Speiling. Can nobody do basic spelling anymore. Not complicated stuff just basic words.

No, the general standard of spelling is dropping. The number of times I've had mates asking me how to spell some of the most basic words amazes me :eek: If you have a reason thats perfectly fine. To be honest, although it is often possible to make out what someone has written, it takes several re-reads before you can understand it fully - this means it takes at least twice as long to read it and I get bored very easily so will tend to skip that post :D Far too much SMS text speak too - this really does my head in :rant: If you can't be arsed to write a proper sentence then don't bother writing it at all... It doesn't take a minute to read over what you've written before posting it either ;)

 

All IMHO of course ;) :D

 

Well said Andy and Apache earlier, it's not rocket science to be articulate and actually make sense when posting

Totally agreed and why not spell check it if your not sure, I always do.

Correct spelling also helps when using "search"....

If everyone spelled words correctly maybe you'd be right. In fact thats maybe why people can never find stuff when they use the search facility? :confused: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ;)

my problem is that sometimes im unable to read things clearly, this also goes for people with dysexia, am i to be berated every time i make a post with a speling mistake?

 

prehaps you should read some of my posts on the lotus clubb site, no problems there with my lack of spelling, they bear with me and if need be ask me to re-post things they dont understand.

 

i deal with enough biggotry and frustration as it is, i hope it doesnt spill over to this place. i get pissed off every min of the day, not being able to speak properly anymore let alone anything esle.

Like I said some people do have a good reason and there's no problem with that. Its just when people who are capable just can't be bothered to put the effort in to write a simple, readable sentence :)

You sound paranoid. I'm sure this thread was not aimed at anyone in particular. If your illness is preventing you from functioning normally then maybe you should get someone to help you. Don't think I am not speaking from experience. I had a haemoplegic migraine at 23 which left me paralysed and speechless for six weeks. Life's a bitch, you just gotta say fook it and make the best of it.

Ahhhh you are being ironic, using poor grammar and punctuation to illustrate your frustrations.

 

That was a very clever use of language. Well done. :mac1:

 

If this is a serious post, the words pot & kettle spring to mind!

 

PMSL!

It doesn't bother me too much if I cann't read something someone has posted I simply ask them to try and explain it again to me as other's have done to me. I don't mind if people ask me nicely if I've not quite got it right, as no one's perfect and this is not an English Exam either. ;) :D

well im gonna carry on posting the way i always have done, and if people dont want to see what i post or the way i type the can go and add me to their ignore list

 

simple as that lol :D

you see this is what i mean,..

 

no im not paranoid and no i bloody well dont need anyone to help me.

 

the whole point about doing things myself is to re teach my brain to do them.

i had a c.v.a stroke new years eve, since then 4 more t.i.a strokes and i have suffered deterioration, since.

 

as for being paranoid, no im not i have to deal with the most rude and unhelpful people every day since its happened, and its made me see just how quick so called friends no longer want to be seen with the " wierd " person now i walk different, talk different and do things differently than i used to.

 

as for making the best of it, im afraid it doesnt work that way, you try telling that to my wife who has to constantly check on me, phones me when im out and monitors my medications for me. i thank god every morning i wake up now and open my eyes. i constanlt get so tired all the time it borders on narcolepsy, my handwriting has to be re-learned, physio, speech therapy,

 

to say im annoyed doesnt get it out, real angry ..oh my.

 

spend a day here with us then re-evaluate things.

Sorry to hear that Bud, and you have a point I thought this site was about z cars.

It's a car site, not a CV.

 

As long as I can tell what people mean, I'm not bothered about spelling / grammer.

Me too ;)

 

I take peeps as they are, I dont care how they speak, write, type, walk etc etc, lifes about getting on, not nit picking.

 

Agree paul (rainbowZTT) this is a car forum - what a useless bloody thread this is - and what a crappy topic anyway. each to their own tho imho.

 

PK1 - im inteliigent enough to understand exactly whay you mean however you type, if i didnt I'd ask you. You just hang in there bud, dont waste your time with crap threads like this. There are some peeps who just like to stir things up a bit on here.

Well said, good on you. Keep fighting mate and don't give up. Who really care's if any one make's a few spelling errors or gets their tense's mix or whatever. As I said this is not an English Exam but some like minded petrol heads having a bit of fun and exchanging advice on a number of issue's, and forming friendships.

someone who corrects another persons spelling even though they can perfectly understand the text and meaning of it (excluding gangster rap shite) is nothing more than a TW*T..........ok :(

spot on bud

lol:D

I'm dyslexic and crap at typing. so when I type some thing thats incorrect I could read it all fay long and not spot it. Infact when I read out loud I add stuff that just isn't their.

 

I could read a passage thet says " He fell into the Dyke and hit his head."

 

I would most likely read. " He slipped and fell into the dyke cutting and brusing his hands and head."

 

It was explain to me that I see the start of the text as a kind of promt and away the brain goes. I do the same when writing if not concentrating or the simplest of word iwill have a complete mind block. However having always been like this I'm used to clever xock ducking basturd smart arzes have a pop at me.
