"Besides it has bin about 2 months since my last outing and I was chomping at the bit to get me some.
Any way my session with Aurora was all that I had hoped it would be and thin some.
She is even prettier in person than her picks.
When she upend the door and I walked in she was standing in front of me wearing stiletto heels, Black lace panties and the prettiest smile I have seen in a long time."

I am by no means perfect at spelling and sometimes break some rules of grammar but this is ridiculus.  The above is just a sample of a review and the rest of it wasn't any better.

Are the schools no longer teaching people how to spell or is it even worse?  Do people don't care and are just lazy when it comes to writing?  Some of the the reviews are almost impossible to read because of bad spelling and grammar.  Basic stuff we learned in elementary school.  I'm not even an English teacher.  I thought the gentlemen who could afford this hobby would at least have a high school education and learned how to write somewhere along the line.  

How hard is it to pick up a dictionary? While you're at it, maybe learn how to use a comma.

i think it's fascinating that so many of us believe that whatever level of spelling and writing proficiency WE have achieved is the exact right and proper level to be at; anyone more advanced than us is a pompous ass, anyone less advanced is an illiterate slob.

for instance, when you say the reviewer was "ridiculus", what am i to think - a) you didn't have a dictionary handy, b) you didn't bother to proofread for typos, or c) you consider 'ridiculus' to be an "acceptable" misspelling?

as for your occasional breaking of rules of grammar, the truth is you have done so in virtually every sentence you have written:

"DO people DON'T care..." are you kidding?

"Basic stuff we learned..." apparently we did not learn about complete sentences.

there is more, but i don't want to stray from my point. these postings complaining about spelling and grammar crop up frequently and i've never read a single one that was not riddled with errors. the excerpt that you posted is obviously filled with errors and presented in sloppy fashion - so what? take it for what it's worth and move on. do you need to judge the author based on a couple of paragraphs? if so, how shall you be judged?

It projects laziness, not a lack of education. Occasional typos and spelling mistakes are okay, but some reviews show a disregard to its readers.

I certainly prefer things that are easy to read.  It seems to me, however, that for people who have difficulty writing it is much more of a challenge to put together a review or a post.  At least part of the time I am grateful they went to the trouble.  Using a dictionary would be nice but it is a lot of work if you have to look up a lot of words (like in the example).  For someone who has a hard time writing, dictionary skills aren't easy either.
 Finally, I am not sure what the correlation is between ability to write well and the ability to evoke a great experience with a lady.

1. What you don't use you lose.  
(A great many reviewers here have been paying secretaries for years to compose their letters)

2. With many reviewers; English is a second language

3. High school drop outs that in maturity have lucked upon financial success despite their lack of academia.

4. Shamelessly lazy

5. Poor typing skills and/or unaware of spell/grammar check.(can we say Cyberphobes or Techno-Luddites)

There is however; NO EXCUSE FOR TYPING THE ENTIRE REVIEW OR A POST IN LARGE CASE!!!!!
