That's a tough one
Could you date someone with poor grammar?
I've been dating a wonderful, warm, caring man for five months. He has many positive qualities, enjoying cultural arts and dancing as much as I do. I care a lot about him. The problem is his poor grammar.

I might be able to accept bad grammar, but if a woman enjoyed non-cultural arts, that would be a deal-breaker.
Phil: Do you suppose she suffered from bad grammar herself? Or do you suppose fraud?
Peter: What's included in the non-cultural arts?

I dunno. I'm guessing maybe it's stuff like those 10-second Headline News stories about elephants and chimps painting pictures for charity.
Assuming the letter is real, I'd like to track this man down and tell him to run away, fast. A woman who wants to pick apart your grammar when you're dating will not ever get easier to live with.
Yeah, but I do see the point. Consistently terrible grammar is grating, just like public teeth sucking, nose picking and belching.
Phil, I think that's an excellent policy. Does anyone follow it that you know of?
I have to agree with Michael.
It can be somewhat grating, but if the guy is otherwise wonderful and the woman complains about that, then the woman is just looking for something to complain about.
I also agree with Phil, though. Many of these inquiries seem pretty contrived.
