    I've seen better spelling and grammar in the facebook thread.

    OP is dyslexic according to posting history.

    I find Irish complain a LOT more about Ireland than immigrants.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,461 ✭✭✭Bubbaclaus


    I fell on me arse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,657 ✭✭✭Royal Legend


    If you found out the OP maybe had a learning disability, would you all be as quick to mock him? No doubt that it would not mean jack sh1t to some of the more ignorant fkucers on here

    Have a read of the OP's previous posts before you start making assumptions about people you do not know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 281 ✭✭skankkuvhima


    Are we all supposed to read the history of all the users before we reply to them? Go away out of that

    Dyslexia or no dyslexia, poor spelling and grammar is still poor spelling and grammar. Attack the post, not the poster.

    Well, in that case it would appear I'm a bit of a cnut (It's ironic that I have to misspell cnut to get it on here).

    Oh Please.
    So what? We are supposed to assume everyone on here with poor spelling has a disability?
    No need to sidetrack the thread with your PC "to the rescue" brigade.

    It is a common thing among migrants.

    When abroad speaking to a local the home country is better.
    When home speaking to a local the foreign country is better.

    I think it is a symptom of not really wanting to be abroad, but having to go for work or whatever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 226 ✭✭0127647


    I'm Irish, I think Dublin is a dump and I work there LOL

    No you're not. I'm dyslexic (although only moderately) and every device I use to post here has spellcheck (my best friend and my worst enemy). Unless he is using a device set to a different language.

    OP, are you non-native English speaker by any chance? are you a non Irish getting annoyed at the non Irish putting down the Irish?

    He's not non-native.

    I've never seen much criticism of Ireland, weather and public transport aside, from immigrants.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12


    I find it rude. Not that Im all that patriotic but I think its just not nice to come to another country and bang on and on about how **** the country is to the locals. I don't I would ever go abroad and do that. Much less complain about it AND compare it my homeland and keep saying how much better it was there. Ive met several spanish students who did this and it made me dislike them as people

    It was however still unreadable. And most dyslexics will do better than that.

    PC is cool and right, there are probably a lot of people who post on boards who have issues, no friends, depression, living at home with their mammies, gender issues and dyslexia, we know the OP has a girlfriend and get out to shop at Dunnes, so that rules out most of the above, but we can guess that he is dyslexic, which category do you fall into Scrubsfanchris? :rolleyes:

    If it's a choice between guessing dyslexic or drunk I'll guess drunk every time

    Tell all your Cork acquaintances to go home if they don't like living in Dublin.

    It can also be both

    Are we all supposed to guess this? People picked up your errors, they didn't pick on you personally.
    Posts like yours are a dime a dozen in After Hours and 99% of the time its people who have had drink too many. They get the piss taken out of them in jest, we move on.

    Why not stick "Apologies for spelling, yada yada" in your signature or something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 427 ✭✭Boggy Turf


    A known taboo for Irish people is foreigners criticising their country even though Irish people never stop giving out about Ireland. It's a taboo in many other countries too.

    Do you use spelling and grammar check tools? That would make a difference


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,164 ✭✭✭Butters1979


    Sorry OP, I also have dyslexia and it can be a pain but I just use spell check. It's not an excuse for typing like you're on Facebook.

    Sadly my forum means I can't work a I o u e from each other and loads of words that are wrong look right to me sadly there is Notting I cs do about it. Spell check can't work out a good 80% of my typing.

    No it doesn't. Plenty of official documents have the letters "E&OE" at then end of them. It means Errors & Omissions Excepted.

    In your eyes what would you consider deslexa as to me you sound like I have to hand out cards to people saying I have deslexa?. Like it did not stop me from getting 2 degrees if your wondering....

    You can turn on autocorrect on your phone. I have mild dyslexia but you'd never know it thanks to the power of technology.

    No excuse for mass spelling errors when you could very easily turn on autocorrect.
