Agreed... We can all make mistakes, especially when using predictive text, and I'm as guilty as anyone for not proof reading in a hasty rush to send, but I do like/need a certain level of "eloquence and articulation". Each to their own though.

. It depends on the reasons for the poor spelling and how many mistakes there are . Spelling is important and is a perfectly valid reason for turning down a meet .

If someone's not British, that's fine, whatever.

But, if English is someone's first language and their spelling is shit, that's a big flag that I might not have a world of stuff in common with someone. Which is, in my experience, a recipe for pretty shit sex.

Like, it's not the be all and end all or anything, but it's definitely a flag for me.

. However you can generally tell if someone has learning difficulties or if English is not their first language . When abroad , people in France will realize that French is not my native tongue .

I just find it bizarre people can judge someone over text, despite finding someone attractive.

It's not a fucking job interview, it's not a fucking essay being marked by an examiner...

If a little mistake here and there can make someone think another person is 'stupid' or 'lazy'(that is the implication really isn't it!), why not prove your theory by speaking to the person..it is a much better connection than reading typing..which in itself is just a form of cyber-communication.

Spelling mistakes are acceptable to us as not everyone has just came out of the education system or had very much call to use their brains in that direction for the past 30 years,What we do find a pain is the people who write in slang saying"a would" and "a have"..... Are they not familiar with the term I have and i am?....our grandchildren do not even spell like they talk

Although this is funny it does proove a point, even those that believe they are articulate with spelling and grammar often fall below their own high standards to the point of embarrassment. Shooting oneself in the foot is the term i believe.

Personality and humour are far more important qualities.

The quality of spelling and grammar on this site is pretty atrocious. I routinely block for this reason. You'd honestly be forgiven for thinking secondary school education and books had been denied the UK population for the last generation or two.

If I'm likely to cringe every time someone opens their mouth, I'm not going to meet them.

In addition to text speak (again, a blockable offence) the other thing my fellow Scottish members have to put up with is those who feel the need to communicate in some bastardised form of the Scots vernacular. For example, "Anywan wan tae meet me an ma pal the night? A cannae survive withoot ma daily dose of the boaby."

You can imagine what an indecipherable mess that becomes when it's mashed up with textspeak!

Dyslexic spelling isn't random and it's not the same thing as text speak.

Any reasonable person can spot the difference between a person making mistakes for dyslexia, being foreign or using predictive text (we are all 3) but someone writing the way Ali G speaks is a whole different thing.

It's frankly insulting to dyslexic people to lump them in with people that write in text speak because they think it's kewl. See what I did there?

Finally, what moron invented the word 'dyslexia' - it's like a bad joke. There are people that have trouble spelling so let's give them a name that's extremely hard to spell!

No more bizarre than judging someone by hair colour, size of tits, body size etc. It's a preference, not a preference that matters to you, but perfectly understandable that it matters to others. For goodness sake just accept that some people have different sensibilities to you. It doesn't make them bizarre or police or nazis.

The same threads on grammar and spelling have been continuing for many a year.

Every time it degrades people into either being 'lazy, or thick'.

I think it shows more about the grammar/spelling nazi's ability to effectively communicate with others at all levels. I've worked in many areas where I've seen barriers to communication being a challenge, I would never make the assumption that someone would be thick or lazy..

I've met a lot of people over the years..face to face communication or orally(on the phone I mean), if I had sat here examining every written communication I might see a few errors here and there..would it matter?..probably not, we met..we had fun.

So yes i find it a bit bizarre essentially meeting a stranger on the internet(that you have a sexual interest in),but then think they wont be for you because of spelling and grammar?-

As I suggested..would it be a huge harm to actually engage vocally with someone since they already have your sexual interest peaked?

Einstein did indeed suffer from dyslexia however he was also a theoretical physicist so people forgave his bad spelling not quite the same argument to wheel out time after time.

I'm not British, and I have rather excellent spelling and a fabulously well versed knowledge of grammar! Of course, I am an amateur at commenting in this forum, so if I mess up, I guess that means I'm careless in bed too.

There is no if , that is the correct amount if meets . The reason for using this number was to highlight how many people don't give a thought to how well one can spell .

One per day is not a correct assumption as we have multiple meets when we do go out . Not that it matters , but there we are .

As to whether we are concerned about whether our children will be able to spell properly . It's hard to see why this is relevant but here goes . Since we have our own business there will be ample scope for our 8 year old to join it if that's what he wants , whether he is a good speller or not .

What would be more relevant would be his ability to communicate and integrate with all members of society . We hope on a level that doesn't put him on some high and mighty pedestal , thus ostracising him from finding wonderful,people to share his life with .

any of you freedom fighters of the the enlgish language meet abroad and get fucked off as your spelling of their native tongue is not upto scratch. However you can generally tell if someone has learning difficulties or if English is not their first language . When abroad , people in France will realize that French is not my native tongue . "

Can we quit it with the dyslexia chat?

I don't think there's a person on here who would mistake spelling errors for the kind of misspelt words we're talking about.

The examples below have nothing to do with dyslexia (which affects written language more extensively), but are very specific and common mistakes which grate on myself and others, whether by poor spelling or punctuation:

Your/you're

Lose/loose

They're/there/their

It's/its

I would imagine that these few examples alone account for more than 50% of my irritation.

Excluding typos (which I am regularly responsible for), those who have a dyslexic condition and those for whom English is not their first language, I don't understand how someone can get to adulthood and not have gotten to grips with things like this.

Assuming English is your first language, you've spoken it since day one. You've read it. You've written it.

EVERY. DAMN. DAY.

There's not one of us who isn't bombarded with a daily dose of correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. Books, magazines, newspapers, the web, movie credits and subtitles, etc. The list is endless. I'm genuinely puzzled as to how year upon year in a person's life can go by, with all this perfectly written English being passively absorbed by the brain, yet still that brain doesn't manage to reproduce it when the time comes for its owner to write or type. After decades of this, I would've expected some kind of passive absorption to happen. Even without trying, a human being does learn when things simply don't look as they should, through pattern recognition if nothing else.

I'm not making a pointed attack on any one person here, nor any particular comment. I've already expressed my irritation at the errors discussed, which I am happy to accept others won't and shouldn't give a toss about. I'm just simply baffled as to how an adult with good eyesight can wind up unable to communicate correctly in their primary (and possibly only) spoken language.

If this were a site which was here to help people to spell , and to get a better understanding of English grammar , I would agree that the above was indeed an excellent , well written post . But since it is a swinging site , I would suggest it's still well written , but pointless post that has no relevance to the site . Other than to allow the poster to feel good about his clearly superior understanding of the English language . If that gets him meets , I take it back that it's irrelevant , but personally I doubt it will .

It may be a swinging site but that does not mean people need to drop their standards . Poor spelling will be off putting to a percentage of members , but I would be unable to estimate how many .

I do not think that the poster made the comment to feel good about himself , it was a comment on standards which is a bit different .

The use of correct spelling would apply to all web sites for any subject . Why should a web site for swingers accept a lower standard of spelling or use of grammar ?

always best to say who you are talking about.

I've argued since about spelling/grammar forums threads since I started on them.

I say the same thing when I see the comments about professional people seeking professional people..

All I ever have pointed out is that people might just want to take a closer look at who they slag off or belittle...and then assume that the said person might have some IQ problem that sets them worlds apart from another person.

That in itself shows me there are some people..who actually do think theyre above a lot of people...so..in my opinion...fuck them.

There are thousands of people worthwhile meeting up with, half the battles sorted if you find them attractive..though like yourself, if you find someone who might not have that educational uppage or equality on you, why not adapt yourself and have fun?

nahh...too easy that...just sit back behind the screen and say you definitely wont be sexually interested in that person, even if they sat beside you and charmed themselves into your heart(or fanny)

instead we have utter tripe about people who would probably be lazy in bed, or not good in bed..blahh fucking blah..year in year out..same pish.

People that complain about having to try and decipher messages due to bad spelling and grammar obviously aren't as clever as they think they are. It's not hard to get the jist of what people are getting at in a message no matter how bad the spelling or grammar is. I really struggle with my spelling and grammar and normally sasha will check messages for me if I ask because spell check isn't the greatest, but I can hold a interesting and articulate conversation with anyone. Just because I don't know how to spell a word doesn't mean I don't know what it means or the right context to use it in. I've done a lot of tests a few years ago which pointed to being dyslexic which answers a few questions as to why I struggle righting, it was also noticeable with numbers when it comes to measuring when I started a new job a few years ago.

If someone met me in a pub or club they wouldn't realise this and take me as I am in the flesh. Txt speak is totally different and as long as it isn't the full message then we would reply, but I do think people that complain about people's spelling when they put the effort in and try as good as they can need to realise that they are no better and shouldn't look down there nose at others (which is how it comes across on the forums at times)

That leads to one of four conclusions: there is a greater concentration of dyslexic people attracted to a swinging forum than other forums.

Or: people who are not dyslexic are using it as an excuse for ignorance.

Or: it is all co-incidence.

Or: I am wrong and there are not more here per head than elsewhere.

I don't see snobbery here at all, just an expression of preferences. Incidentally inverted snobbery is just as bad, as discriminatory and as insidious as snobbery - and I see plenty of that in this thread.

So many times I refrained from pointing this out but I'm glad you've raised the point.

Im a good speller, but as long as the person could put a sentence together when we met socially and I think Id notice that in their message then the odd spelling mistake wouldnt matter. There are some long words I have trouble with admittedly.

I have a single female friend on here who will not even answer a message with bad grammar or spelling. She too enjoys articulate, well spoken men.

Each to their own.

So having bad spelling or grammar means you can't be articulate or we'll spoken?

Sorry, kind off a bit lost in this, who had looked down their noses, all I see is a preference filter.

From a dyslexic schooling, II disciplined myself into understanding grammar.

No right or wrong, just me.

We have been on here for over 4 years now and have seen it a lot of the time where people come across as thinking they are better than others because of spelling and grammar.

Well done if you have managed to find a way of u understanding grammar with dyslexia. Unfortunately a lot of people have not been recognised as having dyslexia during education so have had to do there best to understand.

Dyslexia is a learning diffuculty with a large spectrum so there is many variations and degrees of severity to it.

I understand that people need to have filters as we use some filters when selecting meets but I do think when it comes to spelling and grammar people should be slightly flexible. Like I said earlier a message in txt speak where it looks like a 13 year old has messaged there mate is different.

Not necessarily but surely it's not that unreasonable for someone to make that link is it?

Well i think it is wrong to assume that. She is possible ly missing out on some really good, articulate and well spoken meets.

We all have to have filters and use them as we see fit. Doesn't mean it's going to be the best filter but that is there choice.

exactly they could pull out a surprise spelling test mid thrust. Now that would be akward (unless you like teacher student role play)

"I just find it bizarre people can judge someone over text, despite finding someone attractive.

It's not a fucking job interview, it's not a fucking essay being marked by an examiner...

My point exactly!

Lots of judgement, condemnation and bullying in my view from someone who should know better! I bet he would be the first to scream intolerance, yet shows little for other peoples preferences.

always best to say who you are talking about.

I've argued since about spelling/grammar forums threads since I started on them.

I say the same thing when I see the comments about professional people seeking professional people..

That in itself shows me there are some people..who actually do think theyre above a lot of people...so..in my opinion...fuck them.

nahh...too easy that...just sit back behind the screen and say you definitely wont be sexually interested in that person, even if they sat beside you and charmed themselves into your heart(or fanny)

instead we have utter tripe about people who would probably be lazy in bed, or not good in bed..blahh fucking blah..year in year out..same pish."

I was unaware that anyone was looking down on people that are unable to spell. We all make choices in life , whether it is based on looks , presentation , age , achievements , intelligence or a wide number of other factors . Freedom of choice has nothing to do with looking down on people , it is merely a personal preference .

With reference to education , the reality is that better educated people will probably have much greater choices in life as they will tend to earn more and achieve more things . Whether this is fair or not is a difference issue , but choices in life have to be made on reality .

It's fine having a personal preference but the way it is put across on the forums about spelling and grammar most of the time does come across as people are looking down there nose at others who struggle.

It's not the preference as such it's the way there preference is put across.

"Can we quit it with the dyslexia chat?

I don't think there's a person on here who would mistake spelling errors for the kind of misspelt words we're talking about.

Your/you're

Lose/loose

They're/there/their.

It's/its

I would imagine that these few examples alone account for more than 50% of my irritation.

Assuming English is your first language, you've spoken it since day one. You've read it. You've written it.

EVERY. DAMN. DAY.

Instead of agreeing with posts which actually have nothing to do with the original question , how about a comment on our answer to your post ?

How would you know that the poster wrote the post in order to feel good .? That is an assumption which you have made . He may have an interest in language and wished to comment . Members will make posts for a wide variety of reasons and I fail to see the logic that the post to which you refer was made in order to feel good.

Come and live my life and then you (might) understand how it all works.

I am dyslexic and also an avid reader ( i suposedly absorb lots of correct spelling) but i still get things wrong so your theory is wrong

I'll keep my mind open thanks..to those that dont spell/punctuate that well and to those that do..

and treat the person as a person, whom I might have fun times with, rather than sit behind my screen examining things.

attractive pics to me , decent chat- what do I have to lose?

I fail to see any other reason for such a post other than my assumption . The terminology and assumption of it appears to belittle those who don't easily grasp the use of the written word and it's correct spelling .

Totally agree , and how someone bases who they will have fun with based on correct spelling and grammar is way beyond me .

Still as others have suggested , it works both ways . If someone's criteria is to correct every grammatically incorrect message , they probably wouldn't be our cup of tea .

Perhaps fab could add spelling as a preference to save humiliation for the poor spellers ?

"
. I can see no reference to anyone humiliating people for poor spelling . Would you also say it was humiliating for people to select whom they wish to meet using criteria such as looks , age , social status , and quality of pictures ?.

If we wish to help people to succeed in life , the use of correct spelling and grammar should be encouraged.

In the example referred to , the poster still sits behind his screen examing profiles , the only difference being that he is looking at different aspects of them..

I try not to be judgemental but admit i find bad spelling and 'text speak' a turn-off . I also have a problem with incorrect use of apostrophes. I must be a horrible snob
