Swingers Forum - Is literacy and spelling that important to people???

I have got to be the worse speller in the world, ( This is him ) and punctuation I suck at that. I graduated a hundred years ago and I couldn't spell back then, but does that make me a person you don't want to meet??? I read a profile that it seemed to be the most important thing to them.
Education, wealth, don't make the person but I guess it all about the type of people you want to meet?????
I say give us less then fortunate people a chance, We all are pretty good people

(M) LOL, someone once posted a grammar list and said if you don't know how to use the words then don't post. Well F*^# that, if you write it forward, backward or upside down and I understand it works for me. Your comments are no less important than the English teacher sitting over our shoulder. I hope we don't get graded next

Is it important? Sort of. It's ONE indicator of how well we might get along. Having said that, we have friends in this lifestyle from all walks of life and all backgrounds. Some are highly educated and some barely finished high school. For us, though, we tend to love to goof around and make fun of many things, some pretty esoteric, and it's sometimes hard for us to click very well with people who (whether they're educated or not) don't really know much about what's going on in the world around them. Also we were both brought up in pretty strict homes where spelling and especially proper grammar were very much expected. Sometimes when we're around people who use words incorrectly or have poor grammar it's a little like fingernails on a chalkboard to our ears. We used to joke around that we would pretty much just delete emails we got that started out, "We seen [sic] your ad...", but we still use that as a bit of a screening tool. If there isn't something else fairly compelling in a profile we likely won't be a good match. Sorry if that offends anyone.

Thanks UTARD61 Looking forward it too you have our number #

We always give a spelling and grammar test before we invite folks into our hot tub. That's why we are confused when after 2-3 hours of drinking with friends it seems no one can speak clearly.

If someone is serious then steer clear. Nothing worse than kissing their wife and they start to give instructions on how to do it correctly.

Obviously people on this site have other things on their minds than spelling. That being said, and only because it's my job, you had two mistakes in your first comments: don't should be doesn't and then should be than. This correction is for those who doubt educated people are on here. Put it all in perspective, sexy people! I live with a phonetic speller so I guess I'm used to it.

Well I guess that just leaves me right out of the runing for a date with you sexy Lady.lol

Gawd! So paranoid now, just hired a moonlighting English teacher to read my blog posts before I click send.

I bet you who do care about how they write. You must of wrote your sentences extra nice. To sound educated among others. To be better then the rest in some way. I have no problem with grammar. However, sometimes devices spell things completely different then they should. So should we yell at the computer it is not good enough. No, we don't do that to the computer. It is our friend. The reason we come online. So, sometimes people can be like computers. A little backwards....I think a backwoods kind of way. Is one way to have a good time on the farm...or, the hay or, even the lake.

While you educated folks learned to write. They were playing in the mud. I had a formal education and college as well. My hubby like others did not have much help in learning from school. So instead he worked very hard with his hands and his mind in other ways. He is a genius and can read fast now but, writing is not one of his best things. His best things are his hands and other things. Hell ya!!!

If this happens to be the female half of the couple, I believe I may be in love... Alright, just in lust!

Had this discussion recently on another swing site and someone made an interesting observation. First, being uneducated is kind of a cop out. You can quite easily educate yourself about proper grammar simply by reading and/or going on the internet. Poor spelling skills is a non sequitur in this age of ubiquitous spell check available on almost every single communication device used. So that leaves laziness and/or simply not wanting to be bothered with trying to write coherently. The poster presupposed that someone who really didn't care to be bothered with such trivial things as correct grammar and/or spelling might very well be just as haphazard and inattentive as a lover and probably not what that particular person was looking for as far as a swing partner. I thought that was pretty interesting and wondered if others thought she had a cogent point or was simply being elitist.


Oh, and SIRNOOB...it's spelled wright not right. The double yoo is silent. Sheesh!

Can't say that someone's mind isn't being fed just because they suck at spelling or grammar, right? Hubby knows mind blowing information and tools dealing with todays technology and cars. His knowledge helps people and gets him great work because knowledge to action is powerful.

On the other hand he will never get a good date because his punctuation isn't right and his spelling is off so he must be brain dead... After he failed all of my English tests I gave him the "in bed" test, resulting in me marrying him for his penis...

Haha this thread is hilarious!

Thank you for seeing what us ill liter ate guys are damn good at, lets see how fast the liter ates get to a spelling bee without a properly tuned modern engine, curious what they think an oxygen sensor is. Can't breathe without one.

And remember..... I before E except after C.... now that's weird!!!!!
