Such wonderful rain but not nearly enough. And cheers Missb for saving me putting up another post. Astounding how someones spelling and grammar skills seems an important part of judging ones true being. The one thing I have learned throughout my life is it does not matter how one writes if you take some time you can see what they are trying to say. Not really an important aspect in life just society based. Though I am fairly particular with my own writing, other peoples do not bug me. It isn't like it is text speak, which really pisses me off, such a teenage thing to me and in a written message just lazy and kinda seems rude to me. Rant over and I hope all had a great day yesterday with family and friends or like me with my fuzzy buddies

Quoting 'TisonlyI'text speak, which really pisses me off, such a teenage thing to me and in a written message just lazy and kinda seems rude to me. You can make the argument that that is how some people are learning to spell these days, if not through education than by their peers. And where lies the line between complaining about someone's spelling and being annoyed by text speak, made-up words or overuse of punctuation?

Love your post,thank you. To all those whose major problems at the moment are lack of spelling, grammer and over use of ? & !....be thankful. Thankful you have not experienced what it is like to lose your home in a fire, you have not been caught in a bushfire trying to outrun it. You have not been caught up in a extremist attack overseas, you have not witnessed a friend drop dead in front of you 2 days before Christmas, you have not had to think about their family preparing for a funeral instead of celebrating together. Yes, incorrect spelling etc can be a little annoying at times....but to continue to rubbish those who trouble with it without knowing anything about them is more upsetting. Especially when there are many other things happening in the world that are sadder. Personally, I love to over use both ??? & !!! as I know it riles quite a few of you.

I am merely making a comment from what has appeared over the past page here. It comes across, once again that you and a few other have issues with others spelling etc. I was pointing out that there are far bigger issues that concern me. Or am I not allowed to do that???? As far as the comparison of awful events in peoples lives....that has all happened to me over the past few weeks. Does that make me childish......or just saddened and compassionate? I do not want anyone's sympathy.....I am not crying out for attention. I am only stating the facts in my life at the moment. I am sure there are others out there having an even tougher time in their lives right now. Grammer and spelling just seem a little bit banal to be pissed off with at the moment. All I was saying......is to be thankful.

Quoting 'TisonlyI' Not really an important aspect in life Many jobs these days require reasonable to very high levels of communication skills, written and verbal. Plus, basic spelling and grammar are important in so many everyday tasks. No, a person's character or abilities should not be solely judged on their level of such skills, but it's not true to say they are not important in life.

I guess nobody really knows where the line is Meander it depends on how open to everything one is. The line I see for my comparison is based on the judgemental issue that if one cannot spell or has trouble with the English language (which sadly some of us take for granted) they are deemed not as intelligent as others where as text speak carries no stigma as it is just a creation to aid an already far too fast paced way of living, that's the way I see it anyway. On an amusing note. I can see in years to come, if our earth survives long enough people sitting on forums complaining about the misspelling of acronyms and internet slang.

That this thread is not only for complaining about how your house was burned down, you had to attend a funeral, and on the way there you were attacked by extremists - though if any of those things happened to you and you are coming here to grieve, you have my true condolences. To quote the OP, however: "What are your "Vents", if any, or are you happy with everything in life. (just fun general vents and complaints about life in general, not serious), Could be Politics, sex, partners, weather, work, kids, parents, friends (or lack of), the cost of beer, wine, or salami !!!! anything." I reserve the right to complain about my salami.

To be met with derisive bullying tactics? Personally, I do my grieving in private....not online. My first post was about being thankful, how trite it is to be worried about others ability or lack of, correct grammar & spelling when there are sadder things happening around us all in the world. I suppose its a little silly to post about being thankful on a venting thread...I was just hoping that others may see the bigger picture....you know, embrace the Christmas spirit and all that jazz.

I see plenty of people who grieve here about their lost loves, lost family members - and I don't think I have once seen anyone bullied to for it. And is it trite to complain about grammar or spelling when there are bigger, sadder things happening? Sure. These are First World Problems. But it's my understanding that this thread is meant to encompass people venting about the big, the small, and everything in between. What makes me sad is to see a community that I have seen at times be so welcoming and supportive get so divided and fractious that it drives long-time users away because they don't want to deal with the drama anymore. Maybe it's just a wave the forums are going through, but I've been sad to see a number of folks go because of this. Even if I didn't always agree with them, they contributed to the community and their absence is felt.

You have just witnessed your first lot of derisive bullying to a person grieving. For the first time in a very long time, I was stupid enough to post about personal happenings in my life.I did not say that anyone was judgemental or narrow minded,or call anyone rude or nasty names, I acknowledged Missb72's post and asked that people be thankful. I was making a comparison that means something to me right now. For that I am called childish and told to grow up. You, yourself, even question the credibility of my comments. You quote the OP post about the broad topics of possible Vents....am I not allowed to vent about others vents? Has everyone lost their compassion? If poor spelling & grammar is a problem for some folk in life right now, thats fabulous , obviously life is good for them right now. Its been said across the forums many times, dislike the post, not the poster. It appears that the few who really dislike me are not capable of that grace at a sad time in my life.

...as I've done much volunteer work with kids at schools in literacy. Just because you can speak it doesn't mean you can spell it. I take it you already know I take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough and dough? Others may stumble, but not you, On hiccough, thorough, lough and through? Well done! And now you wish, perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps? Beware of heard, a dreadful word That looks like beard and sounds like bird, And dead: it's said like bed, not bead – For goodness sake don't call it deed! Watch out for meat and great and threat (They rhyme with suite and straight and debt). A moth is not a moth in mother, Nor both in bother, broth in brother, And here is not a match for there Nor dear and fear for bear and pear, And then there's dose and rose and lose – Just look them up - and goose and choose, And cork and work and card and ward, And font and front and word and sword, And do and go and thwart and cart – Come, come, I've hardly made a start! A dreadful language? Man alive! I'd mastered it when I was five. Some of the most intelligent people I know in a particular occupation/profession can't write down how to achieve what they do but to tell and show people this they cannot be surpassed.

I know venting about those university notices on profiles has been done many times before, but I encountered a new one. This notice said anyone "accessing" their profile for research would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Surely before you write that notice, you'd stop and think "hang on, how would they know about this condition BEFORE accessing my profile? Does this make sense?" Quoting 'Freya70' Anythink,somethink and nothink..why do some people mispronounce these words?..I confess to the fingers down the blackboard feeling when I hear it but apparently it could be a cockney remnant and common in families not laziness..and not just the Australians but the English ,and the NZs are guilty of this but not the Americans or the Canadians..xxFreya surely this has obvious parallels with the spelling/grammar/word choice gripes?

Once again you choose to misunderstand me,I won't respond to your posts anymore..I was interested to know why people spell or mispronounce those words.It wasn't a gripe...I found a reason,..Its quite common and is often generational. ...accents are similar..if you go back through this thread you will find two other posts where I am unconditionally supportive of people who have difficulty with spelling .

I'm sorry to hear your going through some tough times right now. Thinking of you, and hope it gets better. I'd just like to say though, that people having gripes about something minor in their lives doesn't necessarily mean that's the worst thing that is going on. I've been unleashing my frustration vocally at the petrol stations around me who have lowered their fuel prices 4 consecutive times since I filled up 2 days before Christmas. Is it an earth-shattering drama? Not at all. It's just a way for me to let of some steam, so I can perhaps feel a little mor equipped to deal with the other more serious issues in my life. A friend once told me that comparing our struggles to others' isn't really productive - pain and hardship isn't competition. My tough is tough. Your tough is tough. And whilst we may wish for something different in our own lives, or the lives of the people we love, it is what it is. My thoughts to all those who are struggling with hardships over this season. And my thanks to those who have helped me deal with my own. And S, those university things get my goat too.

Quoting 'Stirry' is who in their right mind puts the toilet paper over and not under?? - Posted from rhpmobile Someone who uses one of the communal toilets at work constantly changes the rolls so that they go under. It drives people nuts, and every so often there are indignant emails that go around asking for people to stop changing it. Toilet paper politics. It's too funny!

To tylannister, the perspective of big picture and first world problems is a very poignant. To MissB72 well said, with a element of tragedy re your former husband being hit around the head. I agree with your comments about judging people. I work with a guy a few times a year and took a couple of years to actually chat with the guy who I thought was just shy. Them when we were talking I realised he has a heavy studder. I said to him "it's ok, I'm liestening, I'm with you, take your time" now he comes over to me to chat, I feel very fortunate to have his trust and that he feels comfortable to talk with me. Our oldest has severe dyspraxia, people who meet him for the first time won't and don't understand him, after getting to know him you can understand him. Also he has minimal short term memory so conversation is mostly random and hearing impairment contributing to his dyspaxia, yet his zest for life is infectious to those around him. A little patience with him goes a long way. To Ruby Blossum maybe some context got lost in translation in the mono dimensional language that is text, I do believe the people hear are supportive, would it last if it was negative? I'm not a confident speller, most of what I check is correct but feel the need to check. I avoid using spell check so I check my spelling to pick up on the correction rather then it just happen and not pick up on the correction. I read when I can, mostly articles. I don't write during the day due to working with my hands, therefore not exposed to words and grammar all day. I remember in school years going with my mum to learn morephografic speling, my spelling improved though not my confidence and I learnt the difference parenting, support and encouragement makes. Cheers Adam

Apparently I am poor communicator with the written word. Again, Ruby, there are a few people around who simply do not like to be contradicted on their views, and must always be 'right', so you must therefore be 'wrong'. It is, of course, not so much in the communicating, but in the understanding of the recipient, and what you write as against what THEY want to understand. As the old saying goes, there just ain't no pleasing some people. C'est la vie ! Pretty sure I acknowledged that there are probably others having a tougher time than me at the moment as well. I really didnt expect to have my personal sadness and thoughts of being thankful treated with such derision.....wont be making that mistake again. Ruby, don't be dissuaded from posting what you feel you should be able to be. ALL forum subjects and postings are, after all, opinions of all who use this media, and we all have opinions. Unless there are actual facts in dispute, there is really nothing right or wrong about the actions to post. We all generally just write here to pass some time and express opinions or gather info.

... I don't have any problems with a spelling, just the spellcheck is not working 100% all the time. Ohh, I forgot to mention, my first language is NOT an English, so does it make me what? Tell me please. Also, some people come here to meet others for fun, relationship, date, sex or whatever else. I would like to see it, how strict your rules are. Next time when you are having a (hot) date, just asked them when they moan or they mumbled something, "Could you please spell it for me?" or "Sorry, here is a pen and paper, write it down for me, ok?" Of course, you should have some text in your profile (don't look at mine), I'm working on it. You Mr and/or Mrs xyz123 (not real) yes you and "your-perfect-grammar-spelling-with-no-mistakes-profile" you might go to a local public library. ;) Seriously, you have probably spent 1-3 hours maybe more, reading it back to front 50+x so you can be 100% right. Admin: Can you add into "My Personal Info" another selection list: Grammar & Spelling is Important - Yes/No That should fix this issue. Rant and Vent over ;)

@stirry.....lol @Tall.... @Mnau At different times in my life, I have found that anyone who has English as a second language can be the most pedantic about spelling & grammar. At times, English can make no sense at all. I have older clients , various nationalities, who immigrated to Australia and wanting to fit into their new Country as best they could, learnt English. 30-40-50 years on, they still question me about the ridiculous nature of our language.

Especially when it comes to Spelling and Grammar Nazi bullies. I think it's about time some posters said enough is enough. It's gone on for too long (over time) and some posters have got away with it. So well done to recent posters who have stood up and said its not ok to put others down, and given their reasons why. Good on you. If enough posters stand up, eventually they stop. They forget how many people actually read the forums and do not post for they are too scared too (I know quite a few who feel this way) cause they feel they will be attacked. It actually saddens me. Such a shame. :( Ms Foxy

I have older clients , various nationalities, who immigrated to Australia and wanting to fit into their new Country as best they could, learnt English. 30-40-50 years on, they still question me about the ridiculous nature of our language. I have to admit that I am one of those "pedantic" spellers and checkers, but mainly in relation to my own use. Even though I was born here, English actually was my second language too, just as per Mnau. When I first went to school, my knowledge of English was virtually negligible. It was only during primary school that I developed an interest in the dictionary, and for some time actually read it, just like you would a novel. But the difference in using the knowledge depends on the circumstances at the time. As we have had a diverse culture in Australia for many years, English has been less important for many of the "first arrivals", with their children and grand-children being the ones who usually end up translating back to older generations. And also, there are people who do just have genuine difficulty with language (regardless of the language) due to any number of reasons, including dyslexia and so on. If you recognize that, then use your "maturity" to distinguish between those occurances, there should be the element of common sense to not pick on people who have genuine difficulty. However, unfortunately, common sense usually is not so common. Tall

NightJasmine, it's not direct bullying or bullying at all, I think. It really depends how the user/reader "personally" takes an actual profile, where some users/writers are specific about spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. You should know how to spell or use semicolon or to know the difference between your-yours-you're if you want to reply to them. It's the condition. The point is, the user/reader can be a (perfect) match, but it may not be his/hers fault not knowing how to spell properly.

Thank for your approval. Do you think is OK to vent, how others should spell their words and how they should write them? How I read it is, it is a convert form of bullying. Is it not? Remember years ago people with learning disabilities (who could not read or write) where shunned in society, locked away in institutions because they were frustrated, a danger to society so to speak (well some where), We all have rights, and those who's talents may not be reading or writing as a high skill should not be ridiculed for it. Times are changing, text speak is on its way in. Are we educated to stand up and say something, advocate is someone is shunned or belittled for their spelling and errors, are we not? Ms Foxy

If you explain to them that English is not your first language I'm sure most if not all of those people would take that into account. If they don't...well then you're not a perfect match because you don't match what they are looking for. You cannot change someone else's preferences, or force them to accept you. Plus...if someone is going to reject you solely because you as a person from a non-English speaking background don't have perfect English, are they really someone you want to know?

There has been a short haitus from the belittling of people for their less than perfect ability to express themselves in a way intellectual snobs approve of. I'd largely thank Freya for that with her efforts to give a more human aspect to online posting in this fora that has not minimised the intellingence one whit. I think what we have here is mental intelligence but there is also emotional intelligence which I think is often missing from this environment. :-Peachy

Quoting 'SuperFoxxxy'Thank for your approval. Do you think is OK to vent, how others should spell their words and how they should write them? How I read it is, it is a convert form of bullying. Is it not? Remember years ago people with learning disabilities (who could not read or write) where shunned in society, locked away in institutions because they were frustrated, a danger to society so to speak (well some where), We all have rights, and those who's talents may not be reading or writing as a high skill should not be ridiculed for it. Times are changing, text speak is on its way in. Are we educated to stand up and say something, advocate is someone is shunned or belittled for their spelling and errors, are we not? Ms Foxy I simply don't think it is possible to make a solid argument that applies en masse and is based on dyslexia/serious learning disabilities, they're the exception not the rule. Plenty of people happily vilify the "hey slut wanna fuck" message sending galoots. Why aren't they passed off as some poor individual suffering from a learning disability, or a mental condition precluding the ability to express themselves in a way that is not so crude? That sure seems like ridiculing and/or vilifying someone who does not have have good communication skills. Isn't that bullying them by posting how much you dislike cock shots and "wanna fuck" messages, possibly sent them into a shame spiral that stopped them seeking help for their condition. (Yes, I'm being deliberately ridiculous... or am I, maybe it happened, but even if so, they vast majority were just asshats/arsehats who sent an annoying message). Couldn't we also say that these anti-"spell correctly" posts are a form of bullying against people who really appreciate proper spelling and grammar? Anyway, back to venting: A few from the nude beach - people who put their towel down too close to yours when there is plenty of space; when the aforementioned people adjust their towel to put their groin level with your face. And a special mention to the woman who caused a kerfuffle carrying on that there were naked children at a nude 'family beach' and it was encouraging pedofiles, and that other people at the beach were pedofiles and a bunch of nonsense before running back off the beach.

No not really..I believe when "some" (not many) posters repeatedly target, or try to intimate, dominate others by how intelligent they are to boost their egos, by correcting someone's errors or saying it should be spelt this way or that way etc etc. I do call that a form of covert bullying. I have seen it many many times within the forums, and recently happened to me. I guess what I am saying is...Is there a need to intimidate, dominate or even mock/make fun of, those with poor spelling (due to lack of education) or simple spelling errors, rather than just ignore, move on or private message?? Would you say that's ok to do?? At the end of the day I think "some" not all posters forget, there are human beings out there (who read) who are too scared to post and will not due to fear of being ridiculed. (Take MsB post for example). Ms Foxy

Growing up in a beachside town myself, many moons ago, most small kids didnt wear bathers ( as we called them) I think I was around 7 when I actually first wore a top at the beach. Different times. Although paedophilia was running rampant in churches schools, boys homes,and establishments like scouts, with vip rings and trafficking etc, going by the findings of the royal commission into child abuse, that has only touched the tip of the damage that was done in boys homes,with the amount of adult survivors that are coming forward.( will be survivors interviews on aus vip peado rings on 60 minutes in the near future, they just finished filming it) Shame that most of the perpatrators are either dead or in nursing homes or too high up to be touched legally. So my point is, paedos arent all sitting at a beach watching kids with their families. They arent that obvious. They are sly and calculated and caniving. Not sitting at a beach in full view

We post our opinions/responses and get jumped on if its not what people agree with. Basically we can go 3 ways. Agree = positive Disagree = negative Neutral = 2 shillings each way (im old) To post to say someone is being negative is actually being negative. If you dont want to read anything but positive posts, reality check or perhaps fuck off to Pleasantville.

I do believe my point has been proven.. And that it is not ok to target others for their spelling and grammar, even to tell someone to "F**k off" (Annie smack on the bottom with a paddle for you 😋) . Meander, thank you for apologising. If I hadn't said anything would you have still apologised 🤔??? I think you just outed yourself there, tho.. not just to myself but others also who mock those with spelling errors. It does not intimidate me, I'm sure they can judge for their selves. And if I want to use multiple !!!! And ???? And spell "somefink" like that, I will and I can. Have a great New Year. Ms Foxy

Grammar shmammer, perhaps if you made an effort to understand what was being said... The mention of outing has nothing to do with your 'name'.

Pleasantville has been filled with pain and loss, thanks Whatever, for the first time this year, I lost people who mattered to me in my little world, that's what happens when you let people in. I'll be attending the rememberence for one of the most beautiful women I ever knew tomorrow. She was one of the best people I ever knew and I was blessed and honoured to have had her in my life and to have been part of hers since before she could speak. I wonder why she is gone and I'm still here. I was talking to Whatever, MissB, it was a post I was in the middle of writing while you wrote your's I guess. See what I mean about not knowing. Thank you for your typical dismissive reply Meander. and Was the poor grammar deliberate? Sorry I have only shared season's greetings with my nearest and dearest. Cheers.

Truly sorry for your loss. But we dont read minds about your current feelings. Let us know first so we can make adjustments in the way we interpret your post to us. It otherwise seems that you are venting at us instead of with us. All the best anyway.

I attended the first public RC in Perth earlier this year Willow, a few short months before I gave my own evidence in a hearing that went well over the hour it was supposed to take. I crammed my records in the 2 weeks leading up to it to give the most coherent evidence possible. Imo, it should be extended beyond the current terms of reference though to include other abuses. Sexual abuse is the tip of the iceberg. :-( and It seems to be more of a grab at church purses. Things are still the same in the system, the gov needs to look at itself. In related news Cliff Richard was charged for a 2004 offence yesterday. Peachy

but that's where I was coming from with my mention that we just don't know. I don't want and don't feel a need to explain myself to anyone. My loss has nothing to do with the topic at hand but you asked about how Pleasantville was...

I dont think it was cliff richard charged yesterday. Although there is still a police investigation on his matters. Bill Cosby was charged yesterday. Out on $1 mil bail. But still charged. Prob did a plea bargain. Plead guilty to one and wipe the other dozens of drugging rapes he's been accused of by multiple women. Will be interesting to see how that transpires.

Urgh, they've all blurred into one. So many of my favourite artists have ended up being creeps, it has turned my world around. I really hope they get him good. But I'm cynical. :-) Peachy

Besides, what youre thinking being none of my business... That quote is the merest fraction of what I said. The context being that you seem so focused on grammar etc, you miss what is being said. As I read it, Foxy was not outing you at all. But her point ended up completely overlooked in favour of a mistake about what she said. :-) Peachy

He was playing the "old man" card at court. Walking stick, having trouble reading documents handed to him , didnt know where to sign etc. His sentance will be short due to his age. If he is proven guilty.

I am so glad this year is over. It has been a bloody hard year. All the best everyone for next year. Also. Vents are not supposed to cause arguments. I drive sometimes and yell at someone for doing something stupid, or just something that annoyed me. No body can hear me yell except me (so not road rage), frustration is gone though and I can carry on with the rest of my trip (The purpose of a vent.... To make yourself feel better and get rid of the frustration, without hurting anyone else)

Not a vent here, but an article on venting. Google New York Times Microcomplaint. The article ends with a great quote by American gridiron coach, Lou Holtz: “Never tell your problems to anyone. Twenty percent don’t care, and the other 80 percent are glad you have them.” I, for one, still think this is a valuable thread, though.

Quoting 'Summer_solstice' Also said this: "When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least." He sounds like a real compassionate guy. Well, I didn't say I agreed with him.

Quoting 'Summer_solstice' Stunned by how many people here do not see any difference between being in an open relationship (non-monogamy, polyamory) and screwing other people without their partner's knowledge or consent. Unfuckingbelievable. I can't see a whole lot of difference either- in both scenario's someone isn't content or satisfied how they choose to deal with that-is their fucking business

Quoting 'xoJulesox' how they choose to deal with that-is their fucking business When they post about it on a public forum they make it other people's business. Don't want other people to comment or hear dissenting views, don't post about it.

Quoting 'Summer_solstice' Stunned by how many people here do not see any difference between being in an open relationship (non-monogamy, polyamory) and screwing other people without their partner's knowledge or consent. Unfuckingbelievable. Some person actually saying that everyone has joined RHP to find something that is not happening in their personal relationships? What about all the singles and couples playing together (and not because something's missing) on here? I really think some posters have this site confused with Ashley Madison... But I've said enough about cheating. Like my dad says: You can't change a liar.

I'm about to leave my lovely air conditioned home for a week in Perth - high temperatures and no air conditioning? Ugh! It's lucky that I'm spending the week with some amazing people, or is be venting about my holiday - as it is, I'm just annoyed at the heat. I was going to say "I hate Summer" but then thought someone might take offence - I mean the season, not the person, to be perfectly clear. I'd hate to make an arch enemy! - Posted from rhpmobile
