You say so much in so few words, none of which are of any consequence!

(Now I'm trying to be-little, however, why should I bother you do such a good job on your own!).

I do feel hurt that you could feel it to be any form of dig, it wasn't, and you responded so well, in the beginning don't let raver lead you astray, the easy target isn't always the one you want to go for!

Re: Gramactical English

I was the one who said I have difficulty reading some posts when the grammar and punctuation are particularly bad. I admit I am as capable as anyone of making mistakes but I do find some things very difficult to read including textspeak.

Someone mentioned dyslexia and as one of my daughters has that problem I was particularly miffed at the suggestion recently by some expert or other that such a condition does not exist. She herself actually finds it harder to read things which have errors in them, including sometimes things she has written herself but she does persevere and tries to do her best to be as accurate as possible for her own sake as much as anyone's.

I'm not belittling people who have difficulties but surely you don't really say some of the things in th AliG way in which they are typed by some. (for example "we is" rather than "we are") I do find correct punctuation etc much easier to read from a sentence structure point of view and struggle sometimes with some of the posts when I'm not sure of the point the person is trying to make.

There's an example in this thread where I thought somebody meant one thing and then from a subsequent post it becomes apparent that they mean the opposite. I've known arguments to spring up between people when they really didn't actually have opposing points of view but simply misread what was intended to have been written.

I don't type very quickly and sometimes I struggle to see what I'm doing, but I persevere and hope that it comes out right.

I don't think abbreviations such as Accy and Ossy are objected to by anyone as locally they are very well-known and accepted. Some of our overseas members have queried them initially but once they know what we mean they have no problem.

Unfortunately when someone is reading in a language foreign to them spelling mistakes make online translators useless and grammatical errors make it more difficult for them to understand too. I probably do sound too pedantic to some people but I'm just looking at it from other angles and from the point of view of whoever may be reading.

Having said all that I hope now that if anyone types something that I genuinely cannot understand for one reason or another they will forgive me for my failings.
