Do you consider grammar and education when looking for a mate?

[thiswine41]

Same thing about what Hodizzle said about grammar.

Anyway, about education; I do care a lot about it. I wanted a partner that would work with me, not a person to feed. I'm not being THAT literal.

I'm not that rich to feed another person on my own. So yeah.

I personally do grammar as in no one with a Texan or Southern accent

And I do care about education if they aren't educated, then I think a lot of conversations would get boring or when I ask them to do something they might not know how

I will kill you.

Yeah, it's important. I don't want to waste my time with ignorant retards who don't know or try to learn the difference between 'your' and 'you're', intellectual stimulation is an important factor in a relationship. My boyfriend is dyslexic and I feel bad having to proof read his essays, but in general he is very smart and knowledgable and can make me feel stupid quite easily.

I personally think grammar and education means EVERYTHING in a good working relationship. My girlfriend sometimes makes mistakes in her grammar over MSN and I am always determined to help her out with it. She thinks I am just boasting about it but I think that if there is something I can learn someone I should and that it will pay off in her education.

She is also in a college right now, I would sometimes help her out with her maths homework and she would always be interested in how I explained things, its a win win situation. By teaching her stuff, I get the chance to review it for myself as well, and it builds a strong relationship.

That's kinda harsh. The whole "your/you're" thing is a pretty easy mistake, unless your speaking of a situation where one is told they made that mistake and still doesn't understand it. And "ignorant retard" is kind of an oxymoron.

I'm sorry, but if that's your main bonding point in a relationship, you have some issues 0.o

Ah, but you see, its not. I just think it's important that you can teach each other stuff. Cause as long as there's something to learn, you can keep communicating.

Well, it was just an example of one of many such contributing factors. Plus, that shit gets taught repeatedly throughout school. I listened, what's their excuse?

Well at first I thought that if my boyfriend had AT LEAST graduated from high school, id be happy. But now I have a boyfriend who graduated...and now isnt doing ANY thing wit his life, and really isnt going anywhere.
So now, id really like my bf to go to any kind of schooling after high school. So now im really pushing my bf to go to college....he might be going to the same college as me next year.

You should have plenty to communicate about though, and there are plenty of other things to teach each other not dealing with school subjects.

Because you're not always conscientiously reviewing what you're typing/writing. I occasionally type "u" instead of "you", because I use shorthand when text messaging. Obviously I don't think "u" is the correct word, I just didn't realize I had said it.

Now once again, if you mean to say one is an "ignorant retard" (ignorant means they are uneducated, retard means they have severe difficulty learning) when they are made aware of this mistake and still don't acknowledge it, you sort of have a point.
