A serious question

How annoying is when a person who does not speak English makes typos?

It's much more annoying when a native speaker makes mistakes. It shows me that they haven't read a lot in their lives.

As far as non-native speakers making mistakes, this board has made me much more patient about that. When I first started reading FO message boards, the small little syntax errors and the like used to make me nuts....there is a popular thread that has been up on the board for a while now entitled "What are the biggest tits you'd like to titfuck."

That is not a well-phrased question, but I get that it was probably written by a non-native English speaker, so now....not as big of a deal as it might have otherwise been.

It doesn't annoy me as much as assholes starting troll threads like this. Fuck off, assari.
 
It doesn't matter how bad a non-native person types or speaks in English as most people in English speaking countries can't speak/type anymore than a sentence or word in any other language.

If I had to learn to type or speak in German, Italian, French or any other language I'd be no better than them....in fact I'd probably be worse.

Vad are you talking om?
 
To answer your question seriously : I don't care if a non-native English speaker makes spelling or grammatical errors, as long as :

a) the meaning remains clear ;
b) they aren't just talking complete bollocks.

Hardly anyone can or wants to speak German.
