    you were right, you just might have scared her a little if she sees you as a friend and thats all. also depends how you said it to her aswell.

    Use a dictionary your spelling would scare me away......I'd say that she was just embarrassed. Don't worry to much about it.

    yeah, but they probably need to read it a couple of times.

    Seriously - use a spell checker, there can't be any excuses for bad spelling these days.

    As for the girl - she might just have been embarrassed about it and then logged off quickly, or else she was uncomfortable with the flattery.

    Don't read too much into it. She may have simply had to go, or someone may have walked in, giving her no privacy. I wouldn't make a big issue of it, just message her as usual.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 631 ✭✭✭Glipmac


    I help people quite abit thay say thanks all the time, it is just polite... she may have had to coz he was going out or sumit just ask her strait out "did i freak you out?" or "why did you freak out?"

    Glip :cool:

    Not everyone who uses boards is a native English writer or speaker so give 'em a break. I'd like to see how people would do on boards.es or boards.co.jp !!!

    His spelling is terrible and my impression is the OP is english and your argument still doesn't stop the OP using spellcheck. If his english is good enough to spell phonetically then he should be able to spot the correct word in spellcheck.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    Can I give you one piece of friendly advice. Work on your spelling. I'm not trying to insult you but you mentioned above you have a job and regardless of what you do in life it reflects badly on you if you can't spell.

    Good luck with the girl also.

    has it been stated he is a english speaker ? has he said that he is speaking english to this girl ? no ...

    Canis , cop on. Sure he doesn't have perfect english, hey i don't have it either. but to be so condisending is just disgusting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 667 ✭✭✭loz


    Maybe she thought you were a weird stalker ?

    Did she help you through these bad patches ? or were you just bugging the shiite out of her til she put you on her ignore list ?

    I'm sure you mean condescending. If he is not a native english speaker I apologise. If he is a native english speaker I stand by what I said.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭crang


    Try and talk to her again. Send her an e-mail explaining that you feel you somehow freaked her out and that was not your intention. Maybe she has a low self esteem to and was afraid of getting to close to anyone for fear of rejection. As for the spelling. Don't worry about it. I could make out all the words perfectly. Not everyone is acadenically geared like out education system requires. People have talents such as being good with their hands or being a natural saleperson ect........(i'm off subject,,,, sorrry)

    .

    id like to say that im not a ntional english speeker no , but my work has no probelm with it because my jobs all about my ears and timming i work in the audio buisness so i have no need for Attension to spelling ...

    but shore look at jackie stewert , richard branson none of them can spell (well its called dislexia )
    yet they earn millions so if you people wanna be so sad about spelling ,
    but i couldnt care regardles because i no my name carries me, nothing else so
    why would i have to worry about something so insignificant ?

    or maybe i just dont care less because i no spelling is unimportant and that my creative abilitys will carry me further in life then anything else . :)

    Il give you a peace of advice ..

    those who chose to nit pick really never do well in life becasue there so picky about everything ule never go any were , be a little more relaxed things always turn out brighter , so chill people just because your lives are so boreing that ya have to complain about other things

    such as spelling hardley justifies liveing a very setisfactory life to me
    oh and be fore you start judeing im trying to insult you im not im
    trying to say HAVE FUN :) .......

    ps thanks for the help full post above and no im not a stalker .. :rolleyes: .

    crang we got it sorted thanks very much we had a coffe just morning :) .and i got a peck on the cheek :eek: :D.. oh and a for off topic dont worry about it :) ....

    .......Il give you a peace of advice ..

    those who chose to nit pick really never do well in life becasue there so picky about everything ule never go any were

    I'll give you a 'peace' of advice..

    Those who ask for advice on an internet forum where the written word is the only form of communication cannot expect good advice when no one can understand what the ***k you are on about.

    Canis is not being the stereotypical forum Grammer Nazi that most forum users despise. Those are the people who will slag a poster for missing the odd comma or typing they're instead of their. This is 'Nit-picking'

    Your posts are on an entirely different level. No punctuation, nearly every word spelt wrong, sentence structure all over the place...so much so that it is almost impossible to discern the meaning of the post.

    The way I'm reading it (after 6 or 7 times) is that you chatted to this girl online. You were depressed or had certain things going on in your life at the time. You didn't tell her about these things in your online conversations but recently when these issues had resolved themselves, you realised that even though she wasn't aware of them, some of the things she said online helped you to resolve these issues in some way. You decided to thank her, along the lines of, "Hey 'Kate', I never told you I was depressed a few months ago, but even so you said certain things that hepled me through it. So thanks"

    If the above synopsis is correct, then my advice or take on the subject is that....

    A. She didn't freak out and really did just have something urgent that needed attention and thus had to cut that particuler online chat short.

    or

    B. She didn't know about your issues at the time and really was freaked out when all of a sudden, you're thanking her for helping you through your depression last month/year or whenever it was. She's thinking, "Damn he seemed so normal in all our earlier conversations and now it seems he has/had some issues with depression...God I don't want to be dealing with that"

    I'm not slagging you mate, but you have to understand that we are not nit-picking. Like I said previously, in an intenet forum where the only form of communication is the written word, we have to be able to understand the post to be able to give good advice to you. You may not need to be able to use the written word perfectly in your chosen field of work but a decent grasp of grammer and spelling is usefull elsewhere.

    There is no need to be embarressed about it, but you shouldn't get defensive either and refuse to improve your grammer and spelling just because you don't need it in your particular 'creative' field. The fact that you deny being a native speaker despite phonetically spelling Irish accented slang type words which is a giveaway indicates that you are embarressed, when you shouldn't be. You had other priorities as a kid, like having fun rather than learning how to spell correctly. you didn't pay quite as much attention in school as you should. Thats fine, but don't go through the rest of your life, barely able to put a coherant sentence to 'Paper'. You're a mature adult now. You catch up on the writting skills you missed out on in school while you were having fun and I'll catch up on the fun I missed out on in school (I'm still a big kid :D ) while learning to write. Its a silly little analogy but I think you get my point.

    Cailbous yes i have lived in ireland for a very long time but lets just say that my up bringing and your up bringing are intirely different i dont feel the need to go into that as
    for the eduaction in this country . What ? When will i ever need the pipe agurous theory ?

    as for everything else im from a different race of people one that doesnt need to worry
    about such matters , you seem like an intelegent person actully very intelegent .

    While i was in school in this country well lets just say this , my relgion was mocked ,
    bye teachers, i was called the village idiot bye techers and genrally never had any fun
    because of teachers and the way they treated me and spoke to me , they thaught i
    was thick and stupid , but in a matter of fact it was there own teaching skills that were the cause of the problem not me .

    I despise the techers that taught me because they thaught me one thing HATE .Which sadly is my bigest weekness.

    Now thats not much insentive to want to learn is it ?

    you summed up a lot of intersting facts ome of which are true .

    my sentence structure.
    Im sorry but i can only try my best and if thats not good enough what is ?

    I dont get embarressed or defensive i have no need to be , im a peace with the fact
    that i am not academicly minded and it does'nt bother me . I can understand the point of veiw of what you are saying . but please dont try to understand me because unless
    you have well been braught up the way i was u wont , and sadly that is a fact .

    My why of life is very different the things that are important to me are honesty , loyalty , my family,friends, and the word help , which is somthing that you all have done .Sadly it doesnt exist any were else to this day unless something can be gained from it well thats not intirely true but im shore you can understand me .

    resaerch the word Lemuria , and you may get more anwsers ..there :) ..thats where booth my heart and relgon are at .
