Ffs how have you got to your age without working on some of these skills, and to be honest when I say people, let's be honest it's mainly men

Perhaps some people get to adulthood without being able to write grammatically correct sentences as well.

Perplexled · 09/10/2025 14:37

Ironic…

SadOldLadyOfTheLowlands · 09/10/2025 14:37

Eh?

Been drinking early OP?

KillMeMounjaro · 09/10/2025 14:38

I don't even understand your thread title 🥴

TickyandTacky · 09/10/2025 14:39

You on the other hand, perfecto!

Spanador · 09/10/2025 14:39

This has to be a joke right? Your title and post are both written badly, there's a glaring spelling mistake, your grammar is terrible and you don't know how to use a comma

Pleasegetmeacoffeesotired · 09/10/2025 14:39

Shocking that you typed this out and still didn't see the irony.

Davros · 09/10/2025 14:39

And poor punctuation in the thread title

Bluevelvetsofa · 09/10/2025 14:39

Commas, full stops and speech marks.

Second rule of the internet, comment on someone's SPAG and you will stuff it up somehow

Yes I'm dyslexic, so what, doesn't hold me back

What's the context, why are people telling you that they aren't good with words?

TheBaronesshasWrittenaLetter · 09/10/2025 14:42

Hold you back from what, communicating your point clearly?

Your thread title is nonsensical though. What does "need to unskilled then" mean?

BreakingBroken · 09/10/2025 14:42

Maybe it’s the people you chum with? Are you similarly unskilled?

Didshejustsaythatoutloud · 09/10/2025 14:42

How have you managed to get to your age without being able to structure a basic sentence 😂

ObtuseMoose · 09/10/2025 14:44

Hoist by your own petard, perfection.

Perhaps not having the skills you deem so comment worthy hasn’t held back others either.

I agree, it hasn't held you back from writing new nonsense.

Dyslexics are usually self aware. I doubt your written comprehension is purely dyslexia. What else is going on with you?

I think she meant upskill.

ie learn to be better with words.

But I would like the context that everyone is saying to her that aren't good with words.

I mean I hear it from my teens - it means they lack confidence and need some support to work out how to say things - not that they are completely inarticulate. I've also heard it from people being cunts and then getting called on it and hiding behind being poor with words.

Dyslexic or not. What complete & utter nonsense, have you been at the wine?
