In the age of IM's and SMS texts, the youth of America seems to have adopted a "but you know what I mean" attitude on the topic, which I find disturbing, as well.\n\nFor those folks who throw their hands up in the air, and announce that they are "just bad spallars (sic)", please do the rest of us a favor and click the Check Spelling button pre-submission.\n\nI agree with you so very much.\n\nDo any of you remember Ray Bradbury's FARENHEIT 451 ?  It asserts that since we do all of our logical thinking in words, that limiting the vocabulary of the masses could, in turn limit their thinking.  It's interesting to see that the most unclear thinking seems to be posted in the most dubious syntax most of the time.

I find it frustrating to understand people sometimes.  I wish they would use less shortcuts like b4 and actually spell out the word.\n\nAlso people wHo TyPe LiKe ThIs should be removed immediately!!!

I think it's an example of everyone's growing laziness. I'm sure that I'm not the only who's noticing an epidemic of doing the minimum, not just with spelling. Especially with kids, though adults are also at fault, there is the rush to do the the smallest amount of required work in the smallest amount of time. And spelling is one of the places where it's worst. Most sites that I surf for info are published and spell checked, but forums drive me nuts. They're a great way to get answers, but I get pissed off because some many people have so many useful things to say, but their spelling is terrible. It's not too hard to decode some basic mistakes, but there are many large errors that compromise the meaning of a sentence (or should I say fragment).\nI find it very, very, annoying, but I don't see anything that can be done about it. Apparently the auto spell check that places a squiggly line under misspelled words and obvious check spelling button aren't enough. But at least there still are some who use the built-in spell check features.

Lol u are right it drives me round the bend people have ago at my spelling sometime, but I can't help it coz I'm dyslexic, some peoples first language is English to and there is no spell check there. I dunno how they don't notice that. Sometimes I do type my questions in Microsoft word do a spell check and copy and past it, but sometimes I can't be bothered with that.

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.

Shame on some of your answers to this question! He/she asked a good question. So! one word was misspelled,  Remember ! what goe's around, comes around! I'm sure we have all misspelled a word from time to time. .....deckape, here is my answer ---This is the most constructive thing I've done all day, and thank you for giving me something constructive to do, before the day ends.  Now, I'd like to constrict a few necks, belonging to the answers on here!!!

Because nobody cares. A lot of people aren't serious, for one thing.  And the terrible shortened spelling and grammar of text messaging is getting carried over to the net.\nI guess some people don't understand that it makes a terrible impression when every word is spelled incorrectly and what's written barely makes sense.  One minor mistake isn't what I mean-it's the questions and answers that are barely in English. Soon there will be a new dialet of English--Weblish.\nI don't understand why people can't take pride in their written correspondence. I even spell check my emails, and people laugh at me for it.\nAlso I have a feeling there's a lot of young kids on here whose grammar isn't good to begin with.

Some get too damn lazy to spell correctly and/or to type in complete words. \nSome are just that dumb and don't want to learn.\nSome of these people's primary language is not english... like me, yet, I know how to spell and I know the differences between your, you're, they're, their, its, it's, etc. AND, it's a pet peeve to see how many people missuse (sp?) those.\n\nHey, at least I know I might have misspelled that and I care enough to question myself :oP

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?

I am glad there are still people thinking like you, I agree, it is irritating. I don't even go into a chatroom anymore because its full of abreviations and duh, da words. The future lies within the children, we should teach them well. And it's the same in other languages as well, unfortunately. Good luck.

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.

Do you realize how completely annoying it is when people TyPe LiKe ThIs???  And words like beginnners, stockings, skirts answers all end in S, not Z!  Please, just because this is the internet doesn't mean we need to completely abandon basic grammar, spelling and formatting rules.\n\nThank you.

I am so glad there is check spelling. I can spell pretty well on my own but I like to check on some words like the ie or ei words. It is fun sometimes just to check to see if there is actually any words I screwed up on. I totally agree with you that some people REALLY need to take advantage of that spell check. I think some people want to spell words wrong on purpose. They think that it is the in thing right now to sound illiterate, thou God knows why! LOL Good Luck with your comedy. If you are ever doing a show in Texas, let us know. Best wishes!

It drives me insane, particularly on here. There is a thing called spell check that people seem to have difficulty finding. When chatting it is a little more acceptable, not much but a little, because there isn't the convenience of spell check. What's worse is when you correct someone or mention they utilize the spell checker in any context the person asking the question becomes highly offended. For anyone offended by my response now I am going to show you how easy it was to make sure everything was spelled accurately because I had left a few mistakes intentionally. Now watch. Wow, took me 10 seconds to fix all of my mistakes.

I am so glad someone else mentioned this!  I think it's terrible the way some people spell and the grammar they use. It just makes you wonder:  What did they learn in school?  Spell check works sometimes, but not for everything. A majority of the words that are misspelled are not difficult words, either - just ordinary, everyday words!

CAN YOU NOT WRITE IN PROPER ENGLISH????!!!!
