I don't have any issues with rather off spelling or diction or grammar or even punctuation.
What does grind my gears are the people who are obnoxious twunts. They can be good spellers or bad spellers, too, by the way. It's the positive actions and the interactions of the people who post here from all backgrounds and from honest perspectives that keeps me coming back, not whether they can spell 'carburettor'. I know sometimes some folks are hard to understand, but please just bear with them. Being elitist here just makes the forum look like a snobbish place to be, and everyone with something to contribute should be able to post without being slammed, or having their posts wiped. My .02 of course.

In addition to acknowledging the likes of learning disabilities and dyslexia, relative to this thread, I'm very disappointed to read members being referred to as dumb and morons (a different post). I'd sooner read a mispelt post than a post belittling others. But for the grace of .... |

The two methods I use to assist people are:
- lead by example - inform them when they make a mistake Those who choose not to pay attention or accept constructive criticism are either ignorant or self-righteous. |

Ive encountered many a person incapable of filling out an application form, let alone, string together a legible sentence. I blame this on parents, children should have the basics down before starting school. However, stupid says, stupid does. And there goes another illiterate generation.

Ok just my 2cs worth.
i` like to think that i was taught reasonable english,punctuation and grammer in school but occasionely i mess up . a few things. SMS style talk is dumb and lazy,should be frowned upon Not everyone is real good at spelling Each to there own . if ya cant spell real flash but make the effort to contribute to this forum, well kudos ! looks like a few people are not getting a good grip on the `real world` I make an effort to type stuff properly ( it doesn`t always work out ok though ![]() End of day ? ![]()

What a load of toss, i have never read such rubbish before in my life, just because someone can't spell you want to deny them access from a forum, My spelling and grammer is poor, i left school when i was 15, and was told by people like you I would go no where, well 20 years later i work for myself as a builder, have had 6 or so apprentices and a number of employes working for me at various times.. yet these very people that told me i would go no where are still doing their same pathetic job, working for the same pathetic education system that pushed the poor learners to the side, and tells them they are useless.
People like you should be banned for trying to make yourselves feel better by belittling people who genuinly struggle.. get over yourself... |

I'd settle for a ban for the day for anyone who uses the word 'loose' incorrectly... and a week for anyone who uses 'alot'.

There is a very big difference between those that just stuff up some words .... I do it often ..... and those who are just too bone lazy and use SMS. There have been a few warnings issued in extreme cases as it really does my head in!

Well everyones entitled to voice their view I guess... Far as I'm concerned they MUST only spell two words correctly - Ford and Blue.

I have no problem with a little bit of sms speak or some mistakes here and there, but sometimes things are said on here which just do my head in. If English is your first language then you should be able to get your point across to a different variety of people without them having to read the sentence more than once, but so many times here this doesn't happen. Having said that I think that it would be difficult to implement a system which combats this, and it's just something which we have to deal with. |

For me personally, I couldn't give a rats tossbag if you choose to communicate via the medium of pictographs scrawled on a cave wall with your own dung!
IMO it's the content of the message and not the fancy bells and whistles wrapping that it comes in. When did petrol heads become such a hoity toity lot? |

and this coming from the OP "I don't even give a damn if people miss out a letter or misspell a word, however after observing a number threads on a variety of forums, I propose a simple grammar test before users can sign up."
Has no one noticed he missed out using the word "of".... I call for an immediate ban. But back on topic, lets rid this forum of the SMS speak. |

Interesting that I knew an engineer that worked making weapons for the defence force (electronics boards for the guidance systems) yet was absolutely horrible with his spelling. You must be a genius!

I do love how people quote my original post, then make comments about spelling.
To quote myself "I don't even give a damn if people miss out a letter or misspell a word" Yes it is a controversial idea, and if some of you read my other posts you'd see that I don't actually believe it would work, I wanted to see what people thought of the idea, not have them tell me I'm a racist elitist bigot who picks on the disabled ![]() |
