The Importance of good spelling and grammar (206)

I recalled President Bush Jr. having

his bad day during a conference.

Maybe alcohol was doing its trick

I do not like to have spelling errors either but I do have them in English and I am sure I do have them in Italian.

In Spanish I like to believe that those mistakes are quasi non existent.

However, using some spelling check tools I have found some errors in them, which is important when writing a paper, so Google some times is not a good friend.

How much do you know about them jac?

We all make choices in life. Some people are simply not interested in learning and increasing their skill set. Nothing wrong with that, I am just not interested in communicating with them on here.

Not everyone suits the "normal" school system, but today there are more possibilities than ever to go and learn things - various courses open to adults, internet learning etc. So if someone did't manage to learn in a way that suited him in younger years, what stops them now?

I said in every post I made that I have no problem with people being dyslexic I am just not interested to communicate with people who have no communication skills.

There are people who choose not to communicate with me and I am with them. What is your problem with acknowledging this? Is it a problem for you that there are people who don't want to communicate with you and you can't accept this?

There's a happy medium, it doesn't bother most people if there is the odd spelling or grammar mistake but when I see on a persons profile "anyting u wanna kno jus ask" I move on.

bungallow I fully understand.My sis in law writes books which she sells to the public and has to make sure that her grammar and spelling is absolutely perfect.

But she has written emails and sometimes she may misspell a word or two.

I have a problem with people being called lazy and ill-educated if their literacy skills aren't up to a standard that you see fit.

I don't know people's individual literacy stories, that's why I don't go round calling them names, or generalising about their laziness, or lack of education. I would prefer to talk to them if they're willing, and see what their learning experience has been from their perspective.

Yes, there are adult education classes, usually in the same, or similar format to children's education classes. They're not only no more accessible to some people, but some people have long since been put off formal education as not useful, or enjoyable to themselves.

Formal education, reading, or studying is not the only way to learn.

I have acknowledged there's a difference between interest, compatibility and disparaging others for their literacy skills. It's a few posts/pages back in direct response to one of your posts.

I believe K was talking about those who don't have dyslexia being lazy

K reference on laziness is nor addressed to any one in a particular case

And, there is lazy people.

Some native English speaker, that uses the basic like a pronouns in a wrong manner and that person (just an example) reads other people comments using those pronouns correctly but do not see it and that persons is just a normal person with the capacity of learning but that person chooses not to learn. How do you call that?

Great that you have acknowledged that there is a difference between interest and compatibility because that is all I ever talked about.

I am talking about people I had contact with and based on that I said who I am not interested in communicating with - this is my personal preference and I communicate who I want with, simples. If you have a problem with that, that is your problem.

I saw it so often that you have a problem simply accepting other people's preferences.

How does it come that you refused to have communication with one of the Indian bloggers (iotoo) who ask you to start communicating with him?

Is that not prejudiced? Or might that be your personal preference?

Ok ladies stop this argument
before goes too far, I've seen it
here on CS.

Hi unlaoised and lifeisadream, jac doesn't want to see any points who don't suit her agenda. Unfortunately I have seen this on several occasions before.

Hi Kim
When I do write in Spanish I need not any spell check but when I have to write some technical papers in English I use it and a few times the verbs are not correct so I do change them the way I was tought to and then the same tool marks nor error or sometimes it does.

Tols are just tools, finally we still have the last word.

Hiya K

It's very clear to me what your point is

Hiya unla, I think a lot of people simple voiced their preferences and seeing that voicing these is turned into "calling names" which it never was intended to is just sad.

I agree but all you can do is let them have at it.

A preference is very different to prejudice, IMO and I know you feel the same way but there seems to be plenty of judgement of those who have differing opinions. You're clear and concise about yours and I enjoy that

I don't know what a pronown pronoun is, nor do I understand the specifics of your question.

I learned English intuitively, I know fairly well how to use it, but I don't know what everything is called. It doesn't matter how many times I look things up, like the definition of word 'verb', it never stays in my memory.

I have no idea whether people choose not to learn, has have been put off from certain types of learning, has have no interest in a particular bit of learning (there is so much to learn, why does everybody have to know the same things?), or whether something just doesn't compute in the format it's presented to them.

Some people are wordy, some people think in shapes, some in colour and no doubt in many other ways.

Oh, hang on, I get your question now. How do the people using a pronoun (whatever that is) know that they're using it incorrectly and that someone else is using it correctly just by reading someone else's use of the word? Even if they recognise that someone else's sentence sounds better, how do they process and utilise the correct usage?

Personally, I use a lot of visual imagery and lateral thinking for spelling if that's any help in answering your question: if I want to say, "Bear in mind..." I imagine a bear inside my skull every single time I write the word.
