 ID: 189228 Posts: 294 | Date: 2007-04-10 10:30 Maybe I'm just not doing it right but.
Is it normal for photographers in this business to correspond in Internet speak
and general miss spelled words..?
Makes me wonder if it's really a 12 year old behind that camera.
Who do these people think they are.  Everything I've done, and all that I have yet to do, is only to forget the meaning of your name. |

 ID: 160909 Posts: 572 | Date: 2007-04-10 10:45 Well, I can type something very quick in forums, chats and sometimes do mistakes
or even miss words and generally I think it is ok because interactive
communication sometimes should be fast.
But if this is business correspondence - I am sorry - but this is not serious,
this is awful.  ...for me, at least. It means that this person don't have
enough time for you... and so on.
Also, English is not my native language, when I speak (write, type) in Russian,
even during a rough chat I do not do mistakes and check twice before post.I am still here |

It is becomming more and more common for models to use text speak and for this
to be considered a valid means of communication. It is less for the saving on
typing than for the appearance of being with it.
I can only imagine that the photographers who to this are trying to appear
trendy too or else don't take themselves seriously.
I do tend to equate over use of text speak or slang (tog anyone?) with attitude,
because this has been borne out by experience. Like everything, it is possible
to over generalise, but we all need rules of thumb  ***** Spring approaches and soon the fairies will awaken ***** |

ID: 160909 Posts: 572 | Date: 2007-04-10 11:01 But if business correspondence is e-mails, you have a lot of time to check your
spelling.
Though this is my opinion.
About chating, I can't say nothing bad. Less for the saving on typing ... - I
agree. I am still here |

Not really. The computer should be doing that all the time. I am currently
typing in Firefox and it spell checks as I type. The same thing happens in
Safari ***** Spring approaches and soon the fairies will awaken ***** |

 ID: 183878 Posts: 1174 | Date: 2007-04-10 16:26 We saw that when people began putting poetry in the "Various" section, it was
generally better done than their messages.
I'll admit, it's hard for me to not correct a message. But I will make slips
from time to time and let one through.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!

PST> YOU can't spell check slang or play on words...Just a thought...That's
why some Humorists won't use The Check 'Book' Balance Method of Spelling...Only
is an issue for those who want to read the 'red' debt.
Slip slidin' away...You know the more ya near the destination, the more
manifestation of
human tendancies shines through...Take a look at the Person, not their
mistakes:>
Pro OR NO Pro>>>I'll play the  ...Love ya for trying, and rather hear from ya
before YOU were PERFECTLY DEAD on the thread, & couldn't send the message!!!
Better to be imperfectly=> ALIVE!!!
Same goes with everybody ...at one POINT ...Whether mistakes appear here, or elsewhere.
Sometimes you don't want to wait to be "PERFECT" [LOOK AT PRINT IN NEWSPAPERS,
for EX.], but would rather respond...Or receive, even if it isn't Grammatically
Grandiloquent & Perfunctorily Phonically Fonted!
NATURAL without Spell Checking is 'untouched' & bears its own signet, at least
YOU know it's genuine!...&, No One should be condemned for that!
That's Sheer Snit picking!!!
Professional's have written me & missed the mark, so who GIVES A RIP?>
I'd rather HEAR them type FRIENDSHIP, anyday, than listen to. . .
Only biddies in the BOX!!!

 ID: 182203 Posts: 201 | Date: 2007-04-10 23:13 Hmm.. never thought it would be an issue.. that's why i don't really check my
spelling.. even when i'm not so sure. I mean in forum like this.. and i'll
continue that unless advised otherwise. That's if the issue is just on the
spelling. But if it covers the talk nonsense.. yes you may wonder if its a 12
year old behind the camera. Or even if he/she is 32 years old.. he/she might
only have 2 years experience.. like me (1 1/2 actually.. that's the reason i
always highlight.. 'my opinion'). Nevertheless, i do agree with Sassy.. that
this is a forum.. should one have anything in mind.. one should spit it out.
True or not.. let readers value. |

 ID: 185806 Posts: 411 | Date: 2007-04-11 07:54 After a series of communications and the development of some form of
relationship maybe then the whole textspeak would be alright but for the first
contact god no. I've seen some very dodgy looking e-mails sent out to models
before, they carry no proper line of conversation, give no real explanation as
to what the photographer/scout are actually contacting you for and the initial
reaction is like whats the point of contacting this person back. Personally
unless I know the person e-mails have to be written properly.We Don't Take Risks to Escape Life!!

ID: 183878 Posts: 1174 | Date: 2007-04-11 12:31 Actually, speed reading hinges on much the same thing: A first letter and length
of word followed by another identifiable in the same fashion and so on, allows
the mind to jump to the (usually) correct conclusion regarding what the
sentence, paragraph or lines of text mean. Same then with blocks of prints.

| Date: 2007-04-12 20:13 I obviously can't speak for the anyone on this site, but most pro's that I know
usually don't talk like twelve year olds in person or on the net, funny about
that, eh?
If a person is too lazy to do something as basic as check their spelling so they
don't look like a dimwit, then I wouldn't be too much interested in much else
they do, it's a good point to take note of when trying to interest potential
collaborators. |

ID: 189228 Posts: 294 | Date: 2007-04-14 12:30 Thanks for all the replies. I have not been here in few days or so and forgot
about the thread.
I was referring to first encounters and business convos. yes.
I personally do not find internet speak to be acceptable, or appropriate in the
slightest! Under those conditions.
If your in a forum, or talking on instant messenger to a friend, then that's
fine. I usually feel no need to do it as I'm quiet the typist, unless I'm
fooling around with a friend or typing one handed on my SK. There has been
several occasions (not necessarily here) where someone made a post with no
grammar, no capitalization and mostly in net speak. Typically I won't even other
to post a reply to those people, just my thing.
Yana: Your English is very good. Much better then any of my 2nd or 3rd
languages. >_<
Anthony: I love those! It's actually scary however, they did a study and found
that only a very small number of people can read text like that.
But, seeing how reading works in general I find it hard for a person not to be
able to read it. We do not read letter for letter, the eye jumps in leaps and
bounds, and our head (our knowledge of said language) fills in the gaps to make
it readable and understandable.
For the record, I had 4 miss-spellings in this post. Everything I've done, and all that I have yet to do, is only to forget the meaning of your name. |

 ID: 191761 Posts: 22 | Date: 2007-04-26 12:08 I can't stand internet speak when you're corresponding with people. If you want
someone to work for you or vice versa, I would make every attempt to set myself
apart from the rest. There's a point where you should be comfortable with the
photographer to speak casually and informally, but not to the point where
correspondence deteriorates to AIM speak.
I personally, don't want to work with people who contact me with 'lol',
misspelled words, or who just speak like they're are 12. To me it demonstrates
insincerity, and a lack of respect not only for my work and photography, but to
themselves.
People should have pride in who they are, and should take their jobs and their
hobbies, seriously enough to hold their head up and conduct themselves in an
appropriate manner.
