Hi funsters , why are the males so poor at spelling ? is it because they are lazy ? or is it because the females took more notice at school ? or did the females have a better edukatshun ?...

Not sure I agree with your basic premise, neither I suspect, would Dr Johnson have supported you.

At the risk of annoying all female navigators (there is some gender stereo-typing for you) I am reminded of a book I read a few years ago called:
"Why men don't listen and women can't read maps".

The book contains some genuinely interesting insights into gender differences, based on research. It is worth reading.

Thank you funsters for your replyies so far ,,, it has now been put to me privately that men don t need to spell well because they are very good talkers !! females however being able to deal with two matters at the same time!!!!! , are able to talk and spell !!! sugesting here that they are inclined to be quite a lot brighter !!than the men!!!

Now this is interesting. The book I referred to above explains a basic difference in the brain processes of males and females. This results in women being programmed to 'multi-task' to use that awful modernism) whereas males tend to be much more focused on an outcome. I think it's to do with a primeval need for men hunt and kill prey. Whilst this appears to equip women well for life today, the downside is that they tend to trade off 'spatial awareness' for multi-tasking. Hence the reference "why women can't read maps'.

This probably explains why women tend to require constant conversation and audio-visual stimulation, whereas a bloke is quite happy to lie under the motorhome with a spanner for hours on end, pondering the size of his chassis and running gear.

A reason postulated for the differences in brain process is that early brain development in the male foetus occurs at a time when high levels of testosterone are sloshing about in the mother's womb. Female brains develop at a time when testosterone levels are lower.

Get the book - it won't help with map-reading, but it will provide a lot of material for arguments between the sexes.

Ooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!

This is a very sensitive subject which i raised back in August.

MB Spelling!!!!

Raising the subject you are risking the wrath of the feminist 'movement' on here (membership of two), who will undoubtedly go on the defensive with the usual psycho babble about 'dyslexia' and 'special needs education'.

In answer to your question though, it's not just men who are poor at spelling.......some women also are not very good!. Basically it's sheer idleness as today anyone who isn't particularly good with spelling, does have the facility to use spell checker on a PC.....but idleness means they won't bother!
