FabSwingers.com forum: Guys who use shit spelling.

Not bad spelling, but shit, lazy spelling such as:

"wos up gurl am felin hawne u want met?". ( Obviously they probably wouldn't use the '?', but even i have a limit.)

Guys, does it ever work? I only ask because doing it the "old fashioned" way doesn't seem to work either!

I have an aversion to really bad spelling. I can understand with the difficult words but honestly are instead of our, could of instead of could have

I can slmost forgive the confusion between Two too and to or there their and they're but the thing that really puts me off is text speak. Just downright laziness. Makes me wonder if they would speak in abbreviations if I met them in person.

Ugh yes. This is very near the top of the long list of things that will put me right off a person.

"U wana suk me bb"

No I really don't, thank you.

It makes me feel like a totally elitist snob but I can't help my reaction any more than I can help disliking cider. For instance : )

Mind you, on reflection a grammatically perfect message like that would also go straight in the bin, so that probably wasn't the best example.

And for people struggling with dyslexia (like my self) it's a real piss take, because I then have difficilty reading the word.

Also, note I did try to write "strugle" about 4 times but not sure on spelling. Still not convinced that is the correct spelling. Damn you dyslexia!

Well I don't use text speak but my spelling is poor (I'm dyslexic). Having said that hopefully by the quality, content and the use of a wide (altgough sometimes misspelt) vocabulary people can see I'm no dummy. After all we don't need words to be spelt 100% accurately for our brains to decipher them correctly. Although I do wonder over time how many people have thrown me into the bin pile for bad spelling and grammar before examining the content of my words?

If it can't be deciphered in one pass i.e. text speak, no punctuation or upper case, stupid words.... it goes straight in the bin.

No problem with spelling mistakes, shit happens as they say and the same with grammar BUT it needs to be understandable which, as I understand it, is the whole purpose of sending someone a message.

"If it can't be deciphered in one pass i.e. text speak, no punctuation or upper case, stupid words.... it goes straight in the bin.

No problem with spelling mistakes, shit happens as they say and the same with grammar BUT it needs to be understandable which, as I understand it, is the whole purpose of sending someone a message.

I had one this morning with random capitals throughout.

I saw a forum post like this today, every word started with a capital letter.

Most languages are constantly evolving, with new spellings and definitions being applied frequently. I notice a lot of people complaining about text speak are using short form contractions (I'm, I've etc) which were the "text speak" of their day. English isn't my first language, but it's the hardest one I've learned - the spelling of words such as "through", "rough", "bough" and "thorough" make absolutely no sense to me!

" Not bad spelling, but shit, lazy spelling such as:

"wos up gurl am felin hawne u want met?". ( Obviously they probably wouldn't use the '?', but even i have a limit.)

Guys, does it ever work? I only ask because doing it the "old fashioned" way doesn't seem to work either!

Dear outraged, how dare you put a full-stop inside the closed bracket to signal end of sentence.

I have an aversion to really bad spelling. I can understand with the difficult words but honestly are instead of our, could of instead of could have

Lecturer used "could of" in PowerPoint - i was utterly gobsmacked.

Literally though, all these examples make me shudder. But do you know what the worst one is?

Lol.

I very much doubt you are laughing out loud, Sir; you have just told me that you had a jacket potato for dinner and I fail to see the humour in that.

That’s fine, because the whole sentence is in parentheses. The closing bracket would only go before the full stop if it was just part of the sentence in parentheses. The space after the opening bracket is an issue, though.

Text speak is a little different. “I’m” and “I’ve” are contractions in the spoken word, which assist in less cumbersome dialogue, a more natural, flowing way to speak. Text speak is largely borne out of the technological constraints of early SMS. It can assist speedier, clearer or more natural dialogue, but often it obfuscates and complicates communication.

And, while there are examples of formerly ‘incorrect’ grammar becoming accepted as correct (like beginning a sentence with ‘and’, as I just did) those are few and far between. They are also, usually, also carried over from the spoken word. While ‘could/would/should of’ may become increasingly widespread, they are unlikely to ever be accepted or adopted as correct usage.

There’s a fair chance that ‘lol’ has sufficiently ingrained itself into the language that it will in time be recognised, although its use still hasn’t settled enough, in terms of consistency of meaning and usage, for that to be guaranteed.

And that still doesn’t mean that we have to like it...

Are you ever going to say anything of value when you reply to my posts? Ever going to contribute anything to the discussion? Or just going to post the eye-rolling emoji? Because it’s fucking pathetic. Get a life.

Since it is an interjection following on from the previous sentence then the bracketed sentence should follow a comma or semi colon. Then I'd be correct in what i previously stated. *Blows raspberry*
