I mean on Facebook posts, sites where people are asking for items to be donated etc
I just think if you're going to post, at least check what you've written!
To name a few:
Your / you're
Draws for drawers
There / their / they're
To / too
How do others feel?

Irrational

I think you need to abide by your own rules!

Irrationally what?

Irrationally ironic?

I used to be a bit like this and then I started dating someone who is dyslexic and now I understand. Some people may be dyslexic, others may not have been lucky enough to have received a good education. We shouldn't judge, no matter how irritating it may be to see words spelled wrong or incorrect grammar.

Oh dear do ask them to edit your thread title.

I think people should check for typos in their thread titles before complaining about other people’s spellings Grin

Some of us are dyslexic. We still manage better grammar that you though.

Brilliant

I think grammar isn't too important on facebook. On a post criticising people's grammar, on the other hand...

Paul72 · 04/03/2021 19:43

I make the odd spelling mistake on Facebook but when I see it I edit the original post.

I do get annoyed when people add a post to explain what they meant, rather then simply editing their original post.
