Spelling! Why is it so hard for some? Why don't they ever use spell check or a dictionary? Is it because they actually believe words are spelled the way they have them or is it pure laziness? confused Correct spelling does make a difference and why wouldn't you want to put your best foot forward when you're typing up a profile on a dating site, starting a thread or answering a post or whatever you're doing that other people are going to read or if you happen to be trying to impress someone? dunno I realize this isn't everyone's pet peeve and there's nothing wrong with that. However, this is my rant and rave for the day. mumbling Anyone else have something that mystifies them? Share! hug

Because this is a discussion forum and who really cares if a word is misspelled.

I hate bad spelling, but these are my friends, and amongst friends, they can spell as badly as they want.

When you ask your friends (who are not of the same mother tongue as you) to speak correct English. Then can you first speak their language well enough to be understood?

Just because you cannot spell correctly or put the grammar in the right order does not mean that you cannot be my ideal person.

In fact, as long as you try, then I will love you even more.

As a guide, and a friendly piece of info, having a gripe about spelling on a site that is mainly derived from words on a page, not words from your mouth, might not be very popular.

Well first and foremost, I am 37 yrs old and popularity concerns for me went out in high school. When a language barrier prevents proper spelling, well that's obviously understandable. I didn't single anyone out and I consider people in here my friends also. I've been here for quite some time but have been away for the past few months so i'm not a newbie and I know how the forums work. Maybe posting a thread if women like big dongs or not is more forum suitable so forgive my lack of etiquette. This is what forums are all about. Different individuals grips, sorrows, questions, silliness, loves and anything else they care to share with kind people all over the world. Whether you agree with my grip or not, it still fits into the forums.That's the beauty of it all..you don't have to agree with me or anyone elses opinion in here but judgement and bashing of ones opinion probably shouldn't be in the forums. That's a guide and a friendly piece of info for ya. Oh and btw, I took the time to look up two words I wasn't sure of the spelling on. Only took 30seconds. Take care my friend and i'm sorry we had to meet for the first time in this manner. I'm Amy and welcome to the forums. hug

I personally type how I speak...so that my accent shines thru the typical monovoice of pure typing. Atleast I don't spell like "wat is wif all thez playas in da hood rappin' bout dolla billz when theyz aint gots none!" That irrates me lol.rolling on the floor laughing

I don't mind an honest spelling mistake , there are different levels of skooling among us.


What I hate , and makes me pull out my scalp , is " u " and " B4 "
or " ppl " , and crap like that.


Hello , Amy . moping

Well, lets just look at your post shall we?

"Well first and foremost, " I think you may be missing a comma there. You might have used one after the word well.

"Different individuals grips, sorrows, questions, silliness, loves and anything else they care to share with kind people all over the world"

Is that word grips supposed to be gripes? (this may be of course I word I am not familiar with)
Isnt there an apostrophe in "individual's"

"anyone elses opinion " bit light on an apostrophe there as well.

I could go on. But my point is, giving someone a hard time over their spelling is hardly likely to make them feel any better.
It makes no difference and you dont gain many brownie points.
People in glasshouses, etc.

I am sure that you have far more experience on this site than I. Being a newbie myself, obviously, I don't know how to conduct myself in a public place or on a public forum.

But if this is what you like to teach me, then I welcome your instructions <- No apostrophe needed here, by the way.

I'm Duncan, and I am not a pedant.
... and thank you for your welcome. I appreciate it.

I write the way I talk...especially if I am joking around..where I come from we use alot of our own slang and I tend to use those words alot!

I save my spelling and grammatical correctness for my court documents and the court room. The work I do is tedious and serious so when I come here I just like to be able to type the way I like!

If someone wants to dislike me for the way I spell and talk..to me that person is not worth knowing anyway!
