"How put off are you by bad spelling, grammar and punctuation in messages? Eg. Using the wrong your or there? Personally I am immediately turned off by this sort of thing, but maybe I'm just a judgmental bitch... "I agree with you. However, there are times when I make mistakes or don't check the message before I send it that it looks like I am one of those whom you make judgements about. It will be interesting to see further responses. | |||

Some people unfortunately rush type what’s in their Brain. Spelling is forgivable - Grammar however can change the tone & pitch - I struggle with reading that | |||

As you can see by this thread it’s just not important to them hence the compatibility issue. | |||

"I think all of those are important but i don't judge others as it could be because they are dyslexic or didn't have the same education as others. Personally I'm dyslexic and find it very difficult and no amount of spell check etc helps. I find it sad that people would think less of me (and others) despite the effort made. | |||

"Disregarding people based on spelling and grammar unfairly targets immigrants, people with learning difficulties and people from lower socio economic backgrounds who may not have had the same access to education as yourself. It's a bit of a low blow honestly and says more about you than it does about them. At the end of the day we're all here for the same thing, and it's not for someone to write us a sonnet." Totally agree.....and these kinda people would actually be doing me a favour by ignoring or deleting my messages. If that's how ignorant and sad they are in their shallow little worlds I'd rather not know them. I think it says a lot about the person when they demonstrate this self-righteous characteristic. I imagine them to be part of the "Hyacinth Bucket brigade" with their fake snobbery....or as someone else once said, "all fur coat and no knickers" | |||

"I am dyslexic and it takes me quite a while to type, check, double check and then triple check what I have written before posting. Even then I often cock it up and end up having to delete a post and start again. It’s not that I’m not putting the effort in, it’s just the way my brain works.

But I appreciate that it can be a challenge to some people.
I'm not going to judge someone because of a formal lack of sentence construction or odd typo / spelling mistake.

Can I send someone a message and have a nice conversation on the back of it? That's important to me.

Text speak is a different matter:
One, I don't understand it.
Two, it just feels lazy and creates an initial feeling that I'm not going to connect with the person or people behind that profile.
But that's my opinion.
It's a forum, we all get judged, profiles get judged and sadly some decide to be 'Nasty' and pull people up over irrelevant things.
A fine line behind constructive and just outright 'dick' behaviour. | |||

"If someone decides they want to correct anything I've sent in a message or via a forum post? Then I'm happy for them to do so. I've never grasped the concept of the English language (in terms of grammar, construct etc.). I'm more maths orientated than language focused. I happily get by, so if it corrects something I've never understood? Then it's good to still learn.
But I appreciate that it can be a challenge to some people.

" Yes exactly different things are important to different people .. I just can’t make it less important the same way others have things that are important to them. Just the way people are I guess " - So very true. That's one of the amazing experiences of being on Fab and around this lifestyle. We find attraction in those things that mean something to us. Likewise... We'll use whatever criteria we decide upon to pass 'judgement' around people. From the style of photos, to the wording and information on a a profile or how a message is presented and sent. We are all different, and enjoying differing experiences from the site. Ultimately it's something that's important to you so why lower your standards as such. | |||

It's a perfectly reasonable requirement on your part (and mine).
Communication is key to me. I need my brain engaged before I can even consider having sex. And let's be honest, while meets/clubs are banned, crafting a good opening message is paramount.
Conversely, if lack of grammar, spelling mistakes and use of text speak DOESN'T bother you, don't have a go. Just move on
Nah hands up it was a bitchy joke ...
Still important to me but I should have cringed and scrolled on - still an essential part for me and always will be but I’m not a bitch.
Aye, maybe....
But calling you snobbish, assuming you're bigotted, etc? Way out of order x
Yeah but it’s strangers on the internet they don’t know me or anything about me. Thank you for the support though and I totally agree xx "No problem. I assume they're attacking me, too. Xx | |||

"Disregarding people based on spelling and grammar unfairly targets immigrants, people with learning difficulties and people from lower socio economic backgrounds who may not have had the same access to education as yourself. It's a bit of a low blow honestly and says more about you than it does about them. At the end of the day we're all here for the same thing, and it's not for someone to write us a sonnet." | |||

"Bad grammar or spelling doesn't bother me too much as I've often posted without reading what I have written then see I've made mistakes in a post. Plus some people have difficulty with writing so I would never judge them on it. Text speech I really don't like because that is done on purpose and basically I'm too old to be bothered to try and translate it a lot of the time. I do find it quite funny when people come on here correcting people's grammar but making mistakes themselves. " Yes, the classic 'putting oneself a pedestal' conundrum!

"Not too worried about things like "there" and "their" as that can often be a sign of dyslexia and many dyslexic people are very intelligent, just not great at spelling. (Grammar is a different skill!) I dislike text speak intensely and that would be an instant turn off." Really well said, I know quite a few people that are dyslexic, most are very intelligent in their own way. To me intelligence is not measured by spelling or a degree. Yes text speak infuriates me.
