Hey guys,

So I've met someone new. I am attracted to him physically and we seem to have a lot of things in common. I am really digging his vibe and I can totally see us hooking up soon.

One thing that has been a turn off for me is mistakes in grammar. I'm kind of a nerd so I pick up on these things fairly quickly.

For example: He says, "what you're doing?" instead of "what ARE you doing?" I have noticed that a lot of people do this and I am sometimes too quick to judge. It's not cool of me to do that. It irks me every time he does it though so I feel like I should just say something.

Would it be very rude of me to correct him? Can it be done nicely?

Thanks in advance.

Don't do it. It is rude and he'll most likely be offended.

Lol girl.....

Do what you want, but did you really need to post about it though? That's pretty minor. Just being honest.

Not an ISSUE, but a thought. Is there a problem?

I find it annoying, too, if my grammar/spelling is better than someone's who was born here. As an American, you should know the difference between "your" and "you're" (most common mistake I see). I also don't like "cuz" and "whut up" and other variations of butchering the English language. My English is not great by all means, but if I can even spot your 1st grader mistakes, it must be pretty bad.


It is not a real issue but it makes you look not very smart = turn off.
