I have to chime in here...I don't feel the misspelling of her words makes her less mature than someone who can spell properly. She has already acknowledged to us all that she isn't good at spelling AND that she has A.D.D. Given that the majority on YT possess good writing skills, it does not make those who don't any less of a member, nor does it give anyone the right to point out their faults or make them feel like S**t to the point that they are in tears. Can we get a little bit of kindness here. I totally feel for this girl. My best friend has dyslexia and growing up everyone made fun of her and treated her like she was mentally retarded. She still has problems writing but has always been smart as a whip. I got into so many fights through the years defending her due to people's lack of tolerance and misconceptions. So please give this girl a break. It doesn't take a genius to read what she has written, just a little consideration and patience. Definitely the perfect way to scare the less-than-perfect spellers away :thumbdown . |
YorkieShadow - I'm an English teacher......and, we English teachers have this terrible disease. We can't keep our mouths shut - especially when we see someone being so misunderstood and ending up having their feelings hurt because they need help with their English. This poor girl was even accused of being a "scammer," which she probably isn't. She is probably nothing more than a nice girl who is trying to get some help here on YT. I do think she was given a lot of good advice. I have seen the same good advise given over and over again to other posters. I hope she stays on YT.....especially if she gets a Yorkie, which I'm sure she will eventually do. And - for the record - your spelling is just fine! Carol Jean |

This is not YT Investigations...have some heart people....I know this Board is above this type of behavior. I have over 7000 posts and I never learned to type....I use my two pointer fingers and peck!!! And I minored in English but I make grammatical errors all the time!! I am constantly hitting the caps key and typing in caps on accident.....lol....I think most members get over stuff like that pretty quickly. :) |

So lets try and for get this ever happened and Have some fun reading about all these cute furbabies. :D |

I usually hate when people make negative comments on my English.. so I hope nobody will!!.. It doesn't matter if English is your first language or not.. everyone makes a bit of mistakes in their languages... I personally think I speak and write better than some native speakers.. and that is fine.. So.... this is not ESL or English class room. So we need to chill and not to be judgmental about other people... |
I am not saying to type formally on YT.... But usually those who type/speak the way presented do appear juvenile or uneducated. I am sorry if people are offended by that, but it is the truth. Also, I can see how people might have thought she was related to the puppy scam. Usually people only mention the scam from puppyfinder once, then they learn. It was mentioned in a couple threads. Since she says that she's not there is no way to prove it. So the best thing to do is drop it and live and learn. |
