A question for the grammar natzis

April 06 2014

I just don't understand why this is so important to you?....Why do you equate correct spelling and grammar on here with the intelligence/ sexiness of a person? To be able to spell correctly is a gift,Like having blonde hair or brown eyes,why are you so judgemental of people who no matter how hard they try,will never have this skill?I just don't get it....would you sneer at someone who had a hearing impairment or a visual impairment?....Do you have any idea how crap people who have dyslexia feel when you hop on your little ponies about this?Quite frankly it is not a charming look,it makes you sound like a bigot.....grumpy Q

    I always fuck up my spelling and grammar when distracted or excited..... I'm easily distracted. I'm disgusted in myself when I read some of the shit I write! See normally I have the 'gift' of spelling... Along with my gift of blue eyes and a happy disposition! ;-)

    Quoting 'diet_coke777' if you can't spell, you're an idiot. Your profile say you are both "decent people that know when to be polite and what is appropriate and when". The way you chose to express your opinion does not how that I think. Oh, and it's "people who", not "people that".

    The subject of English at the schools I went to wasn't only graded on spelling and grammar, but also comprehension. The impression I always got, being that it's a two way street. So our natzis want it spoon fed now? Capish? Comprende?

    I'm severely dyslexic, I was lucky as it was discovered when I was 4 before I could even write my own name. As a young kid in primary school I would turn the page in my exercise book and start writing from the centre margin out in perfect mirror writing without realising it. I know the severe frustration of sitting in front of a piece of paper needing to write a simple word like 'oil' and having no idea how to, is iol or oil? They both looked right to me. With intensive training and the magical software that is spellcheck I've overcome most of my hurdles to the point where I actually get paid to write as a part of my living. So to answer your question about why it's so important to ME is because I've worked so fucking hard for it. I'm not judgmental about it though. I will admit to being attracted to a man of words far more than a man of looks. My slang term is "Thinking woman's crumpet." (Thanks for that apostrophe spellcheck) Belittling others is not OK at all & I think it has absolutely no way of gauging anyone's intelligence. (Thanks for that apostrophe too) Brilliantly said Cavey. I also had a gent that worked for me who was brilliant at what he did and I would fill in his job cards and time sheets for him. His first few weeks of employment were really hard for him, firstly for his embarrassment trying to do what he couldn't, then having to accept me doing it for him. I was extremely subtle and empathetic, but his brilliant work ethic and lovely personality soon had the whole workshop just doing it without him even noticing/caring. It was just teamwork. But I will never stop taking the piss out of Shy if she fucks up. I love watching her self flagellate

    Quoting 'diet_coke777' stupidity is NOT attractive. spelling is NOT difficult. ergo if you can't spell, you're an idiot. we are talking about language here folks. the ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE. it is the single most fundamental/core/imperative skill we will have and need for our entire lives. along with walking and eating it's the very first thing we learn to do after being born. there's a reason for that. if you consider that it's a skill necessary for SURVIVAL, you can see why it's instinctively so goddamn unattractive if you can't grasp it. Diet Coke, I belies belief that someone like yourself who purports to be educated can be so judgmental on those who are not able to spell. A big jump in conclusion to declalre that stupidity is associated to inability to spell. There is no solid logic thread in there, kids. Your assumptions are incorrect and down-right small minded and mean to those who are not able to spell. As the saying goes, SHIT ASSUJMPTIONS = SHIT CONCLUSIONS. Get you facts right. I have worked and consulted to companies with men who are very successful but are unable to spell (well not very well). They have left school at a very young age as the school system have failed to recognize and nurture their capabilities and intelligence. They are forward thinkers and would leave the hoi polloi for dead with their wonderful dreams, ambitions and ideas. Despite the initial set backs, they have achieved far more that what was expected of them. Most of all, they have given back to their community to help the disadvantaged. These experiences are humbling. I would put it that your inexperience in life (youth should not be an excuse) has led you to some narrow minded ignorant views on some sectors of our community. That is sad and I hope you GROW UP and appreciate that the world we live is does not operate in absolutes, not black and white. There are lots of grey areas that require our patience and understanding, not the uneducated bigoted judgment attitude you have just displayed. Research and think out your stuff before jumping into any conclusions because it shows you in a very bad light. Take care.

    Somewhere, somehow people seem to associate spelling with intelligence. While this is partly true, I believe there are many forms of intelligence. There is social intelligence, mechanical/engineering intelligence, arts and cultural intelligence, nature and environmental intelligence...and the list could go on and on. Take for example the high school OP grade. This test measures what you have retained after what has been shown to you...thus the need for the test. I struggled with this as I forgot and ended up with a terrible OP score and could not enter uni. We were trained to think that if we didn't go to uni we would not live up to our potential and live a successful life...bloody deputy principal told us that. So when I got a shit score I thought I was doomed for failure. Well no offence when I say this....fuck you and fuck all the people who have such a small mind. We are all different and have many and varied talents and skills. I worked with a bloke who couldn't read and write, but you get him to tell you what was wrong with your motorbike and what part and part number was needed to fix it, he would know. All this just by listening to it run. Worked with a woman who was so aware of her surroundings (people). That she would be the person who would prevent arguments, tension etc before anything happened. She knew how to diffuse a situation. As for me, I have done well. I am now in a leadership role and have gained a lot of life experience instead of going to uni. Because what happens or what is said in a book, isn't always that way in real life...talking from an engineering/mining/construction/sociology point of view.

    An exclamation mark usually shows strong feeling, such as surprise, anger or joy. Using an exclamation mark when writing is rather like shouting or raising your voice when speaking. Exclamation marks are most commonly used in writing quoted speech. You should avoid using exclamation marks in formal writing, unless absolutely necessary.

    Luck; I'll just hold the camera eh??.......I'm using the iPad with this one so sue me for the formatting...the thing is, so many statements can have a completely different meaning without some grammatical correctness. For example: fuck me mum; this sounds a bit weird, but with a simple grammar correction it would read; fuck me, mum!! I know which of those two sentences I'd much rather ;)

    OK I'll be the first one to admit my spelling is a shocker But English is not my first language and it was not a priority in school and also I have dyslexia and this is a learning disorder as to how our brain perceive letters and numbers and to a full word Groing up as a teen i had very hard time at scool because of this IE ( being called stupid etc.) I was in my late teens when I was diegnosed with the diorder and where I came from there wasn't any special school to help. As for spell check I use it very often but it's not very correct and it does not help for punctuation in a sentence something else I have been told I don't due in English. In my own language I'm not the best but it is better than English anyway I applaud Qefenta2 topic and others on here that have some respect toward people like myself. There is also an other disabilities that is not looked well on by members on here as well to the general public but I found since I lost my leg I often get the prejudice look and most people don't' have the guts to say it out-write but people in our situation can tell just by the way they talk or body language so please don't discriminate on things that are not our fault and that we can not change

    Firstly (I must address this) - Good spelling is not a gift. It is learnt. Secondly - I judge the whole package, not just their command of English. That said, some good wordsmithing is very hard to beat. My favourite people are those that claim to be spelling or grammar nazis, but have no idea themselves. They become even funnier when they "correct" you incorrectly. I had a fellow do this a little while back. He thought he was soooo clever, but he simply looked dumb.

    Grammar is the difference between helping your uncle jack off a horse and your Uncle Jack off a horse. Why does it matter? This is place where we are communicating by the written word. It makes it very important. Another reason it matters is the attention to detail. Same as your job application. If you're uncaring about how you communicate then what does that suggest about how you work (or have sex)? Sex is most definitely a form of communication, full of subtle nuances. (Well, unless you just go at it hard and fast, which is also a good thing!) For me, that's what it has to do with how sexy someone is. But if you want to equate the ability to use correct spelling and grammar with things like blonde hair and blue eyes, think of it like this. Not everyone is into blondes. Is it a deal breaker? No. I know it could be a learning disorder, but if someone is using 'text speak'... argh. No thank you. I have to admit that I mentally edit everything I read, but in a social context such as this I'll not correct people. Just yesterday I met a woman I was incredibly attracted to, and this didn't lessen when she asked me how to spell a rather common word.

    You think English is easy? 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture.. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.. 19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

There are other interaction for example business interaction...we use different checks for it and language skill may give us some indication...but certainly we are not here to give or take English test..

    Is the assumption, that just because I have a preference to a level of spelling and grammar, that :- A). I'm going to correct everything every time. B) that it's an instant "NO" if I were to be contacted by someone with a lesser emphasis on their skills. That's not always the case. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Amazing how people are quick to judge you. Admittedly lots of people have better grammar and spelling than me but I am guessing that their ability to pick faults in others is high in their skill sets. Reow ! lol

    ...let's say you have met an amazing person in real life, at a bar, at a festival, speed dating, whatever. You are besotted by their wit, charm, capacity for conversation and engagement. They're also very hot. You hit it off. You exchange numbers, talk often, line up a second date, and a third, etc etc etc. You are both keen as mustard. All this has taken place before a message, email or letter has been sent between you. Then it happens. You communicate by the written word and their (sic) are typos. Whatcha gonna do? Backtrack, reassess, bail out? Hmmm. Awaiting your answers, my friends.

    What did I do? I married him. And when he needed help writing letters, PD's etc, I gladly helped him. Funny that, people can actually accept people as they are. Yes, I appreciate good spelling and grammar but that doesn't mean I won't like you as a person just because you have other talents.

I would guess they wouldn't share they are breaking there own rules or just not mention their new find isn't an english/grammar scholar. Talk about sweating the small stuff in life.If I have time I am pretty good at messages, if I am rushed, not so.Pretty poor if people take first impression only and don't look at the whole package. And for Q2 that isn't a package in a hole.. well...

    Quite simple Unrushed, you help them - if they want help. My ex has dysgraphia. Our meeting and the foundation of our relationship was as you described; a whirlwind of intellectual engagement and passion. It was a real shock for me when I first read something he had written some months into our relationship. More so as writing has always played a substantial role in my life both professionally and privately. He could wax lyrical on any subject, but don't ever ask him to write his opinion. He would avoid writing as he was ashamed he could not express himself clearly through text. If he ever needed to write anything for work (which was rare as he is a chippy) then he would use a voice to text app, or he would write some notes which I would then use to create text (mostly for tenders etc where the voice to text would have hissy fits because of the terminology). Being a proud man he never liked asking for help. Being a stubborn man meant he would often not ask for help. But help was always available if he so desired.

    Quoting 'ShyPrincess74' I judge a person on how they treat me, and how they intrigue me. If I meet someone in person and they are fascinating, I'm still fascinated when I find out they are functionally illiterate or write in text speak, for example. As I've said before, I don't expect others to live up to the high grammatical standards I set for myself. I guess it's a law of attraction though, that if someone writes and speaks in a way that appeals to me, I'll be interested. The medial prefrontal cortex wants what the medial prefrontal cortex wants. ;-) not just a lobotomy, but thoughts of the frontal lobottomy is like an inner eye worm now.

    Maybe we just need to unpack the intention of correcting a different way. So many people would allow their egos to wreak havoc and reply with "you must think I'm dumb etc". Quite often that's hardly the case if you unpack the intention that someone more skilled, is actually sharing their knowledge in an attempt to educate. Hardly the Nazi in that situation eh??
