Why do so many men can not write properly and make so many spelling errors? I noticed that I know very many men who can not write well, and above all not true. I mean, they make spelling errors while they are still incredibly creative. Since words are messed up, because I would never come on it that you can write so wrong. Even with my name, the men always have problems. Since they need only write it, but they did not create. The is then messed up a man's name comes out. I may sometimes texts by men (or SMS messages) do not understand, because there are so many mistakes. Is it just me, or is generally so that men are absolute studs spelling and grammar?

I can not understand why it is so difficult for men to write your name, because Rifnne. is not really difficult! lol Maybe you should also look outside the box sometimes, because there are some men who can write and correct the grammatical and orthographic. However, experience shows that girls in reading and writing skills have fewer problems. I guess you have the wrong friends!

It may be , that men are not very good in spelling or don't have a nice handwriting, but they are mostly by nature very good in doing mechanical and technical matters. Although, as always there are exceptions to every rule, there are some whose handwriting are neat and nice and are as artistic as girls.

i guess persons in general are the same there are also women who don't write properly. I am a woman and I also know some women who don't write well. The only thing that we failed to observe is that men are just taking things for granted. That's why they seem not well in writing as we generally observe. But the best in many ways comes from the male population.

Im sorry it was difficult for me to understand your paragraph. This sounds like a sexist thing to me, but spelling isnt the only thing that matters in English. Some times it can be your Grammar that needs work.

Maybe I should send you some of my messages and see it for yourself if I don't write properly. When it comes to penmanship my former employer was so freaking shock that a guy like me can have a very good penmanship writing. i got no clue as to why either women or men generalize each other for their own mistakes or short comings. unfortunately, there's no way you can every appreciate men if you keep looking at their short comings. but don't worry, I feel the same way with women most of the time. but not with their imperfections but with their perfections which can also be too intimidating for me sometimes.

I guess your notion applies to both sexes not only men or should I say most of your male friends.Writing your name is so easy, maybe some of them are just in hurry to write it without even checking if they have misspelled it. It do happens too here in mylot. Some have no time to proofread it first before posting later did they know after they have posted, that they have committed an error and most of the time in their spelling.I know there are lots of men and women here who are grammatically good with regards to writing and also in spelling but some didn't do it intentionally I guess.Thanks for sharing my friend.

I guess errors are committed sometimes due to the fact that most men are always in a hurry. But I don't think that they have intentions to spell it incorrectly or write words unreadable.

They say women are generally more linguistically gifted men and mathematically more. But are men and women such and such ... Perhaps this is also where no matter if they write SMS. There's always so funny abbreviations and I also know women who make mistakes since.

What is the point that talent? whether there is truly a talent? the answer is there. Talented people, will do something where he's talented, faster to be good with just a little practice

I do not see that it is especially men who do the spelling errors. I ,my self do not write properly all the time. I miss some letters here and there and I also do not write correct English grammar. However I'm a woman, who am aware of my errors. Generally I think we all do our errors and mistakes either we're men or women.

I think it is just the case of those men that you know. But yes, men are more comfortable in numbers compared to words. But still, I know a lot of men who are good writers and spellers. Please don't generalize. There are a lot of good men writers and novelists too. What are those men you know do for a living? Maybe they are engineers or number crunchers. If they are, then it is understandable that they do have a hard time in grammar. But I only say this because it is the usual notion, but I know a lot of number crunchers and engineers with very good writing skills.

I see about two people who probably haven't made a msitkae out of the approximately ten people who have commented. Maybe the 'wrong friends' are the people at myLot? So this means that it can't be just men, it's everyone. Anyway, everyone spells terribly on txt, because the whol point abot txt is tht we write quikly. Right? Anyway, I'm always fussy about capital letters. I don't know why.
