The Importance of good spelling and grammar (206)
CapricornDancer: I find the level of literacy on this and other sites disturbing. How do you feel?
Absolutely the same.
I am not a native English speaker and I know I do make mistakes, but I can bring my point across. I don't have a problem with non-native speakers who make spelling mistakes but can put together a sentence, it is just a turn of to receive mail from native speakers with the literacy level of a 5 year old.

I can't find fault with others cause I make spelling farts all the time.

English is a second language to me and I can understand and excuse people who live in a country where English is not the main language but it boggles my mind how poor some people living in the 'English' world can spell; not even to mention the improper usage of similar sounding words like 'there' and 'their'.

This is an international side. You can write in other Latin based languages,though English is the dominant one.

I am actually in favour of spelling reform. I like George Bernard Shaw's spelling of fish as an example of how ridiculous spelling can be. GHOTI .... GH as in enough, O as in Women and TI as in motion.
... but, having said that, I am still against spelling anarchy.

What is it about spelling anarchy that you're against?
And as I asked earlier, what do you find disturbing about poor literacy skills?

I agree 100%
The level of English, even among speakers for whom English is a first language, is so bad that they do not know how to use basic words like "there, their, your, you're, you are" - words that I knew by about 10 years of age.
The local radio station sounds like a bunch of street corner slobs and even company reports and advertising are sloppy and show lack of proof reading.

I am not really disturbed nor am I surprised. I may not always have perfect grammar or spelling, but I try. If I was being tested I may even try a little harder. As for others and their grammar, who knows. Maybe alcohol is a factor.------ This poll is Archived ------
I appreciate the effort non-English speakers make.
However, if English is their first language, very poor spelling and grammar is a major turn off. I lose interest very quickly.

Homophone errors are typical of dyslexia.
Perhaps the ignorance is yours.

For all of you who have voted "Bad spelling is a big turn off", I'm wondering what you're doing on an INTERNATIONAL dating site.
What are you looking for on an INTERNATIONAL dating site? Are you perhaps looking for a partner, who you can correct the rest of your life?
I'd never ever dream of being together with such an INTOLERANT person!
If you can't stand poor English, please take off to a LOCAL dating site! There are plenty of them.
