Don't get me wrong, I'm grammar Nazi Supremo and 'official' documents or journalism full of grammatical error boils my p1ss. But here on boards or someplace like it, if people who have dyslexia or who just never really grasped grammar ( some people do just find it really difficult )want to post without breaking a sweat, then that's fine by me. Sure, some people know better and can't be arsed but that's their problem, not mine. BTW, I was responding to another poster. What made you think that you had said something that offended me?

My partner has dyslexia and he can construct a letter with perfect spelling with the aid of a dictionary. He could never grasp grammar at school because he was struggling with reading. I always have to proof read for him to fix the grammatical errors. I can assure you he is neither lazy or stupid.

Being unable to spell or talk properly is a red flag because you want your clients to be able to trust your company's work rate/product, and somebody who's still saying "He done" and "They seen" isn't somebody who shows signs of a solid work ethic/much professional development. They may be among the nicest people in the world, but if you can find an equally nice person who can represent the company more professionally then they will lose out.

Lazy people, in other words. 2. People who don't know the difference between Your (possessive case - e.g. your house) and You're (You are!!!!!) 3. People who think "It's" is a possessive case. It's = it is. Always! It's raining, it's pouring, it's snowing.... Your possessive case is a simple "its" - its windows; its properties; its grammatical exigencies. No apostrophe! 4. They're = They are (always). Their (possessive case) - e.g. their coats. There - e.g. over there. 5. I/you/they/we saw but I/you/they/we have (we've) seen. I/you/they/we seen ==> wrong!!! 6. I/you/they/we did but I/you/they/we have done. I/you/they/we done==> wrong!!! 7. People who get all defensive when crap spelling and syntax is seen for the sign of laziness that it is. 5 and 6 in particular are the biggest red flags in spoken English about a person's education and lack of work ethic. It doesn't look good at all, and most people notice even if they're too polite to say it to you.

Sardonicat wrote: » You're not always going to know if there's a specific learning disability, though, are you? Older adults who never hxad dyslexia diagnosed when at school often have trouble with the grammatical errors you pointed out. Just trying to read and write coherently and keep up were a struggle.

How would you even gently say to somebody 'I have to proofread your letter for the "I seen" and "We done" stuff before you send it out on company-headed paper?' You couldn't, so just ditch the application and get somebody who can do that sort of thing as part of their job.
