It's : "men (or 'women', not to offend the politically correct Nazis) 'WHO' spell correctly, not men 'THAT' spell correctly! One utilises "who" for people and "that" for inanimate objects. Simple. So all youse that say : "I am after a woman/man 'that' likes..." .... WRONG!! You need to say : "I am after a woman/man WHO likes..." Thanks for the opportunity to point this out :)

Quoting 'ShyPrincess74' I'm not even going to begin on your crimes against punctuation. I'm also assuming that you're using "youse" ironically. I am, however, a fan of a person who knows how to wield a relative pronoun correctly, so you go girl (or guy, if you're all politically correct and care about that kind of thing!) ;-) Love it!

* Oh and by the way, when was there ever a T in Nazis? 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 Vs 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 judgmental 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 Now to rebut if I may. Correct spelling is no more a gift than goddamn common sense, or manners or being able to write a novel. Next thing you'll be telling us that an ability to do basic maths is also a gift, that being able to read an analogue clock, or tie or your own shoelaces is a "gift", and furthermore you really must learn to distinguish people who spell bad slash people who can't read good i.e zoolander, from people who are just lazy, generally incompetent, and addicted to txt spk. Bad punctuation is everywhere on the internet, but so is racism, and that is supposed to make it okay? Well, heil hitler! PS. if you have dyslexia I'm genuinely sorry, but if you don't and your (not you're) spelling is still totes terrible then I'm sorry but you're just lazy, ill-informed and quite possibly a greens supporter.

Quoting 'wnwwab14' Correct spelling is no more a gift than goddamn common sense, or manners or being able to write a novel. wnwwab14 obviously has none of these. A sense of irony obviously eludes him two.

Really? No. Really? I know irony when I see it, but if the OP is trying to be ironic then epic fail peeps. If I had to concede it actually resembled something coherent, I'd say it was closer to satire. Though how can you have satire without wit, or even a point? And correct me if I'm wrong here, but even if you win an argument on the internet, that's not really winning is it? Its just pissing into the wind.... Correct grammar on the internet? Now that's just.... an urban myth. Unless you're using a smartphone in which case, autocorrect much like North Korea, creates more problems than it ever solves. See, that right there was a witticism. Or how about, ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer? That is what you call a rhetorical statement.... So much for trying to enlighten the lower classes. When the average adult has the reading comprehension of an eight year old, topics like this are the end result. Now, that is ironic. And funnier still, I wasn't even trying. Thanks for playing, Nazis. To exclude someone from a "public" forum for having an "opinion" that isn't the vox populi, well... welcome to democracy.... isn't it just the greatest thing since Animal Farm?

So while you're denigrating people as the lower classes for their social standing, your arrogance is showing. Your own punctuation leaves a great deal to be desired, your opinions are self serving as in them you are trying to belittle others to artificially elevate yourself and terribly hypocritical. Aren't you trying to win an argument on the internet. I guess pissing in the wind must be a hobby of yours. If you like, there would be many here more than happy to piss on you.Another glaring error of your last post is the statement, "And funnier still, I wasn't even trying." In actuality, you are very trying.

Being relatively new here, you are not familiar with Q's word play but she is actually a very skilled and accomplished writer. In the real world, she is a philosopher and poet of high regard. I have met her in person and exchanged many emails privately. I have read a selection of her poems and she has read one of my short stories as I have the utmost respect for her talent and opinion.In the bakery (a term you may not yet be familiar with but is how long term forumites refer to the Red Hot Pie forums), Qefenta role-plays. Her writing reflects the character she plays and she does so very effectively.It's very obvious that you hold yourself in very high regard but, if you do choose to argue with Q on the internet, you will indeed be pissing in the wind as you will have no idea who you are arguing with and when and how you have lost that argument. In this case, the argument was lost as soon as you started correcting her as her mistakes were deliberate and you presented yourself as being exactly the kind of judgemental bigot this thread was baited for. Hook, line and sinker, my friend.

Quoting 'Qefenta2' For all of you who regard the written word so highly,why not volunteer at a local school.or at an Adult Literacy program......help reduce the numbers of adults who are functionally illiterate.... Which currently in this country around fifty per cent xx Q It was so rewarding, I used to take a small handful of polished stones with me and get whoever I was with to choose and hold one while they were reading. I had the pleasure of catching up with one of them recently. We remembered each other, and they shared that had good memories of our time, and so do I!

I thought the stats were higher but you are bang on, about 50% is confirmed by the ABS. Not bad going. After living an eon in the UK where 1 in 5 are functionally illiterate.... we aint doin too bad 'ere 'ey? I'd like to share a lovely story based on your call to volunteer. I was a beer wench in a pub near Wormwood Scrubs (a Prison in West London). Being an Aussie, for some strange reason, we have "tell me" tattooed to our foreheads if we pull pints. A gent confessed to me that he was illiterate and desperately wished it wasn't so and made me promise to say nought to no one. He sat at the left of the bar regularly of an evening. I slowly spent time with him and tried to teach him ineffectively. To my right was a lovely lady, a school teacher, she slipped in for 2 black velvets every afternoon after school on her way home. (A black velvet is 50/50 cider & Guinness and well worth trying). I eventually convinced him of my ineffectiveness and got the two of them together, it was beautiful. She felt amazing worth, he didn't feel denigrated and before I knew it, we had a study corner. He brought friends to a trusted place, she brought friends to help with the bigger numbers. This rough pub I started working in full of crims became a haven to learn. I'm not taking credit, Black Velvet Lady did it all. But to see the difference one person can make is inspiring. You may move a rock, but an avalanche can ensue. In a very good way.

I had trouble finding the letters on the typewriter, when I finally finished what I had started writing, often had led to other things as it took so bloody long too write as fast as I was thinking, I had thought of other things in the meantime. I am still just guessing where to put commas and : and ; even's. As too spelling, shit the page of words was one long red line, some words I spell wrong all the time like thier and doupt, well for the first time I had too change those two to make them wrong, only took two years, he he. Though what I have found the best thing with writing is not knowing how too spell the word I am thinking for and looking it up on google, often it's exactly the word for the meanings it represents. A lot of words have half a page of meanings and can say many things. It's true I was not often in school, well not in the high school years though I have always enjoyed writing, even have my Steadler pencil from school, the blue one with three jaws that holds the nice thick soft lead/graphite sticks too replace, hard to find in the shops, so I pull apart wooden pencils in stead. It is also true that I have been in true love with Tara since day dot and I have been writing my feelings too her by words of love for all these years, she has a box full of pages, stories, poems, songs, fantasies the lot. They are riddled with spelling mistakes, though she can read them and has never said "you spelt that wrong", usually she just says come here I love you. So spelling is not as important, writing the words is. I think so any way. Oh and some words just hit peoples buttons no matter how they are said or spelt, often leading to reading things wrong and putting a story of their own around a word or two them selves. Speed readers, I call it, though I like to take time and read to think of the posts, read between the lines (so to speak), try read it as it was written and look for the meanings instead of letting trigger words change the story told. I still see people behind these words. If someone takes the time to write something, then I shall take the time to read them, as often there is feelings that come with the words, admittedly there is some in here that are closed off to feelings, it is not hard to read.

Quoting 'RunAwayJoinCircz' My personal gripe is people who insist that word definitions HAVE to mean what they were defined as a zillion years ago. I'm sorry, that's not how language works, a word means whatever the generally recognised consensus definition is. So If I say something's "Brilliant" don't get all smug and say "Hmmm really hmm hmm, I don't see any bright lights around hmm hmmm" If I say "That's Fantastic" don't be all "Hmmm well actually hmmm It's quite realistic and has nothing to do with fantasy mwahmmm hmm" I just heard someone say "Apocalyptic" is actually mwehmmm a kind of 'Show' so only an idiot would use it to describe a catastrophe hmm mmm! Fuckoff professor who's still a virgin. What's the actual original meaning of Douche Bag? Does anyone ever correct you like that? I have never seen it happen to anyone!

That's just me. Call me "Retentive" if You choose. In High School, my English Teacher and my Metalwork Teacher both taught "Measure Twice, Cut Once". I make my living by putting forward a Detailed, Correctly Spelt, Grammatically Relevant, Numerically Proven, Case, on behalf of My Customers. F7 is My Friend, but not My Saviour. I use "Demonstrated" to say "Historically Proven and Realistically Achievable". Hence, my Grammar is not perfect. I've just finished watching "The Killing Field" from Channel 7 last Sunday. The Opening Screen said : "Not all serial killers have high IQ's. But if you spend a lot of time doing something, you get really good at it." That's a Brilliant Opener, not overly Palatable, but in the context of the Movie, it is Brilliant !

To me it's all situational. If you're in a chat room and the point is to reply quickly to the topic before it gets washed away into nothing, I'm more than fine with abbreviations, typo's, and all the rest. But if you're sending me a cover letter for a job I've advertised where you've just spent 3 years getting a degree to apply for it, plus it's got typo's, punctuation problems and poor grammar all over the place, you immediately get a 'no thank you' from me. Not everyone has good spelling skills, but if you've had days to prepare a document, the spelling tools are at your disposal to get it right. I work in an industry where determination and high attention to detail are required, so it's an insight into how you might perform. I guess it's all about the perceived effort for the situation. This is a social forum where people are using their mobile on their way to lunch, between meetings, between putting the oven on and pulling the washing out of the dryer - if you're rushed, you're rushed, no problem. I think the potential issue here is that those that put the effort into spelling and grammar might (maybe, not necessarily) just perceive that if you can't make the effort to get a little spelling right, that you're not a 'make the effort person'. But like I said, this is a social place to me, so let it all hang out, if you have something interesting to say then I'm happy to read it, judgement free of your spelling.

The Chaos - Gerard Nolst Trienté (1922) Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it's written.) Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak: Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. Hear me say, devoid of trickery, Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore, Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles, Exiles, similes, and reviles; Scholar, vicar, and cigar, Solar, mica, war and far; One, anemone, Balmoral, Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel; Gertrude, German, wind and mind, Scene, Melpomene, mankind. Billet does not rhyme with ballet, Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet. Blood and flood are not like food, Nor is mould like should and would. Viscous, viscount, load and broad, Toward, to forward, to reward. And your pronunciation's OK When you correctly say croquet, Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, Friend and fiend, alive and live. Ivy, privy, famous; clamour And enamour rhyme with hammer. River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb, Doll and roll and some and home. Stranger does not rhyme with anger, Neither does devour with clangour. Souls but foul, haunt but aunt, Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant, Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger, And then singer, ginger, linger, Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge, Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age. Query does not rhyme with very, Nor does fury sound like bury. Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth. Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath. Though the differences seem little, We say actual but victual.
