All it means is that they don't haven't downloaded the free software offered at this site: http://www.iespell.com/ =================== and too--------SOME of us..........maybe not many---------but some of us figure the king can take the book he told webster to write and stick it up where the sun quit shining. some of us loathe the idea of brits telling us americans how to do things. some of us like our own definitions and spelling........whether anyone else does or not. "the south shall rise again!" damn blue belly yanks anyway------- woofie

I have taken more than one young woman or young man in hand and dressed them for a job interview. First we had to go shopping! Dusty =========================== trying to be nice here------- some of us--have only owned t shirts and jeans all of our life and do not buy any shirts with collars. some of us downright refuse to change. if i have-to do someone's dirty grunt work..i am showing up for the interview exactly like i would be at work. why bother? what ya see is what ya get. but it's just MY way. the wolf And that is fine, Wolfie, as long as you are dressing approriately for the particular job. I don't expect My landscaper to show up at My door in a suit and tie, (although it is nice and makes a better impression if he is clean and neat when he is trying to get My business. But I also don't expect My bank teller,as an example, to be wearing dirty jeans and a ripped t-shirt. It is the lack of understanding the difference. If you want to work in an office, you need to dress the part. If you are content to work at the local fast food joint, and even they have minimum dress codes, then you can have the freedom to dress more comfortably. But don't complain when you aren't making as much money, or try to say it is not fair for some reason. Individuals only limit themselves, when they insist that they should be able to present themselves, spelling-wise, grammar-wise, and physical appearance-wise (meaning attire).

I think someone mentionned this one already, but people keep making the mistake so... "then" is an adverb (and sometimes an adjective), "than" is a conjunction (or a preposition).

Tempestspet -> RE: Poor Grammer and Spelling means what? (11/1/2005 4:14:29 PM)
I don't have any real hangups about spelling or puncuation, until it's hard to read and understand.... then I simply pass it by, and don't worry about it in the least. I have better things to do than fight to understand it. And it's not like whatever was in the "very hard, or impossible to read" post is going to have a profound effect on my life anyways...so why let it bug me? I think that profiles should absolutely be a reflection of each person, and what and who they are looking for. If a person is not concerned about spelling and puncuation, they aren't going to spend a lot of time worrying about it. Nor are they likely to be very worried about finding a mate who has a ton of hangups about spelling and puncuation. Now someone who is absolutely neurotic about spelling and puncuation isn't ,by the opposite of my previous example, going to be looking for a mate that doesn't share their views about spelling and puncuation. What I find funny is that I have scene a bunch of threads about this same topic talked to death about something and someone they don't seek. If you go to read a profile and find as bunch of errors that just absolutely hit every pet peeev you have... why not close it, shrug your shoulders, and move on to the next one? Why do you care, since this person isn't your type anyways, and make a big deal out of it? I don't think the puncuation, spelling and all the rest says anything more or less about a person, than it says about the person that feels compelled to continually make a big deal out of it. Draw attention, and complain about it. Other than perhaps a self esteem problem. Here's the disclaimer: Any mention of "you" or any personal sounding term.... is purely coincidence. Everything written here is said and intended in generic form. If you"you" feel compelled to take any of this personally.... you may just want to reflect on that for a minute, and wonder why that might be. Tempest's pet jennifer

I agree totally with most of the replies here. Your profile is the very first thing a person knows about you on this site. It reflects the kind of person you are, whether that's competent or lazy, interesting or childish. It doesn't take much to do it right. Now, ..... how do we convince the rest of the people here?

Lol.... actually I had zero problem reading your post subversiveone. I think superiority, and that it's fun to comiserate with others about a common pet peeve, and just feel as a group... "better" than others is probably closer to hitting home. If this isn't the case, (like anyone will admit it if it was...) then I'm wrong, and I also have zero problem saying that I'm wrong.

My personal pet peeve is "i am an intelligant dominate". Certain typos are inevitable but sheesh!

Well, my favorite peeve is: you have found the One you have been searching for, littleone. (Written in a 1st, unsolicited email.) What hubrus; and just plan wrong. candystripper

trueshadow -> RE: Poor Grammer and Spelling means what? (11/3/2005 3:42:26 PM)
Interesting this thread has gotten more posts than most other subjects. I, too, find misspellings and poor grammar to be turn-offs, especially in a profile and journal entries. As others have said, these are your 'public face' in many ways. Generally, poor writing skills indicate poor thinking. And poor spelling is so easily rectified; there is really no excuse for that to happen. Another thing-it's a good idea to re-read what you are going to send before you send it anyway. That permits revisions and proofreading. However, I am perhaps the exception, not the rule. I do strive to be the best slave possible to my Mistress, so perfection is the goal, not that it is often obtained.

addcted2it -> RE: Poor Grammer and Spelling means what? (11/7/2005 7:03:03 AM)
In my opinion, a well-thought=out post will get you more responses than one that is posted hastely and without regard to spelling, puncuation and grammar. And while it is normal to make a few spelling errors, it really depends upon person reading your profile or post in terms of what they value and what they are seeking. Paraphrasing what some have said here, I think it is important to put one's best foot forward. It is worth the effort to polish your presentation as though it was a resume submitted to a prospective employer. At least go back to your profile and reread it from time to time. I'll bet you will find some errors there. Good luck! - Philip

Luckily for me, I am pretty abstemious...it is the other problem that gets me...
