I've grown a tolerance for spelling and grammar issues when it's due to ESL reasons. But, considering the type of service I provide as a Domme for safety and consent reasons, aside from minor errors, they have to be proficient enough to read and communicate clearly. But short form text speak tends to turn me off entirely from booking a client.

Hey bb r u avail?

It's more difficult for a person to proofread their own writing vs proofreading someone else's
It's true. When you read your own material, your brain is thinking of what you meant instead of what you actually wrote. However, I find if you read over your work some time later (like a few hours later, or even the next morning) you can catch some of the errors you otherwise missed.

It’s not so much spelling or grammar, but ones lexicon and diction that turns me off.

I mean you post ads with so many slang words, it sound more like you’re catering to high rolling ballers in some hip-hop music video fantasy.... and that’s really not my scene, I’ll just move on to the next ad.

Yup, and many of those ads don't contain important details either.

For me, spelling and grammar is something that I notice... but it’s more about context of the message. I’m not an English major myself and am prone to mistakes so who am I to judge? And I agree with Miss Hunter, it can be tricky to proofread your own writing. And if you are typing on a phone, it can be so easy for a typo to slip through.

That being said too many typos can be foreshadowing of things to come.

I think the way an ad is written speaks volumes about an SP's personality, service and attention to detail.

A well written ad that conveys intelligence and control is such a huge turn on. In many ways, even more than photos.

It honestly varies. I find it more frustrating when some SP'a flood their ad with paragraphs of details that aren't relevant to their rates, services, restrictions, location info, and so on than minor grammar mistakes.



An example of a horrible ad that offers no important info:

That assumes that she wrote it. Not all of them do their own ads. Ask me how I know.

I'm not an English major, but I always try to make sure my ad is well written and informative.

Does a poorly written headline, description, text or email influence your decision to see, or not see, a SP?

This includes poor grammar, misspellings, too many emojis or special characters (e.g. , , N££DPART¥, À§ş)

LOL - anyone remotely TRYING in this arena will out-shine 40-60% of all provider ads out there.

NEVER copy the exact text of your last ad.

MIX the photos up... (don't settle for any that are blurry, or which are not right-side-up)... casual selfies are good, because they 'update' your validity as a provider. (of COURSE you don't want your management visible via a reflection in the mirror behind your posted selfie) (NO paraphernalia on the sink, NO turds in the toilet bowl, and ideally no major background clutter either)


You don't have to serve up perfect English, but pay attention to your spelling and don't leave any obvious spelling errors there (it's OK if you don't know how to spell Coquitlam - and OK if I don't either...)


Remember... that back in high school, MAYbe only one girl would pay attention to us...

Here... we suddenly need various means through which to winnow-down the possibilities, and psychologically we really need that - the alternative is not knowing where to begin (and possibly not beginning )


Just don't make yourself an easy discard via your inattentiveness to your ads.

So the majority of respondents are claiming that they are booking SP's on the basis of their spelling skills? As I see it, some of the typos are made on purpose to avoid censorship. Some are written by individuals who are just learning english and might not have mastered our language. Others may be trying to appear playful or bimbo like on purpose.

From my perspective, if I were looking for a dinner date with a high class lady, followed by some great love making and intimacy I would be looking for someone with language skills and higher intelligence.
Absolutely, I love intelligent woman!

Now on the other hand, if I were looking for a pornstar experience with a sexpot who has a bimbo like appearance or is a Barbie doll, I am not going to check her spelling or would really care if she could carry an intelligent conversation.
Be honest and admit that in most situations you aren't checking the ads to get a sense of whether the girl went to College or Collage.

I don't care about spelling but an ad without photos is an ad I won't even bother trying to read. Skip it and go to the next.

... the set of respondents is limited to a literate subset of all clientele.


And as with anywhere in life, if you quickly weed-out stupid and disengaged you can make a lot of progress with little effort.

Spelling and grammar do not count when English is not the writer's first language. English spelling is impossible to write right. The advertiser's spell check might not function in their second language.

Having said that, I won't see someone whose written English is poor. Writing skills are even more important for a dominatrix or VIP advertisement.

Not too far
Spelling it is clearly a differentiator or at least completes the picture. Combined with the pics, the communication style, location, choice of words, services offered, time of the day and so one, spelling and grammar can turn me away or not. Impeccable spelling is rare when everything else is sketchy or raises red flags. The opposite is equally dubious - well written ads with good pics and bad spelling all over makes no sense either.
