Is poor English grammar a turn-off? (Page 3)

[bklynbadboy1]

If she's new to the country the no I can understand she's still learning the language but if you've been here like ten or twelve years that's a major turn off

[fulloflife]

Yes! I hate reading texts that r grammatically incorrect. Makes my brain hurt trying to place pauses in sentences and judging where a sentence begins and ends.

[Jamie05rhs]

Regarding the update: you didn't say we were talking about immigrants. That's different.

[VeggieCalzone]

Nooo Russians accents are sexy but if some hoodrat who lives near me talked with bad grammar then yea a complete turn off

[Thatsamazing]

Yes, unless she's not a native English speaker. If she IS a native English speaker and has terrible grammar, then yes it is a turn off.

[Smegskull]

Yes. Note, a strong accent is not the same as poor grammar. In fact most people who learn English as a second language have better grammar because they learn it formally.

[Evil_Chuck]

If it's a native English speaker, then yes. Poor grammar is an INSTANT turn-off.
If she's a hot foreign girl, I will be a good Samaritan and offer her ESL lessons. Private ESL lessons.

[Anpu23]

In a native speaker absolutely, in someone who English is a second language not a big deal.

[Anonymous]

It really is, especially if it's a native speaker.
Maybe not as much as if it's a second language though, with a few exceptions.

[Guardian45]

If someone's first language is not English, I am forgiving. But if you're native language is English, than you better not screw it upop!

[CoffeeWC]

Yeah it's a turn off. Communication is important, so if bad grammar gets in the way of that, it's a problem.

[Anonymous]

If you don’t know the difference between ‘you’re’ and ‘your’, it’s a goodbye from me.

[InTimoreDei]

Same here. I can't stand seeing those mistakes made. "There, their, they're" as well.

[dontgofalling]

You kidding? Hell no.
I don't know what kind of weirdos are turned off by a bad grammar...
A young blond hot, intelligent, nice and Russian woman with a bad grammar would probably kill em' then...

[letssee89]

Huge turn off if English is her native tongue. Otherwise, I'm not overly concerned

[call_me_scar]

As long as I can understand what's being said I don't care

[chriscdi]

not really, she's another human with feelings, if im interested then she would get a chance

[ColHathi]

Depends on how much and whether it's on purpose or not. I usually don't mind.

[whitehide]

You could communicate in grunts and growls. I don't care; as long as I understand.

[Twenty2]

If it's not her first language and she isn't taught that from the beginning then yeah! It's acceptable.

[WH15K3Y]

Honestly, I would rather learn more about a person then disregarding her cause she can't speak *fluently*
