to defriend someone for actually using the word 'discusted'?

[LoopaDaLoopa]

In all seriousness. For real. She actually wrote that on her status.

Surely, not unreasonable to defriend?

YANBU

She needs to learn.

YANBU - I can't bear horrendous spelling. It makes me angry just looking at it!! I'm the same with poor grammar!!

My husband nearly bought his mom a mug the other day that said, "Keep calm your going to be a Grandma" - I wanted to smash it!!!!

How can companies not be ashamed to be so publically stupid???

You are defiantly not being unreasonable. That's rediculous!

YANBU although I raise you someone commenting about The PM laying a reef at the cenotaph today.

Discusting. YANBU

Ha, naughty PM! That would be hilarious.

Defriend and report to the gramma, grandma grammar police. You owe it to society.

YANBU. Although I keep the "discustards" because they make me feel all warm inside.

YANBU.

I have a friend, an English teacher, who frequently misuses apostrophes. It makes me cringe but I daren't correct her!

I think your are being totally unreasonable.
Not everyone is good at spelling or grammar, some of us struggle with dyslexia as well.

I would be mortified if you were one of my real friends thinking like this and joking about me.

:)

I keep these people on Facebook because they give me a nice, warm superior feeling .

I always add a comment and correct them

Although I am a stickler for spelling myself... My cousin does this all the time, but she is dyslexic and I don't wish to look a twat by correcting her.

God I hate that.

And sossiges. Fucking sossiges.

I actually remember the day I learned to spell sausages, I was in yr 3 and we were doing words like sausages, queen etc.

God my memory is good. Either that or something scarred me for life that day.

A lovely one I saw on here was something like 'I never meant mix bottle feeding with bfing but it was the only way I could get any restbite'.

They estimate 10% of the population have dyslexia. It is highly likely it would have been missed in the previous generation especially in brighter people who could cover up their difficulties. My brother definitely has it and managed to get through school without being diagnosed. YAbvu.

Well, I would like to say that hanging's too good for the thick bastards, but that would probably get me flamed so I will just say that YANBU.

restbite

A (late 30s professional) friends of mine said "amazeballs" on FB yesterday. I informed him we could no longer be friends!

"friends?" Sorry, no, there's just one of him.

It might have been just a typing mystake.

Yep, some people do have dyslexia. But some are just thick.

In any case, it works both ways. Apparently people think it's fine to take the piss out of those of us who are anal about spelling and grammar, so the way I see it's fine for us to take the piss out of them for being thick.

well said sharplily - my sister is super think when it comes to things like this. Her spelling is fine but her brain can't cope with the concepts of:

their/there/they're
too/to
we're/were
your/you're

She doesn't understand how apostrophes work either

I CONSTANTLY publically correct her on FB (as does our dad, lol) and she reciprocates by taking the piss out of us. It's all done in good humour!!
