Albertan_J Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Looking around on here it's obvious to see what text messaging has done to us all. Sometimes I have to resist the urge to correct peoples spelling mistakes! Totally pointless topic but I needed to get that off my chest.

Crouch valley Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I unfortunately suffer with dyslexia and the thought of someone on here pointing out the odd spelling mistake would not help me at all. i find it hard enough to reply to posts on here without some smart **** telling me ive made a mistake. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I have to resist the urge to correct peoples spelling mistakes! Totally pointless topic but I needed to get that off my chest. Totally agree :blink: People will always make the odd mistake here and there. We're not perfect. What really gets me is the lack of any punctuation in some posts, making them almost incomprehensible. I don't bother reading posts I can't understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 It's a bit like spoken communication; as long as the communication is understood it's not really a problem to me. For instance a friend of mine often says worst when the correct word is actually worse - I know what he means so why should I correct him? What really makes me chuckle is when heated debates degenerate into someone getting pedantic about spelling and / or grammar. When folks resort to that then they really have lost the argument in my opinion :blink: I do agree though that complete lack of grammar and punctuation makes some posts unreadable.

A friend of mine used to correct my spelling mistakes when i used to write to him when he was is in Prison! So i added a few more mistakes just to give him somthing to do..................... :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libs Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 What ever people write can they just please please remeber; if they were speaking what they had typed out loud, stick a full stop in roundabouts where they have needed to take a breath! 33 lines of continious, un-broken typing is very hard to understand, even if it makes perfect sense as you type it!

pigeonblasterian Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 The posts i give a miss are the ones with lots of deliberate spelling mistakes.Cannot understand why someone wants to look like an idiot.Would you want to invite anyone to go shooting who you think may be a bit slow.

scotttomo Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I don't so much mind the spelling mistakes and grammar if I'm honest, as I'm not that great at either, it's text speak I can't stand. In my eyes it's just lazy? Fair enough if your using a mobile phone, you have limited space (sometimes credit) and can shorten words, although I don't personally do it. But sitting in front of a computer with this big white box full of space and a keyboard I just doesn't make sense to me. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
