One of the 'joys' (sarcasm alert) of reading forum posts, profiles and updates is seeing how people frequently confuse the basics of written expression.
So I can stop tearing out my hair any further I thought I'd share some wisdom.
The generally accepted term for an adult female is woman. That's singular. It's what you want to be like, or go out as or even be thought of as. A woman.
Should there be more than one of these creatures, then the term to use is women. That's the plural form. You want to be like other women, you admire women, we are all women.
Finally, young women are girls and young men are boys.
For the rest, just use what you were taught in school. It's mostly still valid!
As someone who does a bit of professional editing, it sometimes takes all my willpower not to get worked up about spelling and grammar issues, to be honest. Many, many years ago I decided my personal threshold for online communication was: can we communicate? Do I understand what you mean to say, even if your post took the English language out back into a dark alley and beat it into a bloody pulp? If so, I'll generally avoid commenting on typos, grammar issues, spelling mistakes (including the ones you mention, Jane), and so on. I may cringe a little, or even cry inside. But as long as I understand the intent, most of the time I'll let it slide.
One irony I've found is that non-native English speakers will often say something like, "Please forgive me, English isn't my first language." Yet, they're communication skills are often way better than many native speakers. 😉
i am not either into proper language or spelling. if you can read though the type os then you can read the miss spelled word or know what that word is just by reading though the message. woman and women are 2 different meanings but we know what we all mean when we read a message. when i say i want to dress up as a female oops do i mean woman, but we know its the same meaning when read. we are not in school any more and we all can read mispelled words unless you take your time to do spell correct
