What does it mean to you?
Are you offended by bad grammar?
Feel free to post any other questions for topic sake...
My literacy skills are very poor. I still to this day don't know where to put commas a fullstops in my sentences or structure them properly which gets me in trouble with the grammar police.
I recently found out that the way we write is completely different to the way we talk, which is kind of the way I write. I noticed that what I read in forums or on paper is completely different to what I hear.
Personally I think humans have communicated well throughout the ages without grammar and I dont see what the fuss is about or why people get shitty about bad grammar it makes me want to learn it even less out of spite.

Another question - Is having a go at someone who has bad grammar on paper like having a go at someone who does not speak english well?...
because I think people who spell things differently or write things in different ways kind of gives them personality

Poor grammar only frustrates me when the person knows better. Otherwise, my disappointment is directed at those who were responsible for teaching the individual.
The worst are the people who refuse to accept when they have made a mistake. Everyone makes them. Wouldn't you rather be made aware so that you don't continue to go around misinformed? I suppose pride is to blame.
Although I still really like this Capricorn guy, I have this gut feeling that he doesn't feel the same at the moment. I want to move on and stop dwelling on this guy because it hurts and I've already done what I could.
Any tips, suggestions or stories on moving on from a Capricorn guy (or guys in general)?

I hear you precisely rhymmiclioness! I'm also a Leo and find that I am totally okay with being the submissive partner here because I know its the only way it will work and you know us Leo women... Whatever it takes.
Our circumstances may differ slightly as my Cap is a bush man - we're in South Africa. He's big on the Rhino conservation scene and, through his (not surprisingly) successful run of the mill business, he funds his own private venture. He regularly falls off the grid for days on end where he and his team track poachers so there is absolutely no contact what-so-ever. However, even when he's in the real world he travels extensively so again, no contact. But! There is something that keeps me tied to him. I think I secretly like being beaten (pun) into submission but he is just so worth it.
We were friends for a year and have now been lovers for eight months and it's been mind blowing albeit few and far between. But I would rather feel this way about someone who I see several times a month than someone I see every day as I get bored with the "Yes ma'am, No ma'am" types very quickly.
Hmmmmm - so where does that leave us? Leo's, in love with Caps, who stifle their birthright AND Independence for a man who has a problem with both showing and verbalising how he feels for us.
I would say we rock in the name of love sister! Respect :-)

I hesitate to date a man whose native language is English but has very poor grammar. He may very well be an intelligent man with valuable skills sets. But, to me that says you don't value education or you didn't pay close enough attention in school. I value education. Therefore, we wouldn't be compatible.
If English is not the home language, then that is a different story. Still, a person would do well to demonstrate literacy proficiency in their first language at least.
