You kids are looking at this from the wrong angle....

Illiteracy ain't a bad thing. I LOVE it when a woman can't say "no"


Right, but it's a little disturbing when she can't spell it.




Or when they spell know as no.


Ya'll are splitting hairs.....which ain't gonna get you any closer to butt naked time.


That's like being ten feet away from the sun and worrying about what happens if it gets a half-inch closer. Because it really isn't gonna make an appreciable difference at that point!

There is spell check, which will help both native and non-native speakers.

hmm, that seems a bit overdone, don't you think? Using a spelling checker every time?
some Browsers have a Spellchecker integrated,or you could use an Add-On to your Browser!
Also could use a simple Wordprocessor,and use its Spellchecker!
That way you won't lose a long Post,if you make a wrong move,as it could happen if you compose it directly in the Forum Posting Box!bigsmile

Decades ago, I was the owner of a resume preparation service and I was appalled at the number of degreed individuals seeking entry into, or changes within, highly professional career paths who were unable to spell even the simplist of words correctly. I think that it is a sad reflection of our current educational system and standards here in the United States.
some could be caused by dyslexia!

If I meet someone online and they can't type a simple sentence that allows me to understand what they're trying to say, we're not going to end up meeting anyway. That certainly has not stopped me from meeting people, though.

If no one listens to you anymore it's because you're annoying.

Spelling isn't an issue for me. I can usually understand what people are saying. I might miss out on making a great friend or something.

I rilly dunt car. Dunt boter mee attall. Iffin I can red it wel enough two. understood it dat is al dat mater.


The sentence above is what really gets on my nerves. It gives me a head ache trying to read it. I am not a spelling or grammar snob. No one has to have perfect spelling or grammar to talk to me. But some of these kids today, We send them to school to give them the best education we possibly can, What do they do, They murder the english language with txt speak and ghetto slang.

It's not just those though. I've come across older people who are just as bad. Here on dating sites, I see a lot of really bad spelling and grammar mistakes. Me, I'll tell the truth, If it were not for "After the dead line" My spelling and grammar would not be the greatest either.

Seriously though, I think most people just really don't think about spell check or add-on's like "After the dead line. Most people are computer novices. They just don't know any better. My sister is a great speller. Really good grammar. Good education. But even she didn't know that yahoo mail has a built-in spell checker till I told her. Much less an add-on like "After the dead line.

Quite often, expressing oneself can become misconstrued or taken out of context by the reader when spelling or grammar is not of an articulate construction, thus leading to un-necessary misunderstandings, and/or the reader spending most of their time trying to piece together a jigsaw puzzle and completely missing the point.

Ummm...i put it down to laziness sometimes (text talk has much to answer for). They know what they want to say, but can't be arsed trying to construct it properly. And if you're not going to bother making the effort, then don't take offense if i don't make the effort to decipher your hieroglyphics :smile:

This "Oh btw, fufykjuikhyu" is clear communication. The message is clearar than the azure sky in the deep summer.

"O, by the way, f... y.." I am not confused, and I know English somewhat. This was a breeze.

This, "gfiuhdfjdohfeafbfkjdojd", however, imposed some problems. I very successfully, however, stopped my work of figuring out what it could mean, after much and serious consideration and innerwardly deliberation.
