I Am A Tolerant Person

I think that I am very tolerant. I can accept people as they are regardless of race, body type, physical appearance, mental or physical health, or age. I can accept people's interests and preferences just fine.

I just can't cope with textspeak or slang or urban language. I'm not even going to try to interpret any of those versions of communication. To those who think I'm being intolerant.. No. I have ocd and I need to be presented with business/formal English. If you want to use Old English (like Shakespeare), that's fine too. I have difficulty with typos, but I think I have good tolerance of them as long as they aren't my own. I'm not able to perform small talk very well, so I apologize.

Also, I don't understand cliches. If you tell me that you killed 2 birds with one stone, I'm just likely to think that you are heartless. I'm sure that there are dozens of cliches I haven't heard and won't be able to decipher.

Thank you. This sort of thing is a growing problem. I sincerely believe there should be some sort of notification in the avatar section (if and only if the user wants to use it) that can alert the reader to things like you express.

Then at least the reader can have some hope of communicating.
