Blunders?

Asked by shunyata (77points) January 19th, 2011

I do make typo and spelling mistakes. Is that a bad/punishable blunder on this website ?

Yes, you will be crucified on a fiery cross. In all seriousness, fluther appreciates correct spelling and grammar but if English isn’t your second language, they usually let it go.

@shunyata This is a pretty forgiving bunch here. We all do it from time to time and it’s no problem.

Most of us are pretty forgiving.

Nobody’s perfect. But everyone should be careful. ;-)

Care entails some mistakes. But if someone is constantly just hammering down on the keyboard, they’re probably not thinking about their answers.

That’s just rude. ;-)

Welcome to Fluther. Most of us, apparently not @mowens are easy going and forgiving.

It is punishable by modding.

I can pretty much guarantee that you will be fine. TXT speak is frowned upon.

While we do have writing standards, we don’t mind the occasional typo. We’re also fairly understanding of those who aren’t native English speakers.

Basically, we ask for your best efforts at proper spelling, punctuation and capitalization. We also don’t allow txtspk.

Can we quit being diplomatic and just agree that we hate hate hate txtspk?

And could the standards be rewritten to reflect that “hate hate hate”? ;-)

Haha… we just mod it out of existence! <cracks whip>
