I think not.

Just an observation, but I don't believe that there are a lot of English majors on this site. I realize that there is a lot of shorthand going on, but the shear amount of grammatical and spelling errors makes me believe that many here skipped English class altogether.

I think you are right!! I know there are times that I want to correct a lot of people, but I hold back. I know when I look at profiles, I want to send an email and say something~~but I don't, because that would be rude.

I did not think I had to be a perfect speller or have perfect grammar, in order to use this site. Must of missed that in the terms of usage when signing up last year. I am sorry, but I did not think I needed to be an |English major in order to find a date. But now I know that I will deffinetly keep it in mind.

Hmmm. I must really be in the wrong place then I'm French-Canadian.

Well said whisper.... Great grammer & spelling too!

bk - You're doing fine.

Whisper - Not passing judgment or giving out grades. Just making an observation.

The point of the site is to be social and relaxed. I figure if I can understand what a person is saying then we can communicate. I have pen pals from foreign countries, so I don't notice a lot of mistakes anymore.

Pull my finger. Pppppffffftttttt!!! Did I spell that right?

karma, my friend. We're not going to argue over grammar, too, are we?

I know a few words of French, but that's it.

Oui, non, Je ne sais pas.

BE NICE!!!

There are alot of people on here from all walks of life & some of them have learning disabilities or just lack of & how would you feel if by making this thread you hurt their feelings so they felt like they shouldn't post anymore???

That would really be sad!

Kick back & enjoy everybody!!
