Would it bother you if the person you're flirting with makes spelling mistakes when texting?

Question

Or don't you mind it?

I am usually very fussy about spelling and grammar. I do make the odd typo, so I accept other people make typos as well. I have recently had severe sight issues, so found it impossible to stay on GAG. It cost me my Supermod status. Since my op before Christmas, my right eye is much improved.

The thing that does annoy me is bad grammar. People who say, "Could of" instead of "Could have". No understanding the short form "Could've" is so basic and easy to understand.

Please forgive any typos!

When can I get Mod status back? 😉

How often is it? Or they dyslexic or just lazy? With phones nowadays it is a little hard to trip the auto-correct if it isn’t turned off, if it’s frequent errors then they turned it off. With that being said it would bother me. If they don’t at least care about their misspellings, what else are they lazy about? No thank you, next!

I wouldn't be with anyone that thinks texting is a legit form of communication.

Not really ,, I might get a little irritated if I couldn’t understand what they were saying, but if I can understand , it’s not a big deal , honestly I prefer to talk on the phone over texting , mainly because texting sometimes is hard to really understand what someone is saying , and sometimes we take it the wrong way by reading texts compared to actually speaking to the person on the phone

Yes, it would bother me because I judge someone's intelligence by their vocabulary, how they write, and other verbal skills, and I do better with high IQ partners.

Avicenna · Answer

Of course not- I'm glad she's flirting with me.

MiddleAgedClimbee · Answer

I'm not sure that I would hold that against them. I make typos frequently and try and go back to edit them or note my mistake if possible. I would prefer to speak to and see this person I'm flirting with face-to-face, which will give me a much better indicator if we are compatible.

RandomUser1000 · Answer

I usually don't care to much about that.

I mostly react when there are errors that are significant enough to change the meaning.

Like I may understand what someone is trying to say, but if there are errors that, at least if you take the text literally, changes the meaning of it.

Then I'm more prone to react to it.

I don't know if I will flirt online , someone can screenshot it and be a troll so I won't take that chance but no it would not bother me if a lady makes spelling errors. We are all human beings and autocorrect isn't perfect. If she doesn't speak English or is new to English I'll teach her and not be mad at her.

electromagnetic · Answer

NathanDavis · Answer

some typos have been priceless... lmao

Tim2nice · Answer

It depends what I want from her. If I’m after just sex then no. If I’m looking for something serious then no because her inability to spell tells me she’s not intelligent enough.

TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff · Answer

It's casual. Typos are a thing when you're tired or distracted. Like on this website. People who rage need to get a grip.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

I mind actual typos far less than when everything is abbreviated. Autocorrect/speech to text sometimes makes some odd/humorous typos

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Texting no. All hell breaks loose with grammar when texting ha. Unless it wasn't grammar and they really didn't know how to spell at all. That might be distracting lol

Cutegirl06 · Answer

Nope! I'd just figure that they probably were in a hurry and didn't check if it was misspelled.

JamesRandiDebates · Answer

As someone who uses voice-to-text, I see the mistakes it makes. I just assume the person I'm texting with is using it as well. In any event, I'm texting to get some pussy, not audition a spelling bee contestant.

exitseven · Answer

no, I cannot type worth a damn so I make plenty of mistakes too.

Paul09 · Answer

Spelling mistake typos? If it's constantly spelling , that would be weird. We have auto correct lol. I sometimes forget how to spell a word. I'd go a little crazy if she did it a lot.

Anonymous · Answer

It depends how bad they are. I'm not a grammar Nazi. But if she types in text speak. Or if her spelling is so bad it like painful to read then nah, she can just go away.😆

msc545 · Answer

I am fairly lenient when it comes to texting or posting on sites like this, which lack an edit function.

systemsareyo · Answer

It would probably get on my nerves eventually. Eventually 🫠🫠🫠

Pohjolan · Answer

Depends on how well versed they are in the language. Like would care less about it if it was a Taiwanese communicating in English.

Charliefretz329 · Answer

As long as it’s unintentional and not constant, I chalk it up to autocorrect lol
