Grammar and English

I have noticed alot of people on this site especialy women no offence. Over emphasise on spelling and grammar, excuse me if am wrong but we are on a dating site not Havard law school; doubt most of us would get that far. I would rather just concentrate
on posting threads and quit lecturing, many thanks....

sorry you are wrong, if you spell incorrectly especially on your profile page it jars, upsets the flow and takes the emphasis off of you, it's difficult to read and can be misunderstood. when in a forum it's more acceptable as typed in a hurry, and can be funny.

Would you date somebody that didn't make a bit of an effort in dressing up at least in clean clothes?

Same principle applies dunno

Make an effort of correct spelling and grammar, just like you would with clean clothes. It's appealing and gives a clue that you either have an education or know how to use a spell checker. Both definitely a "plus"!

Mind you, that is only my personal opinion. Sure, other people may think differently about this. And since you mentioned "especially women", it may mean that women pay more attention to such details...

Visitor: Is your mother home?
Child: No, she ain't.
Visitor: How about your father?
Child: He ain't home neither.
Visitor: My goodness! Where's your grammar?
Child: She's in the kitchen, making cookies.
You don't have to go as far as Harvard Law School to learn spelling and grammar.
Spelling and Grammar are usually taught in Grammar school.
I agree with you...


As what i said nobody's perfect...

Thank you for declaring your specifications ladies and I will aim to pay close attention myself to this, although this can be difficult to pinpoint without a spell checker.
Considering that for many people here English is not their first language, you don't think its useful and considerate to try and make sure that what you write is at least spelt properly and is understandable?

This is an international site and users are not supposed to know English fluently as native speakers or are they supposed? They are trying their best.
It would also have fricked me out if a kazakh person misspelled kazakh words since (s)he is a native speaker of Kazakh language but if somebody else misspelled kazakh words then I would have been really supportive for his/her attempt to try to speak my language.
My native language isn't English either, but I absolutely agree with how1e. Since we all do converse in English here, one should make as sure as possible that one does not get misunderstood. Hence correct spelling and grammar can be very important.
Somehow I get the impression you thought I was berating you when I was doing the opposite. Please forgive my lapse in not immediately knowing the definition of an artifical language (esperanto) as I have not studied language structure and linguistics as you have. I am sure there are many things you do not know I could explain to you. That's what makes us all human after all...having different levels of knowledge, expertise and yes, ignorance.
