Posted: 8/26/2008 7:47:47 PM | Evev though I have 2 grad degrees, I still make typos.
If subject and verb do not match, if the man uses explatives, slummy words for female body parts AND spells those words incorrectly"I love big beasts but a tight Virginia is mor impotent) lol.. well, you know he is uneducated and crass.
You woulld avoid him in any case
If someone wrote ther instead of there, draems intead of dreams.. and THIS matters, then you are erudite, pompous, as enderaing.. no LESS endearing than Chas Emerson Winchester the 3rd, and not a fun poisson.
Know the diff beteen a typo and a stupid person! | |

Being educated is not the same thing as having gone to school. A person with two grad degrees ought to recognize the need to proofread. What's the problem with inproving your writing skills evey time you post or send email?

Occasional typos are ok. Stupid persons are not. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 6:58:23 PM | | I couldn't agree more! If a person can't take the time to spell correctly and use proper grammar in their profile(which is supposed to be an accurate reflection of who you are) then I write them off completely as not worth my time. Unless they are hilariously funny. There are exceptions to every rule but if it persists or they can't carry on even a semi- intelligent conversation.......it's just doomed. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 8:20:21 PM | If I was the kind of person a lot of people on here think they are (perfect in every way ) , well hell no I wouldn't respond , but seeing how there has yet to be a perfect person created , I wouldn't hold grammar and punctuation against anyone , and oh yeah if someone uses were and where wrong ,Just like to and too and you cant understand what they meant , who is the real idiot? Oh yea saying someone is lazy because they miss capitalization of the letter I ? Personally i would rather talk to someone totally illiterate then waste the precious breath the good lord gave me talking to such petty and judgmental people that would judge a man solely on his ability to articulate the English language . This is not aimed at the person that started this thread but rather the people that have responded with ignorance.
But to the poster if you reject someone solely on this basis, you may toss the best possibility you will ever have at total happiness right out the window , how often will your perfect match be putting words in writing for you? Hmmm what if he is perfect with his command of the English language but fails at being attentive? compassionate? understanding? apreciative? honest? loyal?loving? careing?respectful? supportive?
Which really matters most? | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:47:43 PM | | I don't think it's too critical. If you can't take the time to spell correctly or form a proper sentence, then I can't take the time to reply. Now, I am a bit lenient, if there's obvious effort, but if I have to ask other people "what do you think this word is?" the chances of a response are zero. | |

Posted: 8/30/2008 1:53:38 AM | I wont even respond any more. If they can't spell, they can't communicate. I will accept pretty much ANYTHING else.
What is even worse - "ne1 no wut tym u wanna go2 the moovey?" which translated STILL doesn't make sense. And she told me I had bad "GHRAMMER" because I didn't type in "1337sp34k" | |

Posted: 8/30/2008 3:26:16 AM | Yes, these really are basic and if someone doesn't know the difference then I don't know how interested I am going to be to get to know them better. However a few typos I can excuse because we all make those occasionally. As someone else points out in this thread to type i rather than I shows laziness and a lack of basic respect not only for language but perhaps even for themselves, why don't they want to capitalize when referring to themselves?
That being said I do give everyone a chance and will respond to see if there is substance behind the bad spelling/grammar/short cuts such as u = you, thx = thanks etc.

Posted: 9/4/2008 7:30:59 AM | No, it isn't. Somebody comunicating with you for the first time who does not mind their words is not minding the impression they might cause. To me its a huge turnoff. Specially if I can speak english better than your butt, who actually grew up with it.
You have the impossibly ripped good looking guys who can't type a comma, a cap, let alone one phrase correctly...and then you have the intellectual patronizing types who'd be great for a debate, but who don't tickle your naughty just one bit.
It's hard to find a middle ground, where somebody looks attractive to you and reeks a sense of normalcy in terms of intellect. So far I haven't gone beyond my hand fingers in my whole life in such finds. Talk about diamond in da ruff. | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 7:55:15 AM | I admit I do NOT edit or worry about grammer,,etc,,in my pesonal communications on the internet,,,as I type with my natrual thoughts flow,,,not some edited,polished junk,,,if one judges me based on spelling,gramer,,they should seek and English majior,,,lol,,yet if one looks past at the "content" more than the appearence they will see honesty,and most of the time value the intent more,,,,just as they would about a persons appearence,,,I have had realtionships and formal events,,,ladies wearing gowns was the norm,,,it was not the value of the gown,,,but values of who she was as a person that is all I care about,,intrested in,,,as one who edits may change one simple word as not to share what they really feel,mean,,for example,,," a few pounds",,,,changed to Avg,,,when one see's such statement,,its a lie when they meet,,yet if they would not have edited such who would have cared,,,,one misleading action creates doubt,,,and we all know what that means,,, | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 12:15:13 PM | I'm pretty much okay with the lack of capital letters, but mispelling irks me lol Either they aren't good spellers or they just don't care to proofread before sending. But then, maybe they were just in a hurry and wanted to get the message off quick... Hmm... Send a reply and see if their reply to that is garbled lol
In todays world of text messaging and leetspeak, the art of letter writing is getting lost! :) | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 12:42:52 PM | | It definitely turns me off if someone can't write in complete sentences, capitalization where needed (like in the beginning of a new sentence). I can tolerate "how r u?" because I obviously know they are using slang. I came across this one email and it drove me nuts when they use periods instead of commas... lol. I know this one man who can't spell and has very poor grammer and he posts profiles online showing that... guess what he is a psycho path lol. So not only do I worry about their intelligence, I also question their saniety. Had this one response "don't like her lips to breathe, I need to show her I love and care about her" don't remember the improper grammer he used, but it spoke volumes. | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 12:56:19 PM | | Hi. I appreciate your comment. I have been in the arena of Medical Transcription and Word Processing career for over 25 years. You can imagine the intent of accuracy and grammer that is required for both fields. My career duties included proof reading and correcting college and managerial materials. Now, all that said -- if I am corresponding with friends and they are speaking from their heart -- I am not in the least offended by incorrect spelling or grammer. Each age group and different periods in the educational systems have different advantages. Some folk are not apt to pay particular attention to details of grammer and spelling -- my children for example. If I am corresponding with a man and there is chemistry -- if he tells me he LUVS me or LOVES me -- I will get the message!! Just my thoughts. | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 12:58:17 PM | | I took a chance on a 'bad speller' because he REALLY put himself on the line in his profile and in his email to me which I thought was very brave and honest. I had a fantastic first (lunch) date with him . He is cuter than his pics and we have a lot in common. I think some men APPEAR not to be able to spell but are just impatient with details and get frustrated trying to create enough of a profile so that we will really SEE them. I also think that alot of them who can't spell are brilliant business men . I learned my lesson about climbing out of that silly little spelling box and taking a chance. After all, he was taking SOME kind of chance on me, too, wasn't he? Go for it! | |
