Does it turn you off when you are looking for questions to answer, and the words are not even close to being spelled correctly?? Drives me nuts!

This is my pet peeve also. I don't mind a simple yes or no from time to time but some people type a single letter eg g or just some dots eg ...... this really is not fair to the people who type long answers. In fact a lot of my answers are very long as I try to help people and only twice have I ever reached my limit for answers as a result. (I reach the limit for questions all the time) Had I played like some people I could be at a much higher level long ago but I would be missing the point.

I really wish that Yahoo! Answers would add an automatic spell-check for outgoing answers and questions.  Then if people chose to disable it or ignore it, they would certainly deserve the chiding they receive here.

No: I notice everything, including grammar.  \n\n" Am I the only one who notices all the misspelled words?  And do they know of the 'Check spelling' button?  And am I the only one who seems bothered by this?"\n\nI am bothered, because it displays an inordinate amount of laziness in modern thinking; however, it probably stems from that insidious precept launched, I believe, in the 1960s, where parents brought up their children to express themselves freely, never mind how, leading to a lamentable lack of discipline in so many areas!\n\nGrumble, grumble ... but at least people are interested in all kinds of things, as we can see on this site - and learning from the answers!

Laziness..spell-checker and the internet... Enough said....\nIt's a pet-peave of mine too.. I don't expect perfect grammar, but I at least want to be able to understand what one is saying to me...I'm not a perfectionist, but let's get real...Nobody takes you seriously if you can't tell the difference between to, two and too...Geez! DRIVES ME CRAZY!!

it happens a lot. but what gets me is when i spell don't like this :" dont" and use spell check & the first option for correction is "dint" im like, i didnt even know dint was a freakin word.

I'm glad somebody else feels the same way I do.  One would assume that because this is a site to answer questions that people would phrase what they are asking in the form of a sentence asking a question, not a grammatically incorrect statement with a question mark at the end with most of the words spelled wrong!!!  One would also like to assume that anybody over the age of six knows how to spell the simple words that are spelled incorrectly in these people's questions.  Is it that hard to check spelling?????

Yessir.  my name is Keelan so everytime i type my name on a report i get the red line and it pisses me off so much.  but you know what pisses me off more.  when you mean to spell a word wrong and it auto corrects it for you so everytime you type the word it changes it back.

Thank you!  It drives me crazy too.  People also need to learn how to use their, they're, and there.  Than and then is also annoying.  My biggest pet peeve though is people who think orientated is a word.

On the other hand, if you want someone to help you,  the least you can do is ask an intelligible question - not expect them to wade through an inpenetrable paragraph of textspeak, poor grammer and mis-spelling first! It's in your own interest if you want assistance....

Don't be sorry...\nI think people don't care or they would use the spell check that Yahoo installed...\nI know it is very hard to read some questions and answers and I think it requires more effort to spell wrong than right, but I am not in my 20's any more and it seems like that is the new way to spell with shorter words and using less letters...\nI can't understand that because then people assume you are stupid and don't rely on your answers or your advice...\nWhat's so hard about spell check folks???\nIt only takes a second to check your work...

One of my pet peeves is quite similar to yours. It irritates me so much when internet communication is so poorly written. I don't understand why everyone thinks that no punctuation, improper grammar & bad spelling are the norm for communication. Are there that many completely illiterate people in this world or are they all just too lazy to correct themselves before clicking "send" or "submit"?!?!?!

i get them too! it's annoying! you try to filter the subject, and they change some letters around. Like "i" is "1" or "a" is "@". Crazy stuff! I done a pretty good job of delivering most of the spam mail into trash using filters. I just look for common words in each subject like free or complimentary.

Fascinating dialect you have there...\n\n(yes - I get a bit annoyed when people spell the way they speak, but hey...what can you expect when teachers aren't allowed to correct their spelling? Might hurt the little dears' egos...)

Why is it that in your other questions mostly everything is spelled correctly and grammatically correct.  But suddenly you turned into ghetto trash with senseless sentence fragments spelled in the degenerate language of Ebonics?

Actually, the occasional 'u' does not bother me. It's when they use these contractions for *every single word* in a sentence. Now that is annoying. I dont even bother with those questions, i simply am not going to take my time to translate what you wrote, when it can be spent more effectively somewhere else. \n\nDoesn't it take more effort to construct a "sentence" like that, than just writing the whole thing out properly?\n\nI think that those people are just trying *too* hard to look, i dont know - cool to their friends? cool to eveyone else? to look like they're internet wizzes?

Get off your high horse...this is a forum for anyone who wants to participate in it, not just for smart people who proofread.  Misspelled words aren't necessarily a sign of poor education as much as laziness (not to suggest that laziness is any better).  Just get over it.
