Are all those flowers and kisses for me Tom Cat/MadDog?

The other 2 ladies who have just commented are more likely to be flirting with you. They contradict themselves about what they want in a man. I don't have any contradictions in the bedroom or out I like a gentleman.

seems subjective...true, things can get lost in translation, as each language has its own nuances and complexities.. but even couples from different countries and languages have been known to make it work... some things are more powerful than words. even people who speak the same language often misunderstand each other, intentionally or not...it's mostly a matter of the meeting of the minds...

I made my point. I was clear. If someone doesn't get it now I throw my hands up in the air and say what the hell is your point?

^^^Or maybe what you know about who you know...

Hi Pink!

Not really.

You would be surprised how many people who struggle with illiteracy today even after completing school. It is not a measure of intelligence or lack there of, but a failure on the part of the education systems ability to be flexible in teaching methods to accomodate those who have difficulty or learn differently than the the methods used and thereby fall through the cracks.

If you learn easily you can breeze through, if you have obvious learning deficits you may be assigned assistance but if you fall somewhere in the middle ie: smart enough to deduce what is going on, you can squeeze through with out actually acquiring the skills. These individuals can read well enough to get through what they need to but accurate spelling may be a lifelong challenge.

It is not a measure of intelligence at all but lack of acquired skills. It also does not indicate laziness or refusal when there is a lack of resources to help them. As they reach adulthood they may be conditioned to think they cannot learn and develop other skills to cope.

Some of these individuals function very well in society and have excellent careers. I am always amazed when I encounter a professional person who consistantly misspells or misuses words but it happens more than you might think. With the lowered levels of achievements required to get the kids graduated and out of the schools these days, this will happen more and more with no fault of their own.

There are all kinds of struggles in this world.

People seem to be confused about me, so let me explain, I also have a high regard for REAL men/gentlemen. I do not dislike these men, I am a normal straight woman who likes gentlemen. There is no problem there.

Inability, or at least refusal, to properly spell words is, to me, a sign that a person is willfully uneducated. Spelling is taught to children from the very instant they enter school, and if they cannot (or refuse to) learn how to spell basic words after 12 years of mandatory public education, then how can I expect them to learn other, more important things like philosophy, law, literature, or gods help me, the VCR programming guide?

Now if someone was born in a non-English speaking/writing country, and they were learning the language, that's something else. We need to give those who WANT to learn the same leeway we grant young children, because their language development is at a similar level. Misspelling "bad" shouldn't happen all that often, but misspelling "exhalation" might be slightly trickier. Even native speakers frequently get "they're/their/there" wrong, and other similar-sounding words besides.
