After reading so many questions, I just wanted to know why most people on here talk like they have never been to school?  I know this is just irrelevant to the Friends section, but I'm sure others have noticed this as well.  Many people ask so many questions that are insanely hard to understand and read, let alone actually be able to give a helpful answer.

Some people lack the ability to ask intelligent questions.  Furthermore, they don't know how or are too lazy to provide intelligent answers, to many of the tough questions posted here.  Notice all the one word answers... they only want the 2 points.

Its not that it was a bad question or anything like that.  If you look to see how many questions are in here you will quickly see that the questions change by the minute so its just possible that it was overlooked.  Also, time of day has a lot to do w/ it.  If you want a question answered by kids, ask it when you know a lot of kids are likely to be online and the same goes for intelligent adults.  I personally didnt see it myself.  Im on here a lot due to being on disability.

I agree. This should be like a living encyclopedia, where people contribute their knowledge, but it isn't. There are a whole load of questions that should not be allowed. Here are some types that I have been daft enought to answer within the last week:-\n1 Too lazy to do own homework e.g. "Visit a Maxican community and write your observation? why do like this community?"\n2. Jokes e.g. "Clairvoyants: I would like to send you a cheque for £1,000. Could you please mail your name and address to me?"\n3. Too lazy to do an internet search e.g. "Does anyone know anything about Christine De Pisan?"\n4. Impossible to know e.g. "How many people own alarm clocks in the U.S.?"\n5. Inadequate detail e.g. "Is there an underground tunnel at excelsior high school?"\n6. Feedback grumbles e.g. "Thanks for the answer on Irish Clubs!! I am english - my husband is irish thankyou.We socialise with ALL!!?"\n7. Useless trivia e.g. "What is the correct Ibo/Igbo translation of, 'Throw him'?"\n8. Self-publicism e.g. Does anyone know who jonathon c mclachlan is?\n\nSometimes a member of the Answers Team bothers to read some of the postings. I just hope that one of them reads this, and comes up with a suggestion for improving Yahoo! Answers.

Thank you! This is very important, and people need to know that others are not mind readers. We need clarification to help you, and the way Yahoo! Answers is set up, you can't contact anyone who answers your questions with a question.

Actually, I don't sit around all day and answer questions - many times I review what has been answered and I try to find questions that I might want to have answered.  It really depends upon how one uses this forum - it could be quite an educational tool.\nThere are all kinds of people responding to questions and I've seen some professionals give their advice freely so there is a chance for almost every aspect here.

Brett - I looked at your other question and I can tell you exactly why you got the answers you did.\n\nYou failed to say when you asked the question that you have dyslexia. As a result, people took your question as an attack upon people with dyslexia. If you had explained why you wanted that question answered I suspect you would have received a much more sympathetic response.\n\nJust as a matter of interest - why DID you ask the question when you are in a far better position to answer than most of us?\n\nBy the way - don't panic about the text messages. I have a friend who is extremely dyslexic and she texts all the time - it may take me a while to decipher, but I get there in the end. I figure that as she has dyslexia and I don't, it's up to me to figure it out. My partner and son are also dyslexic and it doesn't stop them texting either. The only thing that stops my son is lack of credit.

Why do people lie here?  Any one here can view other posters Q&A.  I personally try to read a persons previous Q&A before I answer a question.  I have found that some are at best inconsitant.  Why?

Well, most of the answers are sort of discussion, personal opinion and more of an advice. But but but, if you see the Serious sections on Computer Science, Physics, chemistry, you would find really good and to the point answers. This is a forum for seeking opinions  and help. Unfortunately, since its craze has just started, most of the people are just putting stupid/ irrelevent questions and the same for answers just to get some points. People do grow up after a week on this network, asking more mature questions and replying better quality answers. The recent change in scoring pattern by Yahoo has definitely discouraged this 'irrelevent' scam questions and answers. Take my word, wait for a month, by the time it would become a big knowledge bank. However, if you have some serious questions, post on Google groups and you would find really good and precise answers.

I havent been here long but a lot of teh answers that I have seen are really rude! there isnt a reason for it, even if you do ask a really stupid question you dont have to be a COMPLETE jerk about it, a little sarcastic maybe but not out and out rude... I agree with the idea that Yahoo didnt want this to turn into a chat room/message board. They kinda wnat it to be a massive think-tank, I think...

it depends on the person as to which subject to discuss.  some people just get on here to waste time and ask pointless questions for the heck of it. others are seroius about what they ask and need serious answers.  i still dont understand why there are still those that put stupid remarks like "i dont know" for answers to important questions. it frusterates me but what can you do?

I'm with you on that.  I have posted some serious questions before and they're not even been looked at, but give someone a fun, weird, stupid question and everyone is all over it.  There has to be some people out there like you and me that do go to the trouble of answering the unique/real questions.  It's not all just about points people it's about helping out your fellow friends.  Make someone's day and actually answer something you wouldn't normally answer and do some research on it and you just might make someone's day or help them make a life style change.  Get to it....

Keep in mind, there are a lot of young kids and teenagers on here that mostly have the spelling errors and the weird slang. That's probably what you are seeing on here lately. You are right, though, it's hard to answer a question when somebody messes up most of their spelling or they use nothing but slang. It's nothing against anybody, and I like giving advice, but if people are serious about getting answers to  their questions, they would at least respect other fellow answerer's by using the "Check Spelling" option.

I have the same concerns and not just here in Yahoo Answers.  Certainly we all make mistakes in spelling from time to time. We sometimes transpose words and letters.  Some here obviously do not have a familiarity with English due to culture or age.  I do not believe that it is just a matter of this being an informal format.  Part of being in this Yahoo Answers is to communication with others.  \n\nThe numbers of questions which I have seen asked that are simply not clear is astounding.  It’s not a matter of just misspelling or using the shorthand methodology of writing, these are bad enough on their own, but the inability to structure a clear sentence is as startling as a bright sunset.  To me this represents either a lack of education or a disrespect for the people who attempt to read these questions.  More over, the answers often follow the same pattern of inability to communicate.  \n\nIf we were all together in a room we would have additional tools to facilitate clear communication, such as tonal inflection, facial expression, body language, the context of a specific subject under discussion and possibly even knowledge of those speaking.  All of this contributes to clear communication. \n\nHere in Yahoo Answers (as with nearly all internet exchanges) we are limited to the written language.  Maybe the use of the term “limited” is in error because the English language is a strong and vigorous tool to accomplish communication, if and when we use it.\n\nNothing is unusual with groups who develop a language variation centered around their association.  Those in the computer field do it as do those in the medical field or the police field or those in mathematics or those of specific geographical areas and many other fields, but when they talk with or write for the general public they use standard English. \n\nOf course it maybe simply a matter of education.  I believe few learn the art of parsing a sentence or the ability to comprehend the reading of classical literature, or any literature for that matter and that seems to extend into comprehending current writings.  For all of the technical advances in our times literacy seems to be decreasing and comprehension seems to be dropping along with it.  In the source link here one can find the Eighth Grade Graduation Test for Salinas, Kansas 1895.  I think even today’s teachers would find it challenging.  For fun, go there and try only the Grammar section.

Not typing their answers clearly and making sure their question is actually READABLE, and understandable.\nI have skipped MANY question, simply because it's not clear what the questionis even about!\nIf they just took the time to think about and read their questions before they post them, to make sure others will understand it, I'm sure there'd be a LOT more replies.

I agree whole-heartedly. This has been bugging me quite a bit. What bothers me even more is that people have such horrific spelling and grammar to begin with. I'm assuming that most of the people who post on this website are at least 13 or older. People of that age should be capable of expressing themselves clearly and intelligently.
