I think spelling and grammar are as indicative as to ones intelligence and education, in the same manner that my left bollock accurately Predicts the weather.

Firstly in life how do we judge pretty and intelligence. If it's your own scale that's fine by myself. From my experiences in life I find people who are generally intelligent academically are not always the sharpest tools when it comes to other forms of intelligence. Just because somebody cannot string great sentences and spelling together doesn't mean they are not intelligent. I have worked with engineers in the past who struggle to read and write but they have designed built and created wonderful pieces of work. Are they intelligent or not ?? | |||

Yes it does matter to me, I understand dyslexia but if you know you have a problem then make sure you have a spell checker on the phone or laptop. Bad spelling really does make a difference.
I am sure on occasion I make mistakes but it isnt constant.  Especially as the phone types what it likes sometimes. LOL | |||

"Sorry, but I'm a bit of a stickler for spelling and punctuation. I believe good spelling and punctuation shows education, and to some degree, says something about the person. I admit it's a prejudice, but in relationships, we're entitled to have our choices. If we receive a reply poorly expressed in written form, it does put us off immediately, even if the writer would be compatible. Think of a job application. If the recipient found poor spelling and punctuation on the form, the candidate would be likely to be put at the back of the rest. It's prejudicial, but so are all relationship choices. It's really no different on here to be honest." If I were applying for a job, or writing a formal letter or report then I'd be inclined to agree with you. However I'm not, I'm attempting to engage in social conversation, and if I feel the recipient is going to be critically marking the conversation like a GCSE or A level examiner, then I'm likely to feel uncomfortable, not be myself or simply not bother. Coincidentally, in my opinion, unless one is professionally qualified or trained in the manner of an English teacher, professor or examiner, then I'm not sure one should appoint oneself as such to be examining another's spelling or grammar, as it's quite possible such scrutiny wouldn't be at a conventionally agreed standard. | |||

"I don't think it's a case of somebody marking someone like a teacher. It's about putting out your response and receiving a reply. If it's badly constructed and indicates a poor attitude to conventional norms, at the very least, it shows a slapdash response. As mentioned earlier, we have spell checkers, Google and many sources of information which could be used to construct a coherent message. Surely, at the very least, they could run a spell check. " Of course, your preferences are your own and shouldn't be knocked or judged. Personally speaking, we are more concerned about the conversation being polite, respectful, interesting, and mutually inclusive rather than how it's presented. | |||

I can't be fucked deciphering a message and I like well written prose - I find it a turn on.

"I've noticed a growing trend recently where people make what are clearly statements, but follow them up with multiple question marks. For example, I've seen: "Hi, I'm Nicole, and I love dogs ??" OK. Right. Are you asking me if you love dogs? Are you confused as to the reason(s) why you love dogs? That really grinds my gears for some reason! I'll admit to ignoring more than one message on another site from what I'm sure were otherwise perfectly lovely people because of that. " It happens with emoticons that aren't supported...like when someone tries to use the ones on their phone...smiley faces turn into question marks | |||

A messages with the odd spelling mistake and a missing full stop here and there wouldn't bother us in the slightest. Total text speak that resembles the texts you used to send on a 3210 so you didn't take up too many character and get charged for two texts. Then yeah it wouldn't spark much interest. | |||

"The irony of this post is great. People clearly checking and checking again before they post to it
Spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes occur. Just like we all make everyday mistakes. But if it angers you so much. Then so be it "That's the difference for us. A few mistakes are fine, but there comes a point where it's evident people are being lazy, more so with spelling than grammar and punctuation. Lack of punctuation just makes it hard to read correctly. | |||

"To be honest my argument with the wife is people with half a brain can read straight through grammer and spelling mistakes anyway so why does it matter ? ." Fwiw - many people with dyslexia can struggle to read poorly written text. They are often extremely intelligent and have far more than "half a brain". My partner who I live with for example is heavily dyslexic. He writes very badly and struggles to read poorly composed messages from people (who write like he does). But he is a computer scientist at the top of the ladder and writes code like... Well... Better than I can write English (and I'm a writer). So it's not always about having half a brain. It's about giving yourself the best possible chance of success with the people who you would like to meet. | |||

"Everybody makes the odd typo from time to time, but a message full of bad grammar or spelling would put me off a bit. Not that I can afford to filter out messages on here for that reason! One pet hate I've noticed a lot of recently is people mixing up "been" and "being", "seen" and "seeing" and "non" and "none" which does make me wonder if people really don't understand the difference between these completely different words?" And when people use "are" when they should use "our". The people who read the letters sent to The Jeremy Kyle Show must see this one a lot! | |||

"I do as to me it indicates someone's education and intellectual ability. As well as it being careless. I know a lot of pp on here don't care about it but when you are thinking about being intimate with someone, for me, there has to be an intellectual connection and since lack of education seems to be correlated with a lack of critical thinking and right wing views, I'm sorry but I do use lack of grammar to filter out those people that I don't want to spend my time with... Happy to hear other points of view and I'm aware that pp can be dyslexic etc but I guess it's just a filter... OP. You open your profile telling everybody you are intelligent and pretty. Firstly in life how do we judge pretty and intelligence. If it's your own scale that's fine by myself. From my experiences in life I find people who are generally intelligent academically are not always the sharpest tools when it comes to other forms of intelligence. Just because somebody cannot string great sentences and spelling together doesn't mean they are not intelligent. I have worked with engineers in the past who struggle to read and write but they have designed built and created wonderful pieces of work. Are they intelligent or not ??" I know an Engineer who was awarded a National Engineering Award despite being Dyslexic. The actual irony lies in the OP having grammatical errors in their opening post and some later contributors alao uaing my favourite lazy tool..... | |||

If someone is dyslexic I hope they would use spell check or explain their lack of spelling/grammar to me in the message. I don't arrange to meet if the spelling/grammar is bad. I think it either indicates lack of maturity or lack of effort. M x | |||

"Some of the messages I get sent just don't make sense.." That is what I tend to get - poor spelling and no punctuation = a message I have no idea how to reply to! A lot of these messages are sent by guys with really poor profiles, so if they can't be bothered why should I bother to try to translate their equally poor messages? It just makes for a really hard conversation to have | |||

"Bad spelling and grammar is off-putting for us, in this day and age especially with predictive text, there's not really an excuse. xx"Predictive text doesn't improve your grammar, it just means you are more likely to send a message containing a totally inappropriate or unrelated word (I use you in the general sense not as in you personally) | |||

"For me it depends, if it's an obvious spelling mistake then fine we all make them. If it is a message which requires a translator then I'm not going to sit and try work out what it says because someone is too lazy to type the word 'you'" Pretty much the same as this. I can accept people's errors. I make lots myself, and the speed I tap away at my phone to post on s thread means, i very rarely look back and read through before I press post. And bad grammar to me just means you got a C in English and not an A star, or you talk the way geography has tought you. (I'm near Bolton, some of the phrases I have to google myself) But, I see posts with absolute disregard to making it illegible and I cringe. If this is what is sent in messages I fear it's not the best impression. | |||
