nah i aint THAT picky...I aint gonna git mad at ya fro talkin......or typin how ya wnat to..
BUT...there would be some BUTS to that one...

LMAO

Deal breaker? Maybe. It drives me nuts to see people that can't find a coherent sentence without a flashlight and a flare gun. I guess in life, the people I'm closest to accept me for me. I'm accepting of them, as well. So no, not a "deal breaker". In business, though, that's another story entirely...

No, but if they did that at 12 words per minute, I'd let the IM time out.

I have a hard time talking to people that use words that they don't know the definition of it.

Why would it? Because she can't text message me?

every1 tipes rong on teh intrawebzzzz!!!!111

agreed!

Yeah, I'm selective, everything better damn well be perfcet.

Im never been good a spelling. so I understand what it is not to be good.

The only time it really bothers me is if someone has to abbreviate anything. If that happens, our conversation online isn't going to last long at all.

Depends on how bad it is. I can put up with some mistakes, we all make them. But someone who clearly does not know how to communicate with the written word is not the guy for me.

life is more than words. more than sentences even.

which language are we talking about anyway?

It's poetry, baby!

spelling? nah .. a lot of guys struggle with spelling

grammar? you betcha


It's hard to be well-educated and then be embarrassed by your partner everytime they enter into a convo with someone in public, or with friends/family.

No thanks

Double negatives are the worst! Or when they say "haven't went" and stuff like that!

Argh.

they won't get the date...I wouldn't date someone that can't communicate in writing. Period.

I really do not think that improper use of grammar or spelling errors equates to the inability to communicate. I like someone who can carry on a conversation, if they misuse words, I think I am smart enough to be able to figure out what they are saying. I would hate to think I missed out on some other wonderful qualities in someone by being hung-up on something that clearly can be worked on, or around.

It depends on the degree.

If someone is clearly making an effort, and can be understood, that is one thing. The love of my life was not a good speller and he sometimes mangled his written grammar; his speech was fine, though.

I just can't be with someone who considers those things unimportant when they are so important to me. It's a matter of shared values, I think.

I could not continue a correspondence with someone whose paragraphs require deciphering; it's too much work. And I detest the laziness inherent in using "u" for you and "4" for four, etc. I just don't have an interest in someone like that.
