spelling mistakes

[gaydemon]

Had a interesting email and similar to some comments I’ve seen on my blog before.



I like your site and really enjoy the pictures. I am definitely a butt fan!

It would help if you spell-checked the text before posting. Misspelling detracts from the otherwise good quality of the blog.


So there you go, people do care and notice how you spell. I've always had a feeling bad spelling or grammar is bad for sales and actually can distract surfers. (Unfortunately for me I'm bad at spelling..)

All I can say, is thank God for spell checkers. No I hardly get any paper cuts from flipping through the dictionary whistle

I do think spelling helps, and it does matter to some, but I also think that they happen, and well, you can't catch 'em all. I've seen common mistakes in many big time publications too.

being able to spell is a thing of the past..

i dont know how it is in other countries but where i am from spelling isnt something that people worry about anymore, hell even the big newspapers are filled with sloppy spelling, bad translations and lousy articles etc...

I agree, but this isn’t the first complaint I've had. People do find it a turnoff with spelling mistakes in porn, i guess depending on the mistake it can really just turn you off big time.

But yes, spelling is a thing of the past unfortunately. Same here in the UK.

Misspelled words can break you out of your fantasy.
I've noticed in reading novels that the editing process isn't quite what it used to be. When you are reading fantasy of any kind you are suspending your reality and entering another (if it is good). Errors in grammar and spelling can pull you out of the fantasy - your conscious or unconscious mind picks up on the problem and it creates a twitch... usually strong enough to break the spell.

If you really consider yourself a marketer, then you know the power of words and structure. Spelling is right up their in importance.

i'm quite a grammar nazi(and i use that word with care). i hate misspelled words and bad grammar.

in another life i was a university prof(in biz studies) and I used to reserve 5% of the mark for grammar etc. My rationale was simple. If you couldn't communicate properly why should a bank lend money or accept your proposal etc. Needless to say my students hated it.

East European sites and their tgp galleries etc. drive me absolutely bonkers.

In terms of porn, Maryflixxx is quite right. The wrong word, phrase etc can be quite jarring at times.

but that's just me.
