Posted: 7/27/2008 1:53:17 PM | | I just had to respond to this. It is such a turn off when you read an e-mail or a profile with so many words spelled wrong. It is something to be picky about because there is a thing called spell check. I also think they just don't proof read what they write before they send it. One example of what I saw was a guy who wrote thair which should have been there, my g/f and I were LAUGHING OUR BUTTS OFF :) | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 2:03:48 PM | | I'm more picky about grammar and spelling than just about anyone I know! However, having said that, I should also say that I have actually met one or two of these people who've sent me messages virtually filled with misspelling and grammatical errors, and found, to my surprise, that they were actually very intelligent...just not extremely literate. Their messages come off as grade school level intelligence, but when I spoke with them in person, they really did much better! But the grammar was still a problem for me (even though they did seem much more intelligent than their emails would show them to be) with one of these men, so I changed my mind again, lol. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 3:09:14 PM | whoa, curlygrl! re: "if you want to meet a Rhoades Scholar then I suggest you join a site which caters to the well educated." I'm not here to find a Rhoades Scholar but somebody who doesn't get all pi22y when I know something he doesn't. It's not an ego thing, it's just a fact that I happen to be very intelligent. The dealbreaker isn't whether the guy is equally intelligent, but whether he has to ACT like he is (and I have to go along with it) because he's a guy.
Right? So here's date Z, guy with a degree, giving me this whole long spiel on Stalin, without ever bothering to ascertain that I knew far more on the subject than he did (I wasn't mean. I dropped a few hints - 'which biographies have you read?' - which he ignored. So then I just gave up and listened politely.) Or the nice guy who promised to "explain" Greek mythology to me when I'm "ready." (I must have been ready when I was nine, because that's when I learned most of it.) I'd much prefer a guy with an eighth grade education who doesn't feel diminished by learning something from a woman.
That being said, sooner or later the nice guys with lousy grammar and spelling, for the most part, tend to cop an attitude toward me much like the one you're showing. If you're short and you stand next to a tall person, you feel shorter. If your lack of education bothers you, then dating me is going to make you feel inadequate. To paraphrase Shrek, it's not me that has a problem with poor spellers, it's the poor spellers who have a problem with me.

A lot of people get a little careless when it comes to writing email, IMs, text messages, etc. A common excuse is that they don't like to write or that it doesn't matter on the Web. Well, it DOES.
I know I am very judgemental about this. It astounds me that someone will read that I am a journalist and writer and STILL think I won't be annoyed by such things.
Ultimately, each of us has a comfort level about these things. For many others it just doesn't matter. To me, it is a definite reason to say, "No thanks." | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 5:18:35 PM | It depends what you mean by bad grammar and misspelled words. If they wrote a whole paragraph and have a couple words misspelled a big word and forgot an e, or in an uncommon word switched the i & e around.
I think it's one's writing style that can be a turn on/turn off. If it was written with no punctuation, then I would be turned off. Not into someone with their head in the clouds. | |

1) A man's proclivity to be faithful or unfaithful has nothing to do with his ability or inability to spell.
2) I don't think I'd care to know you either way, but thanks anyway.
3) No worries, my feelings are intact.
4) What on Earth makes you think I'd want to go on a cruise around the world with anyone, let alone you?
Uh, yeah....buh bye | |

Posted: 7/29/2008 6:29:35 PM | | I won't not talk to someone just because they have bad grammar or misspelled words. We all do it. It does tho (and yes I know I spelled that wrong but that's just how I spell it), annoy me when it's a constant thing. If you can tell a person just plainly has never taken an English class ....it just irritates me. | |

Some words spelled incorrectly aren't such a big deal. Some grammatical errors aren't such a big deal either. Flagrant errors in both can be a turn-off. I'm sure you aren't the only one who is bothered by such gaffes and I'm sure others could care less. such is life - there's no right or wrong in it - it's just individual preference.
Personally - I'm more tolerant of poor spelling than I am of lousy grammar. | |

Posted: 7/29/2008 8:26:30 PM | Oh my gosh! Here's one of MY pet peeves too! I'm okay with mistakes in grammar or spelling as long as the message isn't FULL of them. As long as the person appears to be normal and the message is mostly correct...that's alright with me. No one is perfect. Perfect is gross! : )
One poster mentioned something about Nigerian scams...that's exactly what I think when I see a long, lovey-dovey message that's chock-full of mistakes. It's annoying! | |

Posted: 7/30/2008 1:01:20 AM | WOW its realy great most people are so anal about spelling & gramer but, yea ANAL is the word.
I have no problems saying I am a horrible speller I also spend a lot of time on this site kicked back in bed in a dark room & I am not real sure how many mistakes are spelling or just stupid typos.
It really is a hot topic though yet there is no spell check box at the botom of this message to check it real quick so ol' well gives everyone a very educated way of telling other how much better they are then the other person,
Get over it come on 30 some freakin pages. Wow this is so one of the "DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF THINGS" | |

Posted: 8/2/2008 12:46:10 AM | i try not to judge people, but i kind of get this urge to choke anyone who uses the word "supposably" instead of "supposedly". of course, there's the chance i'm just a grammar nazi ;)
Yeah or there is a chance you are just an uneducated and way-too-fussy person. The word "supposably" is not even incorrect. You will find it in some dictionaries, two examples are the "Random House Unabridged Dictionary" and the “American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language”.
Cheers, :) | |
