It's annoying to the reader to figure out at times misspelled words. It also shows that the original poster doesn't care to edit his own posts, so why should other people take the time to bother reading them. Finally, it's not attractive and shows a lact of intellect. There's nothing wrong with the occasional typo, but sentence after sentence of misspelled words is pathetic.

Bang.


This was gonna be MY response (with "lack" spelled right, of courselaugh), but LandRover got to it first.flowerforyou

So...Bang, Bang


I was wondering when someone was gonna nail me for that!!:tongue:

As far as grammar and punctuation? Example:

Wanna go f_ck? (this is an invitation to do something)

Wanna go, f_ck? (this is an invitation using a term of endearment)laugh laugh laugh laugh

There's a difference between typo and misspelling to the point of uneducated ignorance. I can appreciate the fact that some people may not be the best of typists or spellers, but honestly, if I have to work harder to READ what the person says than to actually reply, then they need to check their spelling. It's not that complicated.


what about grammer and punctuation?


Grammar is a big deal. If you're going to put yourself out there in a dating environment such as this, you should at least attempt to make yourself seem as intelligent as you are. Punctuation, to a point, I guess wouldn't be horrible if you didn't use it. Little things like forgetting a period in one sentence isn't a big deal, but if you have one long run on, that just shows you to be too lazy to put punctuation in your sentences.


I am guilty of not always using correct punctuation but I at least try to make the sentence understandable. I may use a comma where a period should be used or similiar errors, but as long as the point has gotten across it is ok for me. All I ask is that I am able to understand what is trying to be said.


Agreed. I think there's a very fine line between what is acceptable. As long as it's understandable and thought through, I'll be happy.

Interesting concept. Thanks.
