75% of the time MASSAGE is spelled wrong?
I always see it as MESSAGE. This has been bugging me for a long time. No wonder providers think the guys who make reviews are idiots. I admit I make my share of typing mistakes - I have a slight dyslectic (sp?) problem. But this is really obvious.

Reoes it ever bug you when you read a review and...

Nah the spelling & typos don't bother me at all.  The only thing of that nature that I find irritating are those that ARE ALL IN CAPS!!  Geez.  But even that is not worth getting too annoyed.

Aside from bogus reviews, there are three things I do find bothersome:  those with only a half-dozen words that really say nothing at all; the ones where the guy seems to be reviewing himself instead of the gal (like I could really give a shit how much of a super-stud he is...I ain't gonna see him no way-no how); & those that are demeaning/vindictive--there certainly are ways of giving an honest appraisal of a less than stellar encounter without resorting to that sort of crap.

Makes me serious consider the reliability of the reviewer.

IOW, if you can't express yourself in simple English, why should I listening to you.  Spelling is one issue, complete lack of ability to be articulate is another which is also common.  If you can't even express yourself adequately, why in the world should I believe anything you have to say about a woman's personality???  She's probably just as inarticulate are, or maybe you just don't care.  Either way, I'll tend to discount the views.

What really gets me is the guys who don't even spell the girl's name correctly, and make it impossible to find the reviews in a search by name.  I mean, why even bother?  I frequently find myself letting the staff know, and pointing them to the correct web page for confirmation of the correct spelling.

MisterG

about the dyslexic, insomniac, agnostic?

He stayed awake at night wondering if there was a dog?

To Bird and friend...

The Dog's Name is Jpeg, and he has a webpage called MisterJpeg, which has been recently put up on yahoo by one of the fine gentlemen on this board. I will have to add a link to this MASSAGE (wink) later.

Another fan of Dog is also putting up a site called SirJpeg.com also soon to open, dang, his will probably be up before my new one will, lol!

hmmm.

So your dyslexic, agnostic, insomiac friend can now take a nap, i hope, knowing that there is a dog.

xoxo

Btw, Bird, Jpeg goes nuts when he sees one of your kind.  He barks and barks and barks.  Moral of story....Dog likes Bird.

Reid you hear ....

My favorite is "....dyslexics of the world untie...."

While we're on the subject of spelling, I'm feeling a little anal tonight (maybe need to eat more ruffage, or is it roughage?), and there's nothing on TV, so here's some more I see all the time on TER.

Their (possesive, of, belonging to etc.)
There (a place, among other uses)
There's (contraction of there is)

ad (what you use to advertise)
add (what your fingers are for, as in 'rithmatic)

are (a form of be)
our (possesive, of, belonging to etc.)  

The worlds best (plural, doesn't exist)
The world's best (possesive, belonging to))

To (TOO many uses to list, get a dictionary and see below)
Too (adverb, in addition, or used like also, among others)

Bare (as in naked)
Bear (as in a big mean hairy animal, or carry, transport, etc.)

Your (possesive)
You're (contraction of you are)

Cum
Come (OK, we all know that one)

Asshole (sphincter)
Asshole (what you'll call me if I don't quit now)

Reyslectic vs. Dyslexic

Well I guess it is while reading the review it always seems like...

"She gave me a below average message" then my brain thinks she was handing him a post-it note that was illegible? Told him that his wife called while he was taking a shower...
its endless...

When I was a kid I always reversed the number 8, I have never got over it.

Reyslectic vs. Dyslexic - skip this dbl post

Then I have the habit of repeating myself-
Sorry

I've heard it and even told it before, but I never tire of it.  Thanks, Bird!

xxxooo,

Anyone who only knows one way to spell a word can't be very smart.

here is the link to his new site

.

It never occurred to me when posting about spelling that someone would think a deliberately and grossly mispelled word wasn't part of the joke.  I guess that's why they say never assume.

But what do I know?
Oh wait thats Dateaman's closing...

ps-G2 good to read your posts again!

A Chaucer fan perhaps, Nicole??  Your post almost reads like Middle English.

I guess it takes someone like me who isn't dislactic to keep you all in line.
