Whats with the people on here these days? Everyone nit picking about everything! come on people. grow up an get over it! so what if they can't spell that great or the CAPS ARE ON! grow up! ok I am only 21 an feel like one of the older ones here. Everyone is so picky here is unreal! If you are looking for that one person but wont talk to someone cause they misspell a word here an there then you will never find someone, you are way to picky! Learn how to put up with some things. I mean what if things go great, you meet, fall in love an all that crap, move in then come to find out, they do something you don't really like...are you gonna leave them just because of one thing so small? just my two cents... ok now you can yell at me cause I don't see eye to eye with you...bring it on!

Bring it on red!!! LOL

Are you 'nit'picking on people who nitpick

lol yes, yes I am geniusxboy! people drive me crazy!!



gossipmpm

In their defense, you've had 18 years and at least 10 English classes to learn how to spell easy words.


It's okay for them to joke a little bit

Right, and then the next thing you know, you end up stuck with someone who puts their shoes on wrong foot first, or doesn't stack their change up neatly on top of the dresser. No thank you....

Well if that's the way you feel, I guess I will throw away those erotic pics you sent me

We do that stuff because most of us Minglers don't have real lives.

bring it

Lex..I hope your joking...


Everyone has their own way of thinking an what not but come on... are we really that shallow to pick on someone because of the smallest thing. writing in caps or misspelling is something that should be last on your list of things to look for in a mate. how about getting a long, having the same taste in music? those things should matter more then someone who can't spell or types in caps. Get over yourself!

no you wont.. you love to see me doing that!! tehehee

That's true

I am. But on the serious side, I have learned that, as a writer, I really need to deal with people who have some ability to communicate via the written word. Everybody makes spelling and grammatical mistakes, and those shouldn't be held as some kind of Sword of Damocles over people's heads -- but, for me, if I can't understand what someone is trying to say in their writings, if I get a headache trying to decipher all of their incomprehensible manglish, then this is probably not someone I'm going to have a long-term future with.

I see it as just another standard, another preference. Some people feel they need to be with someone of a certain height, or weight, or age, or build, or job, or whatever. One of my own standards is built around literacy level. It's not good or bad -- it just is. We all have our own standards and we're all entitled to determine them for ourselves.



One person's "shallow" is another person's "selective" -- it's all semantics, in the end.

I am damn proud to be picky! As you grow up, you will learn that as well.

The way people carry themselves to me is important. I don't expect the person I date to have the same educational experience as me; however, being able to communicate at a 12 grade English level is the LEAST I can expect!

I do not ascribe to a person being less functional just because they didn't go college. I know better than to pigeonhole society. I do believe, however, that allowing written and verbal communication skills to slide will encumber their success at a better job and future.

I know I am saturated in a different world right now, and perfection is expected of me because I'm in graduate school, but I plan to continue my 'pickiness' after school as well!

It’s not wrong of me to want someone who presents himself well.

Once again, Lex, you are my hero!

You can afford to be picky

So can YOU!

well yeah there are standards but Im talking bout the people who wont even talk to you because you misspelled a word. People's standards that are unreal. like must make $100,000 a year, look like johnny depp ect.

With all respect Redhead, i am more fed up with people moaning about about all the 'nasty' people.

There have been a barrage of threads like this lately.
