In this dating enviorment where all the beggining comunacation is done with e-mails and the written word I have heard many people say they one of the ways they "weed" out possiable matches is by thier spelling.(or lack of it) As someone that has had dyslexia all his life I can tell you that many of us will never be able to spell. I for instance use the spell check as much as I can but I will still do not know the proper spelling of the word "write" and "right" I know how the concepts are diffrent. It would just be too combersum to look up the deffinetion of al these words every time I wrote an e-mail. Nearly impossable when using a live chat or the a forum like this because of the speed at which these things move.
I am trying to say that judging people on spelling is a big mistake. Here are just some of the people you would have missed out on dating....

Orlando Bloom
Danny Glover
Jay Leno
Keanu Reeves
Ansel Adams
Pablo Picaso
Tommy Hilfiger
Muhammad Ali
Nolan Ryan
Henry Ford
William Hewlett
Alexander Graham Bell
Thomas Edison
Albert Einstein
Cher
John Lennon
Bob Weir
John F Kennedy
Hans Christian Andersen
Agatha Christie
F Scott Fitzgerald

Just to name a few. So please give those of us that can't spell a chance.



(as a little side experiment would anyone that still thinks that they will not date bad spellers put out your reason why you feel that way. Thank you)

I'm a little dyslexic, too. But, I do try to fix before I send, and sometimes I still mess up. I hate being dyslexic and anal retentive!!! laugh laugh laugh

good point, but what makes me a little crazy is when guys say things like "i am looking for a good women".. it's the same for us as you guys!!! man=1 men=more than 1!!!

Even if one can spell, there's always "fat fingered" typing. I make lots of spelling mistakes that way, especially when I'm instant messaging someone.

i don't date bad spellers because i personally find intellegence attractive. now that is just because i don't feel very smart myself. i see it as just a way of bettering myself and my situations.

ok so sometimes i dont spell stuff right not that i do it on purpose but i type really fast with out looking and i dont know what im hitting and i forget to go back over it. Not to mention im no spelling bee champion. An for those who miss spell, i would like to think that im smart enough to figure out what they are saying

Why does it always have to be about the looks? What ever happened to whats on the inside?
