freckledbird - have a hug.
For those that can't tolerate (hmmmm - there's an interesting word for a swinging site) bad spelling/grammar etc, here's an idea . . . . . . .
Skip that thread/post.
Oooooooooo private lessons - there's a thought :twisted:
Right, who can't spell ? lol

its very very worrying,are half the country illiterate??

Whilst I understand your particular viewpoint on the general level of basic grammatical education, spelling accuracy and vocabulary of people using this site, I really do believe that questioning someones parentage is off-limits.

Oh, and where do I need to go for these private lessons ?

lol i have just read on another site about a bloke who was " reinburst " for his " inishul " outlay. :lol:
I have no problem with misspellings or poor grammar, mine isn't perfect, so I'm in no position to comment on anyone else.
When there is absolutly no effort made to make it readable, or it's total text speak then I just won't make the effort to interpret it.
I also dislike it when it's done deliberatly to look cute or girly by women, but when it bugs me too much, I take this advice.

it took me a minute to figure out what that said.
In my far off school days ( trendy 70's and all that) , we were instructed that "trivia" like grammar, spelling and punctuation wouldl not count in the world that we were going to be living in, as long as you get your point across!, because computers would be doing all stuff like english and maths for us!
I do tend to have bad spelling days but often am loath to use a spell checker because of the conflicts with words such as "colour" ( No! it is not wrong ! No I don't want to correct it! to read "color" ! in fact just pi**** off and let me get on ! .... yes I Do want to type " p****" off ! " , No! I did not mean "peas" etc etc.

I am the world's worst person for correcting people. Many of the regulars on here will say it.

Really? :shock:
I hadn't noticed innocent
To each their own I say. There are those who can spell and use words that the rest of us can barely comprehend, there are those who have real trouble grasping long or complex words. As long as it's comprehendable English then it shouldn't matter about their spelling abilities or level of education. After all, the intelligent ones who can spell perfectly etc should be able to fathom the poor levels of English that others sometimes come out with.

That looks to me like looking down your nose, piss taking as opposed to light-hearted banter piss taking.
Have you considered this . . . . . . . .

Sorry to disagree P-nut but I was of that 70's era as well, but despite the lackadaisical teacher's attitudes, I have always tried to punctuate and spell as accurately as possible. Ok, I may put a few too many commas into text at times, but I view precision in the written word as being a true reflection of my "nocturnal" attention to detail. It's something that my previous meets have certainly enjoyed..... wink
I'm sure there are those out there who appreciate "rough" in the same way that I appreciate a well used apostrophe! The typing is just further proof of how compatible each of us is for a conducive time together.
Each to their own. smile
i can`t spell very well so dawn does it for me
yes i am slow and stupid so she tells me
but i`m good with my hands
got a IQ of zero
so i think i will shoot myself
or have i got mad cow disease
think i will lock myself in miks69 shed
and i don`t care
I'm from the 70s era too and my English teacher was completely anal about grammer, which I suppose he should have been given his job :giggle: We had to know how to write letters for different situations, eg formal, informal, job applications etc but they don't seem to teach all that these days rolleyes

Sounds like fun. Now we have to look for a single bi female slut with the ability to spell. Shouts to Mrs Tweeky next door " LUVVVVV, I think its a seven year search not a five year one"
Best of luck. What you will more often than not find is someone educated to around the same level as yourself. Which means fu*k all anyway in the greater scheme of life.

Note to MOD's
I have so far skilfully avoided voicing my opinion in this thread as I believe it to be a very cleverly disguised troll, however tonight is vodka nite and I am uncertain if I can control the urge to post once the triple distilled nectar reaches the parts that the educators couldn't.
I therefore would politely request that if I post anything other than this post in here tonight, please delete with extreme prejudice.
many thanks
Pete.

When lying on my dying bed
And all my secrets telling,
That’s when I’ll tell the whole wide world
That I was crap at spelling.
Throughout a troubled childhood
I gawped at rows of text,
Without a clue just what it said
Or what the Hell came next.
My mother shook her head and cried
My Dad was apoplectic,
My Granny thought that I’d been cursed
And Teachers went dyspeptic.
I tried to learn my Ps and Qs
And order words by rote,
But half way through each class I thought:
‘Oh shit…I’ll get me coat’.
The lads at work all took the piss:
They seemed to be my betters,
In honour of my spelling curse
They christened me ‘ Mick Sletters!’
I grew so angry and dismayed
I thought I’d try Black Magic,
But just like everything before,
The consequence was tragic:
They threw me out upon my ear
Amid some vicious banter,
When it emerged when signing in
I’d pledged myself to Santa.
And then when I got married,
It ended just the same,
Didn’t make it past the Vestry door…
(I couldn’t spell my name).
And when my parents passed away
It left a hole in me:
‘I luv yew Mumm’-the gravestone said…
‘An yew Dadd.
My working life was just as bad
I tried to no avail,
Looking back, it wasn’t smart
To work for Royal Mail.
I longed for friends and company
And though I’d try speed dating
But owing to a spelling blip
I ended up speed skating.
But then I met an old man
Who took pity on this fool
And said he’d share a secret
Which he called ‘The Spelling Rule’.
‘Oh please', I said, 'how can I spell?’
And fell to my knees just pleading:
‘To spell’, he said, ‘just buy some books
And spend much more time reading’.
My 2p worth...........
Intelligence and Education are 2 entirely different things .........
If you can spell you are educated and......... not necessarily intelligent !!!
I love to read all the posts on here ............. gramatically correct or not !

That's possibly the most sensible thing you have ever posted Osmosis :thumbup:
Hope the back gets better soon ;)
