  Leaving aside autocorrect failures; a reasonable attempt at spelling, punctuation and grammar. That is the standard I aspire to deliver. I try not to judge others on these points.

  Autocorrect etc aside, I overlook the grammar and spelling. I try not to judge however when every sentence includes profanity, one has to ask...

  Swearing when you're first getting to know someone is very poor judgement.. . Yes ' good manners in the initial stage in paramount in my mind ? Exception is of course is in the moment of passion when even the most disaplined have been known to lose it ? But in the initial stages ' watch your P's and Q's show respect and get to know the person your chatting with..

  Hmmmm, well I swear alot and it doesn't detract from my high level of respect and manners. Each their own with communication because what elicits a positive response in one person; wont necessarily work on the next. Be true to yourself.

  I guess swearing is an expression of your personality. Some people embrace it, others do not. If you elect not to swear and are turned off by it then it will help to weed out the people you do not want to converse with.

  We're similar to FFF, and it doesn't take anything away from our interactions with others. Part of the skill of socialising is reading your audience and adjusting accordingly. I'm definitely not saying that every second word is an f bomb, but any drunken evening with a bunch of swingers can be quite colourful! We definitely wouldn't include that sort of language in a message unless we knew it would go over ok after lots of interactions on the forum🤔

  I guess it's different strokes for different folks 🤣 Some are most comfortable using colourful language in general conversation and feel they can't express themselves properly if they are watching what they say... others choose other words and are more comfortable. Neither is right or wrong, but one is right for you. I had an ex, lovely genuine guy. Would do anything for me, But couldn't finish a sentence without dropping the f bomb. We didn't last long, not because he wasn't a good partner/ lover, but I felt really uncomfortable around him when he got in a colourful language mood. I guess there are always going to be people out there that do it don't match with what you need, easy enough being female on this site to say thanx but no thanx 🤷‍♀️

  Personally I’d rather get “hey how the fuck are ya?” than “hi” because at least it shows a bit of personality, it would be slightly risky but that’s better than being slightly dull. However if I got “hey, what the fuck’s up?” it’d be different again...it depends on how the word’s used I guess.

  can't see much difference there Phoenix. Still that makes us human but also highlights that its hard to read us individuals. Personally prefer a reasonably English based conversation. If l wanted a bogan based conversation, I'd hang around outside a construction site

  .. with the best specially with mates, so lm not calling the kettle black .. But l run a business and l need to communicate with all types ' mainly other business people and l have no issues curbing any language ' shows respect and good business sense. Different once that person becomes familiar and you got to know each other.. Someone above said just be yourself ? Well ' l believe l am .. it just depends which mode .. business , first time meet ' ... or private....

  Sawadee..... at the crux; its all one in the same. No pretense, no filters, just yourself. That's how I am in EVERY facet outside of my profession also.... people get offended or don't like my manner "face to face"....can simply fuck off. I wouldn't be offended if someone was that precious.
