Kind of offensive.

[Love Zhaoying]

This thread reminds me of trips to Mexico in the 1980's.

I saw People lined up to pay and dictate to someone, who would type their message on a manual typewriter.

The typist would sit on the sidewalk in a chair, with their manual typewriter on a small portable stand.

That same scene could have been straight out of any year since the manual typewriter was invented.

1. The few people I've met in RL who could not read, explained that they had undiagnosed dyslexia as a child.  So, it was truly a disability for them.

From that point of view, yeah. Ableism.

2. Taking this thread from a more serious "what could it have to do with the Forum" viewpoint:  probably many on the Forum who seem to have very poor writing skills are either not "English as a First Language", or are disadvantaged in some other way. 

So, yeah - now that you mention it.

There are plenty of folks on the forums that can read and write properly, when they want to, but many of their posts will indicate that they don't bother to put the effort out very often.

Is it for ants?

[Bree Giffen]

All of you seem to be able to read so that's good to see.

Peut-être qu'ils ne sont pas doués pour écrire en anglais, mais maîtrisent-ils d'autres langues?

Êtes-vous multilingue? Dans quelle mesure seriez-vous performant sur un forum néerlandais ou français ?

I could be wrong, but i am pretty sure this is a joke.

Exactly one of my points earlier, Scylla!

I had to use Google Translate this to make sure I wasn't missing out on an indecent proposition, i.e. "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?".

When we can't tell, they're doing it wrong!

that depends if no one can tell it's an issue, if only some can't tell it might just be over their heads.
