Hmmm.

Spelling isn't something that comes easily to everybody, one of my brothers is very dyslexic, he is a skilled craftsman much respected in his field, nobody cares that he can't read, write or spell very well.

Personally I believe it's more important to listen to what people are saying rather than how they're saying it.

I do however think that comprehension of the written word is important but so is being able to set thoughts down on paper clearly so that the reader can easily understand them.

I hear you, I'm not too pedantic about spelling. It's just something that gets coupled with poor sentence structure, which is where it becomes difficult to understand what the other person is saying. For example, if someone doesn't use you're and your correctly it's not a big deal. But wen dis lyk talk den how u get

Also English isn't everyone's first language.

This kind of threads always come across as a little ableist

For many on here English isn't their first language. Their English is better than our spelling in their language

I'm only on fab for the good grammar, said nobody ever.

It may influence who you decide to meet but beyond that just practice understanding what they are saying, you'll get there eventually.

A good driver anticipates the errors of a bad one and avoids a crash. They don't moan and drive into them deliberately because they are in the right.

I have to say that I can decipher most things, it's a skill you develop from having a dyslexic brother and a lot of non English speakers in the family. I think your last sentence means 'when you talk like this how can I understand?' I admit though I'd find it tiring and probably wouldn't want to spend much time with someone who spoke exactly like that.

Full disclosure here, I can't stand 'could of' and 'should of' but I'm learning to live with it

Becoming a bug bear of mine too..

On occasion we are all guilty of what I call fat finger syndrome, hitting wrong letter.

Though it can also be a way of filtering in that if one doesn't like another's form of composition its unlikely you'll be suitable in bedroom..

Good sex comes when folk have things in common..

Txtspk was fine, when you had to pass a number so many times to get the right letter, and message length was limited

But we all have smart phones, tablets etc, with full onscreen keyboards and even dictation, for those with dyslexia.

Messages which are unnecessary short, just seem to imply lack of interest and attention (I may overlook this if the person is hot)
