i'm judging you and i'm not even all that sorry about it.

I can make allowances in some cases for comma splices, lots of ellipses, the occasional misplaced apostrophe, and stray capital letters (plus and minus). Even some misspellings can be forgiven, if for example the word is not a frequently-used one or the content is otherwise admirable or there is some other mitigating circumstance. But it turns out that if you tell me you have "the up most respect" for women, that's where I'm going to stop reading. Bye, now.

Ouch.

There's someone on my flist who spells beaucoup as "boku." She's dyslexic, and I try to cut her a lot of slack, but I'm really sitting on my hands on this one.

[reginagiraffe]

I wonder if it's the same person as the one on my flist who spells voila as "walla".

[thalia]

She's not on either your LJ or DW list, so apparently there are at least two out there. I think "walla" would drive me even more nuts.

[reginagiraffe]

And it's usually with an exclamation point. As in: Today I showed X to person Y. Walla!

If this dude was talking about his respect for women on an internet dating site I think it's pretty obvious that he was a tool. Rule him out for whatever so long as you rule him out!

[reginagiraffe]

Agreed.

I believe this was the one who was talking about how he was raised by a single parent so he has tremendous (or even the utmost [g]) respect for women particularly those who might be raising kids on their own - but I didn't read that closely, because I couldn't get past "up most".

Reminds me of yesterday's Dinosaur Comics!

Today, of course, I got one without a single apostrophe - so aside from the usual "your" for "you're", it was littered with "Im" and "Ill" and "shes" and so on, suggested that he is looking for a girl who is not a liar or a cheater (going on to say that he had himself been cheated on, and could never make someone feel like that - which didn't follow logically, if you ask me, but never mind, it gets worse) but that if she's not "into affection" or if she's "frigid" they probably wouldn't be a good fit - I know, I'm shocked that this kid is still single at the ripe old age of 29 - and (and!) identifies himself as a man in the same sentence as he identifies the woman he hopes to end up with as a girl.

F MINUS, grasshopper. Jesus.

Wow, that guy makes the first one look like a prize!

And I haven't even told you about the haircut and 'stache.
