I talked about this breefly in an annoucment post for staff applications, but a lot of people online (not even just on here) don't know how to do things like spell simple words, form a sentence let ALONE a paragraph, or what letter sound like (like, how to sound out letters. i.e. g makes a ''guh'' sound). my issue isn't with occasional typos, auto-correct changing words in a sentence, improper caps in informal posts or no periods at the end of a sentence, or shorthand like gtg, fml, pmo, idk and so on and so forth. I use shorthand, I don't punctuate my sentences all the time, and I don't normally use proper caps unless i'm doing a formal/professional post and i'm human, I make typos like spelling errors and my auto-correct doesn't usually work, but when it does, it always messes up what I wrote by changing my words after i've written them as it is likely AI that doesn't understand context. but what upsets me is when I get DMs of people who need my help and I cannot read it. I get DMs like "yu r hut ei wnna dade yu" or " u dum as uld eve his abb nw an u r een nd mi hete u" and it takes me a long time to decifer the meaning of them. some people who send me messages are legal adults too (as in, 18+) and sure, they could be little kids lying about their age, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were in fact, young adults. and you know what? i do not give a flying [censored] about wether or not public school failed them, and sure I do pitty them, but I was what would be considored ''unschooled". I taught myself to read. I taught myself everything. I had no teacher. if you are a grown adult you need to just teach yourself. put in the effort and learn. if a 7 year old me figured it out, a grown adult with even just a switch and an internet connection can. there's lots and lots of online resources to choose from. hell, even just YouTube access can help. if you can't read or spell, even if you're an adult there's no excuse, you need to learn how to read and write, chat gpt can write your loved one's text messages you can send, and you can have it read the response to you, but is it really the same? it's not. and i'll do some research later to post a post with lots of links to resources to help people learn how to read and write. remember, it's never too late to learn and there will come a day when you'll need to read and write.
@Yanderemenhera it's not even that public school failed them they either are homeschooled or never cared to learn or don't care and type how they want

Yeah, that's something that's pissed me off. I'm always gonna take issues like dyslexia into account, but like- otherwise just learn mate </3

I think dyslexia makes reading things more difficult depending on how it's written. like some fonts are easier to read than others. I have a hard time reading cursive for example (I can, but it's difficult) or like, "l1k3 th1$" typing qiruk thingy, but reading the BNS font is easy, I think for dyslexics the issue isn't that they can't read, it's an issue of font and word size. though i'm not an expert and I could've been misdaignosed or whatever, idrk.

a teacher who was handling my GED work told me that a girl was able to finish highschool and go off to college with a second grade reading level, she couldn't do the college level work bc of it. I think that's why my GED teacher met her, so she could go back to get GED schooling so she could hopefully actually do college work

@Aries I agree my point on it is it's there own life if they know how and choose not to use it that's fine I sometimes do the same if they don't know how to do it and don't care or want to learn there fine to lol
