part in communication and it happens on a subconscious level.... ive approached posh women and even grammar nazis at uni and my style and choice of words were totally street slangs and yet managed to get their number and get in their knickers. Another factor that influences interraction regardless of good spoken english in clubs is the ' opposite syndrome effect ' . This is where people of opposite values ( eg a grammar nazi and a person who cant spell properly ) feel an attraction towards one another on a chemical level, its the law of nature - opposites attract, explains why you hear the term 'good girls go for badboys ' and this often happens a lot at clubs,, nothing to do with the correctness of their words. And yes you are right, different people will react variously to different communication techniques cos we are not all the same but you can atleast take your time to view things from a dyslexics point of view from time to time | |||

"I'm not the best speller nor great with grammar, however I do find it a huge turn on knowing I'm chatting with a professional/smart guy. I picture him sat suited and booted which I adore. Although he's probably on the sofa in joggers, scratching his balls " How did you guess?! I'm not a fan of bad spelling and grammar but only because I wish to read and take in what that person is saying. You're letting yourself down if you can't express yourself in a way that the recipient can't understand. | |||

" Quite possibly; however the only time you'll find me criticising someone's spelling or grammar is when they start a post criticising that of others. Then I tend to go to town. Poor English could be down to dyslexia, fat-fingers, auto-cucumber, carelessness or simply that the person wasn't fortunate to receive the education like wot I did got. Sometimes it can also be humour. I have known amazing people who couldn't read or write, and Oxford graduates who were complete, arrogant, contemptuous twits. Besides, let's face it, if that Keira Knightley asked me over, I wouldn't turn her down just because she split an infinitive, I wonder if the OP would... | |||
