By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

OK, I've just read another ranting profile about 'people not reading our profile'. I'm not suprised! A dozen lines of text with no full stops, commas in the wrong place, spelling mistakes, etc.

How hard can it be to write a profile in good English? Is it because they don't know how? Or just don't care? If the latter, why should we care when it comes to reading it?

There, rant over!

I would happily charge a small fee to help edit profiles and such... Because yes, I'm a teacher and a self proclaimed grammar Nazi... And those who criticize are just jealous.

And the use of txt speak. What is all that about ? It takes us twice as long to decipher it, as it would to read it in plain English.

Without wanting to be too critical your own profile is hard to read with lots of errors. Have you re-read your own sentences back to yourself?

But like every one has said before no one reads them anyway.

The notion that our fabulous language is in some way owned and controlled by a bunch of worthless, murdering brigands is obnoxious in the extreme. Having got that out of the way, we concur with your general point and feel no need to point out that 'queens' is missing an apostrophe. Shit. We just did. Sorry 'bout that.

We just read his profile. Pretty much everything Edgar Allan Poe wrote was complete made-up bollocks and a Poe poem {sic] constitutes half of the profile. The man is a wannabe vampire. Will I read his profile again? Nevermore!

Nice Poe quote in the final word.

I think the phrase "pretentious twaddle" is evoked by the rather long and rambling profile.

No wonder nobody has read it.

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt if it looks like a person is dyslexic or has another learning difficulty. Indeed I have asked this in the past.

But laziness and "txt spk" are good ways to lose my interest. If you can't put a little effort into your profile and messages, why should I assume you'll put effort into sex?

Playing devils advocate it's a sign of the times. My parents and grandparents didn't like how I slang talked. These 'slang' words are now acceptable and are in the Oxford dictionary. Just as some of these text words and abbreviations are starting to creep in.

Queen's English is a must. It says a lot about the person writing the profile. You wouldn't drive around in a shitty car or live in a home that was an homage to Tracey Emin.......or would you?

"I'm not bothered how people write as long as i can understand what they are saying then it's fine with me.

I havn't noticed that how people write affects how they play

I have found that if people write poorly then a high percentage of them turn out to be timewasters. May be other reasons of course but I now use it as a " filter"."

I, the fem, havn't found that at all in fact recently i would say the opposite is true.

"I would happily charge a small fee to help edit profiles and such... Because yes, I'm a teacher and a self proclaimed grammar Nazi... And those who criticize are just jealous.

Should you be starting a sentence with because?

Oh my goodness. I'm not writing a book; this is a forum. Actually, one can start a sentence with "because".... Because the fancy, uptight TS/TV person overseas is up my buttocks about the casual use of my writing skills, I am being forced to concoct a complex sentence.

It was you that claimed to be a grammar Nazi!"

Yes of course. One is legally my wife, but we (all three ) think of ourselves as equals. So I am their husband and they are my wives. Each wife looks on the other as their wife. Either will introduce me as their husband as I introduce either/both as my wife. We live as three and think as three.

There is no legal concept of 'common law wife'.

You are either legally married or not. One of those women is your wife, the other is not and will not be recognised by the state as being related if you die.

I think my point is pretty obvious.

You have one wife and another relationship with another woman.

You can call her your wife if you want but it no more makes her your wife than me caling our dog a kangaroo makes him a kangaroo. .

The state will recognise one of these relationships and not the other.

I make no other point.

We understand this but so what?

How we think of ourselves is what matters. You have not said anything that we didn't know already and have made as much provision as pos for.

I do not see how this has added to this conversation in any way?

What has this got to do with the original post?

I find it a turn off reading messages that we receive from 50 year old people that read like:

Wud luv fun with yous!!

We are a couple not a cupple !

The list could go on. Why can't people just grow up and speak to people in an adult manner? It gets you further. Well, certainly with us. And before people say 'it's fab it's not school' I agree. But people have to find connection with each other. And this is not one of ours.

This keeps coming up as an "excuse"...but there are such things as spell checkers. Profile text could be written in a word processing application...then pasted in.

And this isn't meant in any way to be taking the mickey....my middle daughter is dyslexic.....but it hasn't stopped her qualifying as a doctor! So hardly an excuse for a crap profile?

dyslexia doesn't apply when people type things like "could of" instead of "could have" - or "we was" instead of "we were" - it's just the way they speak. Nothing wrong with that per se, just makes it very difficult for some people to make a connection with them.

Typing errors such as iwth instead of with are different, as are autocorrect errors, which for me are much more "forgiveable" lol
