I put a post in here last night and i said that i wouldent post here anymore do to the criticism the i have recived latley for my bad spelling and gramer.Now it is not that i dont want to post but i am just afraid anymore to put myself in that position infact call it an inferiority comrlex .

I have had trouble with spelling and gramer all my life and yes the dyslexia sure dosent help much eather.But i am very upset at some people who criticize others for any reason and i feel if any post should be baned here it should be this kind of post for thair is NO value in this kind of criticism in the archives.

For the newcomer here we are here to help and support each other here and if the spelling and gramer are not as it should be just rember that every one here didnt have a chance to go to collage and some maby had a hard time just getting through high school.

Rember the archives are not a place to bitch about others falts

Sag, Your spelling is just fine. I have no trouble reading your posts. And I'm sure no one else does.

People have no place here in the Archives, if they're here to put others down. I'm sure there must be plenty of scholarly forums out there where they can mingle with all those highly educated people with perfect grammer and spelling.

Sag,Don't you listen to that dumb criticism,

We love you Sag, and if you stopped posting it would be a terrible loss.

Hey My Sweet Sag,

I didn't get a chance to read what you are talking about yet but, I wouldn't let it bother me. I do know that it hurts at times though. Because it hurts me when someone does that to me or anyone I know. One thing about you that I've learned is, that you are one of the most caring and concerned persons here, and we woulden't want you to leave us at all. You are just the best person I know, and I can't wait for the day to meet you in person. And I know that quite a few people feel the same way. So, as this has happened to you before, just let it float right over your head. Because I know you are that kind of person. My sweet sag, Don't give us up my friend, for we love you alot.

your sweet, Lilac

Sag,

You are a valued member of this community. Your compassion for others shines through everything you post. Please don't take seriously any comments about your spelling or grammar. You are actually doing very well for someone with dyslexia and you should be congratulated for it. I've worked with dyslexics and I'm impressed by what you write.

We need you.

Jesus

SAG111,

Surely you do not think for one minute that I would say anything that would hurt you intentionally.

I may have made a comment about doing the best that we can somewhere, but the gist of the thought is that we should not criticize people because that is what they do. They do their best.

All while keeping in mind that sometimes what we read in a post, is not what was meant at all.

With that being said, I am positive that you do not really mean that you are leaving. Please tell me that I am misunderstanding that you are leaving because of some comment that I perhaps have made ... if you are I am so sad and sooo very, very sorry...

Sag111,

I know just what your talking about and feeling, spelling and grammer have always been my worst subject. I too have dyslexia and I move letters all around. I dont have a college degree I am just a working guy just like you.

No body should ever be put down in here for grammer and spelling, It thats why you read the posts is to correct them and the people that wrote them, then go away, this is not the place for you.

Sag111, looking forward to seeing you in the chat room.

Personally, spelling mistakes and incredibly poor grammar drive me batty. But I also understand that there are many people coming here that have had learning issues (IE Dyslexia) or are non-native speakers of English. So I cut people slack... Now if this was an academic forum I might be able to see where some people could get on a high horse about it all.

In the end I find that people who criticize grammar, etc. are usually covering up for some other issue in their lives anyhow. Those who do so in a casual, public forum such as this will tend to miss out on meeting or befriending some great people.

So Sag, please stick around and consider the source of the criticism. I think you'll find that most of it comes from people you wouldn't consider your friend anyhow.

Take care,

Sag,

You are definately a valued member. Spelling and grammar are important ... but certainly don't in any way 'out rank' the thoughts and ideas behind the post.

Don't go anywhere

[Paolo]

Yeah, listen to Riverwind.

He can't spell wortha shit either.



And we still love him. And you too.

[Dave (imported)]

Your spelling and grammar never bothered me. I respect your opinion and that is what matters. Please continue posting and don't worry about the rest of it.

I rarely do a post that is totally correct. I always read them and edit them afterwards. Sometimes, I just leave all the mistakes.

So don't stop, just type on.

[An Onymus (imported)]

Sag, Ive read dozens of your posts, and never had any trouble figuring out what you were saying in any of them. It's necessary to have grammatical rules and standards for a variety of reasons, but it's silly to enforce them strictly on everybody all the time. For short messages in a forum like this, the standard should simply be whether what is said is comprehensible or not.

And your posts often show more good sense and good will than posts by individuals whose spelling and grammar don't have any errors. Your posts are worth reading and your attitude is refreshing, so I hope you continue to participate in the archive.

Hi Sag, You know some people "live life in the fast lane always". They expect everything to be perfect and perfectly organised. Sadly they give little thought or time or consideration to someone who "is at their level"!

(Sad, arrogant people!) A major aspect of the Eunuch Archive is that alot of us are very very pre-disposed to taking time and to reading with care the thoughts and values of someone who has difficulties to overcome before they even type. As everyone here has said Sag, it is the content and the quality of your postings that we all appreciate. Anyone who can't take a minute or two to reflect on them must be rather sad. I didn't see the original criticism

but I have read A-1's comment above and he and we all say, keep reading, keep thinking and keep posting my friend.

As for us "life out of the fast lane" is far more better!!!

[richard31uk (imported)]

Sag dont give up posting as others have said y

ou are a valued member of this community.

To Anyone that has critisised anyone about there spelling and grammar then they should take a look at how many poeple actually have to use dictionaries and spell checks in big business, I am one of them i also work in the caring field with people who havbe learning disabilities and alot of them cannot even read but they still have other strengths, so some of us are not good with spelling and grammar if you have a problem with that keep it to your self we are a small community as it is so do not take it out on each other. what we should be looking at instead of the not so strong points about people is look at what they can offer the community and friends.

Sag,

Please don't think for a moment that no one wants you here. You are a part of this great group of people and would surely be missed if you left us.

Thanks for the encuragment that so many gave me when i was upset and i do apologize that i let it bother me so much.

But i do want to say this especially to the new commer we need to respect each other here .We are all diffrent and have many diffrent talents and befor we react to a post we need to think about how the other person me feel about what was said.

I think what made me angry was this lack of respect and i feel that the quality of the archives will always be in the understanding and consideration we give others here.

Rember we are here to give support and guidance to thoes seeking answers to a problem that they have and this is the only place that they will probley find thies answers and friendship that goes with it.

I will not stop my postings because i know thair are others here that are new and need someone to answer a question and i feel it would be wrong if i didnt help in anyway i can.

So thanks again and i do apologise for getting upset

Dear SAG,

it would be a shame if you quit posting here. In the short time since I have joined this comunity I have read many of your post and find them to be very informitive and valuable. The world is filled with people who spell better than you or I but haven't much to say.

Please please keep posting.

Hi Dear,

You guys should feel lucky that you're not writting in german.

The germans have had two spelling reformations (Rechtschreib(-?)Reformation) the last four years.

It's even driving me crazy.

Is it "Scheisse" or "Scheiße"?

(Ich muß(muss) mal scheiß(ss)en.)

Do you write "Leidtun" together or appart, capital or small?

Sauerstoff(f)lasche with two or three f's, together or appart????

Mit freundlichen Grüss(ß)en,

Eure Antonia

Dearest Sag

I am so very happy you didn't hold your word this time.

This lovely place wouldn't be what it is without you together with all the other nice persons here!

Hope to get more stuff from you on these pages!

And that within soon!

Hugs

Ylva

PS

I will tell you a secrete: Spelling was my worst subject at school.

Your posts are among my favorites. You are a wise and kind man. Thank for enriching my life.

[talula]

I am sorry I haven't replied earlier sag111. Been somewhat hectic.

It would be very bad if you left and I'm very very happy you decided to stay. I also enjoy your posts and would miss them otherwise.

So your dyslexic and have difficulty spelling? So what! What you have to say is far more important than correct spelling and I also have never had a problem understanding your posts.

I take advise from a quote the Riverwind uses, originally by Theodore Seuss Geisel "those that matter don't care, those that care don't matter".

Hallo Antonia,

aber aber, eine Lady muss zwar auch mal auf die Toilette, aber eine Lady nimmt doch nicht solche Worte in den Mund. Wenn Du eine Lady sein möchtest, dann benimm Dich auch wie eine Lady. Das bist Du Deiner Anmut und Deinen vielen Verehrern schließlich schuldig. Einmal noch sei Dir verziehen, dann aber gibt es negative Karma Punkte.

Viel besser finde ich bezüglich der deutschen Rechtschreibung folgenden Vergleich:

Er trank in Maßen - jetzt aber - er trank in Massen.

Lasse es Dir gut gehen Du schönes Weib. Und halte Deinen süßen Mund sauber, sonst musst Du Seife essen! LOL

[Riverwind (imported)]

Yeah, listen to Riverwind.

He can't spell wortha shit either.



And we still love him. And you too.

Thanks my friend
