No need to do it silently, Mike. I'm happy to take criticism (or to debate). I suspect you'd win the debate though.

That joke is cute, but inaccurate. "Isu" (chair), "kougan" (testicles) and "kintama" (balls) are by no means homonyms.

 

And yes, I'm just showing off.

A+ :)

 

Would the 'testicles' danger lurk in any Chinese dialect?

Not at all. For me, if he has the body & looks I like, a masculine demeanor, and does what I need at least competently, he could be as dumb as a brick. I don't care at all.

I like a well written ad but if he's having problems stringing the correct words together and spelling, I give him a pass. He doesn't have to spell anything for what I need him for LOL.

Now you have me picturing the great physicists in escort ads...

Zip. I was reading Schopenhauer last night. Zip. And I think that Schopenhauer was right.

First, I sincerely doubt that anyone is cruising escort sites in search of Rhodes Scholarship candidates or a reader for one's own dissertation. In other words, why would this matter? Second, one cannot infer anything about "intellectual deficiency" (or, for that matter, intellectual proficiency) solely from an escort ad. I will admit that I have often found poor grammar and so forth to be distracting in an ad, but inferences about intelligence can be just dead wrong.

Second, one cannot infer anything about "intellectual deficiency" (or, for that matter, intellectual proficiency) solely from an escort ad. I will admit that I have often found poor grammar and so forth to be distracting in an ad, but inferences about intelligence can be just dead wrong. An example: Over ten years ago, I found an ad by an escort that was perfect in terms of photos, stats, interests, activities, reviews... but it was rife with incorrect grammar and typos. I went ahead and booked an appointment with him, and have never been happier. He was everything that I wanted, and needed at the time. Being a very self-disclosing type, it turned out that English was his THIRD language (actually tied for third with another language; i.e., total languages = four). Fortunately, we overlap in one non-English language and were able to communicate flawlessly over the years and even after his retirement from escorting. To this day, his written English has remained rough, but since he is now a medical doctor practicing in a country and setting where he uses his first two languages on a daily basis, this is not a problem for him. Intellectual deficiency? Ha!

 

It's usually apparent if typos/grammatical/spelling errors are due to infamiliarity with the language. Of course, I'm going to make a big allowance for somebody writing in a language other than his native language.

I would agree that it is sometimes obvious when agrammatic posts are likely attributable to unfamiliarity with English. But, my point about the original post remains that one should not (and cannot) draw conclusions about a lad's intellect based on a brief post.
