If you're not speaking your native language, I find grammar errors cute, entertaining, and endearing as long as the speaker can endure a little teasing.
As long as i could understand them, i'd overlook it. They may have a learning disability , or they might not have had the privilege of a good education... for whatever reason
Only of your native language is English, then yes. Same for all others... one should know their mother language well! Spoken and written.
For example, Ariana grande types like an idiot. Rn tho u etc.
Hmm, not in every country of course, but I consider it a turn off with Dutch people (especially my age)... I don't know I just feel like you should at least know the basic English grammar😅
I've been around foreigners my whole life, and I know how difficult it is for them to speak a language that is not their own, but if English is your native language, and you can't string a sentence together, it is a definite turn-off!
No I dont think it is at all
Especially if they aren't a native speaker
Who cares about grammar if the essence of what they are saying is good, profound, or of value
Depends on if its your native language or not. For me, English is the third language I learned therefore I'm far from being perfect here.
If you don’t speak English fluently, I let it slide but if you are a native speaker, too many errors gets annoying.
Big turn off. A few strictly grammatical errors here and there I could live with, but if they have a thick accent as well as grammatical errors it's a deal breaker.
As a native English speaker from the UK, if it’s a foreigner whose first language is not English I will make allowances, but if the person is from somewhere where English is native e. g. UK, NZ, Aus, USA it can bug the hell out of me.
English isn't everyone's first language. If it is then I'd be a bit put off but it won't be a turn off.
And even still, what matters is what kind of a person she is. Plus I could teach her better English.
I think it can be quite cute for the opposite sex to be trying...
To your update, it is a turn off but mainly for those that English is their native language. I don't expect someone whose native tongue isn't English to have amazing grammar.
No it is not.
It is ok to have poor English grammar everyone once in a while can have that
I'm not European, nor American.
I'm south Asian.
so Poor English isn't a turn off for me. cos my English is also not so good.
Only if its their native language. And even then, it has to be really obvious.
unless they had a good excuse, it's a huge turnoff.
Nope, i don't mind girls with poor grammar or poor English
i would still like them. It's not turn off trust me :-D :-P :-)
Doesn't matter as long as I can understand what they are saying. Not all people are born to speak English and people need to respect that instead of trashing others for their bad grammar. 🤦🏻♀️
If its your native language then you should be able to speak it.
If its not, then its understandable.
