Spelling and Grammar.... *throws a hissy fit*

[deletetacount123]

Blah

So I met someone on Craiglist and after a few emails while KNOWING Im deaf.
Decided to say she doesn't like people who have bad spelling and grammar.

Well, when your deaf, yes you ARE gonna make pently of spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes. Yes I know Im good and my typing is better than most deaf people's but I still have my share of grammar and spelling errors.

Now I have no idea what to say to her... just ignore her and move on? Remind her that deaf people aren't gonna get spelling and grammar correct the way people like her expect it to be correct?

Oh well.... it is nice to know what kind of people some people are early on :)

If she already knows you are deaf and makes a big deal about spelling/grammer,such a small thing, she's not worth your time or energy. There are more important things.

lol

[lilbitsva]

If that was me i wouldn't deal with her no more. i wouldn't waste my time on someone like that. Because the way that i look at it people will make mistakes. We are all humans. And everyone once in a while will make mistakes. i don't know what is up with people like that. I just wouldn't say nothing else to her. I think that you should like a wonderful person and you don't need something like that in your life. You can meet someone else that will treat you a hell of alot better lil bit

[Long Duck Dong]

mmmmm flex, best yo get ova heer and kiss ma hiney beeter ...

hay naw I siad kiss, knot kick........get them thier steel caped boots off, ya heer ??

[woolleycouple]

Well I must say we all went to the same skool were wee were edumacated. Anyone that make a descession*my spelling sucks* based on grammar and spelling is a joke. Hearts will be hearts though it is really too bad that there are some who are not willing to look beyond our stupid faults and see the really gold that lies within. I have always had some trouble with my spelling I lost my hearing at a young age they were able to correct it with tubes and surgery i still have trouble with sounding out stuff.
*grabs her fangs off shelf to see how much dust is there*??? hmm I miss these thangs :rolleyes:

[flexuality]

LOL!!

More vamps who can't spele among us! :tong:

And for second I was diagnosed with Dislexia at a early age and my spelling nor my grammer has gotten better and i went to a special school. So i would dump miss thang and stick with us babe we love you even if you are "special".:tongue:

Just remeber Tasha you are special to us.

Oh! I almost forgot! *gives Tashie back her calmed hissy and pets Tashie*

I have this mental picture of a tribble.......for non Trekies, a tribble is basically a fluffy ball that purrs and reproduces prolificly!! :tongue:

Do I get extra points if I speeled prolificly right?? :tong: Is it a word? LOL!!

Oh, and after 10 months here, people should *know* I'm a bit unusual by now ;)

Oh well.... it is nice to know what kind of people some people are early on :)

Tasha

As a relay operator for the deaf, I've seen the typing of allot of deaf and HOH people as well as allot of normal level hearing people. Everyone's spelling and grammar can be picked apart. Early onset deaf people do tend to use a very different grammatical structure but most of the time it's still fairly easy to see what they are saying, however your typing in here doesn't reflect ASL grammar. If someone is that hung up on spelling and grammar, just let it go :) it could be that they are saying it in a nice way (constructive criticism) to try to help you out (I have a friend that does this to me and I have learned that he is actually trying to help me, not hurt me) or they could just be a jerk copping out on you.
Let it go, and perhaps let that person go as well if they seem to be saying it to hurt your feelings or justify breaking off the email relationship.

Good Luck :D

[lilbitsva]

Tasha you are so welcome lil bit

[Vuarra]

K... I'll take the Devil's Advocate position here, Tasha

I admit that I don't like people who use 1337 speak or extremely shortened words or phrases (al u ppl no wat I meen?). IM is one thing, especially on a true keyboard, as I may need to get my point across quickly, but on a forum like this, I expect reasonable attempts at grammar and spelling.

If I were looking for a mate, I *would* pay attention to signs like how the person communicates - in the example above, 1337 speak may show that the person cares more about what s/he looks like than what is going on inside the head. Shortened words or phrases means to me that they are in too much of a hurry to care how their opinions get to the other person.

Now, Tasha, from what I have read of your posts, I don't see any negative signs in your writing style (but I have a pecker, so that counts me out :) ). I'd say what a whole bunch of other people are saying, that she's just a snob, and you wouldn't want to be around her much.

My :2cents: , add them up and buy a coffee :)

[anne27]

Oh, pleaseee! If someone is that picky, if you pleased them by grammer/spell checking every little thing you sent them, then they'd find something else 'wrong' to complain about!

Some people just aren't happy 'less they're complaining! :rolleyes:

Glad ya moved on and decided to go hunt for someone who deserved you! :bigrin:

The last line... can I buy tea instead?? I perfer tea more than coffee :) lol
Ya, I agree with the short words they are in too much of a hurry I re-read the girls email again and ya, she doesn't sound like a person I'll want to be around with in real life. Sounds abusive if your not a "correct" person lol

I like nice people like you and lilbits and my other friends on here :)

I was raised by a grammar/spelling nazi. My father made sure that I grew up knowing what is correct and what isn't. So when I see poor grammar or spelling that people didn't bother to check or fix, I wince. For me, it's akin to nails on a chalk board.

HOWEVER, said grammar/spelling nazi ALSO raised me to be mannerly and not point the mistakes out!! When she pointed out the mistakes Tash, she overstepped the bounds of good manners. If someone is going to judge you on your spelling or grammar without ever meeting you, it's really her loss.

[flexuality]

Ya, I try my best to make sure spelling and grammar is ok. If I REALLY don't know the spelling and spellchecker isn't helping then I add the (sp) or (sp?) next to the word as to say I tried but couldn't get the right spelling and sometimes it seems to be a "ok" for someone to correct me when I do that since in a way, it is asking "correct me please!!" hehe

Sometimes I do cut and past a word from someone elses post if I wanted to use it to but can't spell it lol (Course if Im quoting someone I use the quote button to reply to that person.)

Yep :) the way I look at my posts, sure theres a typo somewhere but then EVERYONE has at last 1 typo in thier posts so no one can be perfect.
I have decided if someone doesn't like how I type then too bad. I know I type good and all my friends never had a problem with it :)

Oh well... its nice to know how some people really are before things go futher right? :)

Sorry to thread jack sweetie. I promise I'll make it brief. I just had to ask what kind of bug you have. We used to have a 1968 Beetle then Ken traded it in for a yellow diesel 2002 Beetle. So of course the subject piques my curiosity.

The first car I ever owned was a 1967 Beetle. One of the ones with the skinny tail. Red. :rolleyes:

And this isn't threadjacking lol! In some thread, somewhere I asked what threadjacking was...and was told it was when someone starts jumping on "how" someone else is expressing themselves basically, and changes the whole thing into "you can't say that", "no you can't say that either" kinda thing and the original topic gets lost and it turns into a battle of thread etiquette or something....LOL!
