ORIGINAL: StefanandLucinda Hello Athena. Love your mask! I personally cannot relate to how perfect grammer is a required skill a slave must have and equates to an automatic no reply. Apparently, it is to some. I guess everyone has their quirks. Lucinda I think it's more that people want to feel that the person writing to them has made an effort and taken some time, rather than trying to get out messages as quickly as possible. It just makes a good first impression. Obviously it's not essential to everyone, but equally I've never met anyone who was turned off by good spelling and grammar either, so it's one of those small things you can do which might slightly increase your chances and certainly wont hurt. If the OP is struggling to make headway, he might be open to trying things which might help. Personally I'd be put off by a potential partner who took the attitude of 'it's just typing, why do you care?'. It'd be a bit like going on a date with someone who turned up in their work clothes and said 'they're only clothes, nothing to do with being a good partner'. It's true, but making an effort to make a good impression shows you care about what the other person might think. Also, and perhaps this makes me a snob, I don't find it hard to use capital letters and full stops. I'm not perfect, but it takes little conscious effort to use reasonably good grammar. If someone defaults to using text speak or very poor spelling or grammar, that says it's too much effort for them to write properly, either because they are exceptionally lazy, or because they find it exceptionally hard. Someone who is at a very different intellectual or educational level than me might not be a good match. (Yes, I know, learning difficulties can mask this and I'm speaking only in very general terms)
