While surfing Mutual Match came up with some fun criteria for meeting your mate.
Now we all have spelling challenges and this is just of the few funnies of why we gals may not be finding our soul mates. We just are not sure what do they want: 1st man good HEATED easy GING (do I hear red hot papa or hot tub?) (Who or what is Ging and is she/it part of the process?) 2nd man SNUGELING (German pastry?) PATTENT (has inventions?) wood WOKING (does he cook Chinese?) 3rd man BEEING outside (does this require smoke and a netted hood?)(do I need my EPI PEN?) 4th man Does not state needs, but says women are EVIDENTALY too choosy 5th man not into playin games MENTEL -ones anyway (anyone played that one?) All in good fun |

Hi galen....
Have read some really bad ones, just thought I'd jot a few of them down tonite. Have I got a life or what |

JMO, if a person cannot spell, with in reason, they lose alot of points with me. What I EXPECT from myself, is a standard for those I associate with. "OLD SCHOOL"

Yeah, typos are one thing, but the same typo over and over? Nuh-uh. And then of course there's the misuse of "you're" and "your" - and "there", "their" and "they're".
And I'm wondering if/when the word "alot" will ever make it into the dictionary. Probably about the same time as "newbie" does. I could go on. And on. But I'm tired and cranky so I'd better stop before I say somethin I'll regret later. |

Ouch the spelling police got me...lol.. I know I know I am a nortorious creative speller. But at least most of the time I get my point across. Would be nice if the spell check worked here...

You guys are nothing compared to what I read in forums.
Surfing the site, there are times I am amazed that people cannot spell. Is our education system that bad, I hear rumours but........... |

It is kind of funny are some very intelligent people just can't spell too well. However, I do look at some of my posts, after I've posted them, and realize perhaps I should have checked them BEFORE I posted it! Hope you got un-cranky, Sky .

I think some do the purposeful short writing knowing you know what they mean. Some times I know how to spell that word but it just won't come to me at the moment. Is it age :) I could edit but I'm human. I think Allot is right. lol

Google Chrome has built in spell checking. If you type a word wrong it puts a little orange line under the word so you can fix it.
It does give me some pause for thought to see just how many people who SEEM highly motivated to find someone via a social site like this one can't seem to communicate via writing to save their freaking lives, ya know? I can deal with a few typos in a forum post or profile, but when every other word is misspelled, grammar butchered, and punctuation not used, it starts to seem like a joke. You're looking for "one gud women", are you? You value "sinseraty and honisty", do ya? You're asking me if "their r ne girl out their ho lik 2 go 4 weelin"...? AND YOU HONESTLY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY YOU'RE SO LONELY???!! The urge to hold various offenses up to ridicule becomes almost irresistible sometimes, especially when I've been drinking. What I particularly like are the ones who claim to have these highfalutin jobs with sub grade school writing ability. Nothing says "Nigerian scammer" like one of those long PMs from some guy who claims to be a "surgical pathologist" in which the words "surgical pathologist" are the only two words spelled, punctuated, or capitalized correctly. Ok, I'll stop now. yours in Chaos, Scarlett |

just a little pent up fustation there sure was a funny read though. Smiles

I'm afraid I'm one of those that has a thing about correct spelling.It amazes me sometimes to see that a person is college educated and they can't spell even simple words.Incorrect grammer I can deal with unless it's really bad, sometimes I look at where a person is from and think okay maybe that's how they "talk" in that part of the U.S.Oh well, must be an age thing I notice older people usually spell much better than the younger crowd makes you wonder what they teach them in schools, if not reading,writing and arithmetic....................

Do you want a good speller, or a great lover?
(I am both!) |

surfguru, welcome to the 50 and over group, post and have some fun here meeting the people and making some new friends

Wow, that was my last post of the day. Glad to read the replies!!
I thought of one other that made me chuckle... Man proudly states: "NOT ON ANY MEDS" Can't help but wonder, (should you be?, (Did you go off, AMA-against medical advice?), (Did you miss the special voices talking to you?) Why wouldn't you say, I AM VERY HEALTHY? |
|
|

And so those of us who DO use grammar correctly, and punctuate correctly, are we supposed to get any special credit for that???? Or are we to just be considered half-azzed normal??

Welcome surfguru. Actually I'm looking for a good speller, a good lover and someone close enough to date. |
