I should hope there are many more important/significant things than my spelling or grammar to annoy people![]()

It's like I keep saying.... I wish people would acknowledge EVERYONE has a right to post their OWN thoughts on here. And maybe starting a thread and pulling a person apart for doing something is every bit as bad as the supposed thing that upset the author in the first place... :crazy:
Why can't everyone just say what they want, I bored with this 'she said this, he said that'.
People.. please post your thoughts then go have some fun...

In another thread, after being pulled up for his spelling, a poster has defended himself, saying that he is dyslexic. This is followed by a critical post, about people "claiming to be dyslexic".

Seriously now. I spell perfectly as you all know (but I do have a bugger of a keyboard that won't do as I say!)
I have been picked up on my spelling and I really don't have an issue with that even though I do take some care in trying to make sure it is correct.
When I come on here I usually don't have a lot of time to read everything and I often skim things. When I come across something that is badly written with spelling and grammatical mistakes then I lose interest and just move on. Basically I'm not prepared to put in the extra effort in interpreting something that is nigh on imcomprehensible - even though it may have a gem hidden in it. Sorry - my loss maybe but it is a value judgement that I make.
Clear communication is really the key. I know that many think my posts are incomprehensible but then I live with that!
Be happy and chill!![]()

I have been lucky enough to have had an old fashioned schooling, where spelling, grammar and punctuation were an essential part of the education.
I was also an attentive student, I wasn't ill very often, and so I gained the most out of the school system.
Not everyone has been as lucky as me.
For some time now I have been getting increasing annoyed at posts being criticised because of the author's spelling.
In another thread, after being pulled up for his spelling, a poster has defended himself, saying that he is dyslexic. This is followed by a critical post, about people "claiming to be dyslexic".
Now my point is this -
Everyone on this forum has a right to agree, disagree, or debate someone else's point of view.
But does anyone on this forum have the right to criticise, make fun of, or belittle someone's post purely because of the spelling?
Not in my opinion.

My spelling issues are primarily to do with the difficulty I have in using a keyboard and my inability to proof read. My hand written English is perfectly fine. I am delighted; at last I will be able to appear to be literate on line.
Blimey I love it when you manage to find a solution to a problem you weren't even looking for a solution for.
