My Speling and Grammer is atrocious, I fully admit it.
But the standard on this cite is wurse than me.
In this age of spell checkers etc, their is no excuse.
Accuracy, brevity and clarity, and of these three the greatest is clarity.
I know many autistic people who like me pay exceptional attention to language and using correct parts of speech. And many who don't.
Not serious. As it happens, I'm in demand for my thorough proofreading as can see a redundant comma at 400 metres' distance. I thought Robert was making a casual joke too, not at expense of any individual or group.
Quite a relief not to have to use the backspace key for once.
Yes, I'm a grammar pedant. I especially like pointing out that the possessive apostrophe in English - the ' in such phrases as "Harry's toys" points to a missing 'e' that defined the Anglo-Saxon genitive case;. as in, "Se Cyninges sweord" - 'The King's sword'.
I find this thread very interesting. Grammar has always been very important to me, as I like to express thoughts very precisely, and I'm averse to ambiguity where it wasn't intended (although naturally, I enjoy it in literature, for example, where ambiguity serves a purpose).
I can't tell if this spelling is serious or not! Nothing against it, but your bio is very comprehensible but this comment is the complete opposite haha
Thanx RObert made me smyle.
speling and gramer dont matter reely, and obvyusely vieus of anyone whose duslexic are v welvome hear on the nas forums.
(I admitt do use speling in some other palces to scheck how mutch atension people put in.)
Looking back on my 'O'-level English Language paper, which I took when I was still 14 years of age, the essay question choice was hugely anti-autistic. I can still remember some of the choices - "You are organising a party", "A family reunion" and "Looking through an old box in the attic". Not exactly playing to autistic strengths! I did the 'family reunion' one, but set it in a hill fort in Dark Age Britain, involving a dispute as to who got 'the hero's portion' at a feast. I imagine I got very few marks from the philistine allistic markers.
At my first three attempts I thought I did ok in the exams, the stupid ignorant examiners disagreed with me and have me the grade, ungraded.
I failed my English exams at school five times.
I only passed a functional skills exam in English, last year.
Have you read my posts I strugel with the exsact same thing why I failed English at GCSE that and auto correct really annoys me
