Could you stop asking?

Why was this thread moved to the adult forum? Makes no sense to me!

It's in The Haven now.

Maybe it's doing an around the board holiday tour?

I was talking about just this person.

I don't mind people being bad spellers. I'm usually pretty good at deciphering what they've said (I did teach English so I got a lot of practice!)
Text speak does annoy me though, because that's a choice, whereas bad spelling isn't. People are choosing to be lazy about their writing, and it makes it hard to read.
I also got very annoyed once when someone started trying to complain about the way I write (I write numbers out as words like four or five) when their writing was so bad you could hardly read it. People in glass houses.... (and I realise this being an Aspie board some people wont get the glass houses bit, but never mind).

True. If there are that many spelling mistakes though, and they are that frequent, it can make you want to disregard what the writer is saying. Or if it's in txt spk. They are two different things, but they make it difficult to read and understand.



See above and I agree.

That said, using a spell-checker with each post shouldn't be too difficult. Safari has one built in, for heaven's sake.

I don't see any textspeak in this particular post of yours, though I haven't read the other one that's being referred to, so I can't really comment.[/quote]

And I wasn't on about the odd typographical error - that's normal. It's when there are many spelling errors in very short posts. Say seven or eight of them in a two line post, with further punctuational errors to match. Or having polls that completely invalidate themselves due to the utterly biased lack of choice. And so on.

This (http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp3587322.html&highlight=#3587322) was possibly the thread that was being referred to above.

Okay im sorry i can not understand what you guys are trying to say only some of it i understand.


(No i am not a lazy speller btw i do not pick to have problems with this and i try very hard)
Spell check is something i can not do they give me words that eather i dont understand can not pick out what one is right or wrong or just can not read. I have a program that i can use for my spelling but its not working at this momment so i can not use it it spells things for me when i talk but sometimes it also makes mastakes but not as bad and not as hard to corrected. other then this part of avreyone saying that i really understand nothing that was just said..... i keep going over it but its like huh?

And i do not know were to post my things like other people might know i find it kind of comfuseing were things like this should go i was thinking random forms but i dont wanna ask anyone to much on one form and drive them nuts! lol.

Could you tell us which bits specifically you don't understand, so we can try and explain better?

Also could I ask how old you are?

Im 17 and not to upset you or anything but i really cant tell you because i just dont understand anything so i cant point what i dont get nothing makes scents to me it happends alot of times.
I exsplaned what i new because it was simple but to exsplane what i dont get is really alot and that part i dont understand i dont get i dont really know how to say what i do not understand if i dont even know what avreything was saying or meaning.

Well I can't help explain if you can't pick out which bits of it don't make sense. If there's a section that you don't understand, just copy and paste.
Are you still at college or did you leave? If you're still there you might want to speak to one of the English teachers and ask them for some tips.

i know thats the problem and no its more avrey little thing half the site said.
and im home schooled still in high school. people had me in classes helping me out never really worked but were still working at it.

Sorry not sure if people dont like me saying that or what. sometimes they dont seem like they do or that could just be me paronied im not sure eather way.

I think if you're not understanding huge parts of the site at seventeen then your parents really need to change how they're teaching you. Either they aren't teaching you properly, or there's something wrong (in which case they should be taking you to get assessed).

They have asked and we keep getting HFA autism when i was 14 to 15 PDD NOS when i was 6 to 7 were going back sometime to try to get a diognoses and im so happy for that!
