Spelling/Grammar

[Ellis]

When you are talking to someone online, and there is some level of flirting, is it a turn off when people use poor grammar/spelling? Is it a turn on? Do you do it/notice it/mind it?

[memorydream]

No, I don't think I mind. Many times there grammar and online "style" shows a great deal more subtle personality. Of course, if I don't know what they are saying, or there are too many typos, what are you supposed to do when you don't understand what they are saying?

[Ellis]

I should clarify, I suppose. Im talking about people who degrade to the level of; leik lol r u gunna b kk?
It irks me when these people ar eintelligent people in reality, but come across online as some sort of troglodite.

I agree 100%! (Excellent example!)

If not a good example, then what is man?

I always liked when I go to sickanimation.com and they have "Paly" for play. I think there are the kinds of regular slips on the keyboard, "I just can't spell," and my brain, left and right hands just aren't in sync.

Haha. Awesome. I have RA in both hands, so typing isnt as precise a science as it used to be. Im also going through a stage on sleeplessness, so my spelling is suffering. But I excuse all but the worst spelling, because it is really very easy to make a mistake... 8000000 times

A lot of my friends don't speak english as a first language so I just bear with it. I thought it was funny that couldn't spell my first name.

this is a dreadful thing for an anal-retentive grammar nazi to admit, but i'm starting to think that "the" can also be spelled "teh".

feh. the language should be flexible. rather than being monolithic.

Well I usually think that they don't speak English.. I think it is worse when they say something insulting or WORSE send really graphic photos.... That is really alarming and a total turn off. That only happened to me once, which is strange. I would think that I would get a lot more perverts... Most of my fan mail is really nice and polite.
