I thought I was the only one it bothered.I am looking at the posts like this. If that is the worst thing that happens to us today, we are pretty lucky.

LOL! I hear you. It is very annoying. And you're right, those people who pick at spelling mistakes are extremely annoying. No one's perfect.\nHave a nice day!

It is so annoying to see questions/answers with so many spelling/grammar mistakes!  I guess people are just too lazy to make use of the 'check spelling' link.  And yes, the apparent lack of adequate spelling/grammar skills in today's children/teenagers worries me. :(

its interesting that you would ask a question about spelling and not be able to do so correctly in your question....................

I completely agree with you. I notice it a lot on here. Most of the so called questions are not even in question form. The spelling mistakes are unbelievable and we have spell check! Go figure? It is scary to see this. It really makes me wonder what goes on in school, what are our teaches doing? Where are the parents? Are they help their children? What about some adults, they do the very same thing. I just read a so called question and it said: "My sister and brother in law leave when they feed?" First off, this is NOT a question, second, the word "feed" should be "fed" or it should have read,"they leave after they have eaten" (That makes more sense). The dumbing down of America is so apparent and it is getting worse and worse. We need to put more money into our education system instead of the billions we spend on nonsense. \nI posted a question a few days ago, "How come no one spells words out?" I see "wit" for with...."cuz" for because...."plz" for please. I received really great responses. But the majority mentioned that it is faster to type these shortcuts....."wit" is only missing the "h"...how much faster do you type leaving out one letter?\nI agree with you a 100%.....remember, type-o's are different from spelling and grammar mistakes. Spell check will not do it's job right if you spell words like "cuz" for because.\nYou are right and I hope people take your question seriously and learn something from it.

IT'S LIKE WE BE BUSY TRYING TO GET OUT WHAT WE ARE ASKING THAT WHEN WE ARE FINISHED IT'S TO LATE BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED IT. I DO THAT ALSO MYSELF SOMETIMES.  BASICALLY YOU RUSH THROUGH THE QUESTION FORGETTING TO USE THE SPELL CHECK, AND DON'T NOTICE THE MISTAKES UNTIL SOMEONE CATCHES THE PROBLEM LIKE YOURSELF. SO GIVE US A LITTLE BREAK PLEASE. IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN'T SPELL WE JUST RUSH THE QUESTION TO FAST. O.K.!!

Perhaps we should earn points for correcting spelling mistakes in the question... Thanks to Konqueror's inline spell checking, I don't make mistakes myself any more (cue people jumping to prove me wrong).\n\nOh yeah, and thanks for stealing my electroshock keyboard idea; I've been advocating that one for ages!

There is a button labeled "Check Spelling". Please use it before posting!

It may be b/c your questions are hard to understand...phrase different and try to spell a bit better:)

It is absolutely pitiful sometimes. The text messaging language, total lack of punctuation, and mangled grammar are completely and utterly painful. \n\nI just try to skip those questions. I decided a long time ago that if the person can't take the time to properly phrase a question, I certainly don't need to bother to read or answer it.

I'm hoping that the answerers are just plain lazy, instead of being the ignoramuses that they appear to be.  I hate trying to read something that looks like it was written by a six year old.  \n\nI will admit that I don't spell perfect or have superb grammar, but I at least take the time to make sense.

As a former researcher, English major, journalist, and now as an English teacher, it amazes me how lazy some people are.  Why spend your points asking others when you can look it up online on amazon.com in 10 seconds?  \n\nIt is a very good medium to ask all sorts of questions and get all sorts of feedback.  I am biased toward feedback that is spelled and punctuated correctly, and I'm biased against too-casual writing.  But that's just me, and it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm extremely language-oriented.\n\nI applaud people who have the courage to come on here and ask personal questions.  I encourage everyone that when you see a very personal question, please don't attack.  Make a point of seeing things from the other person's point of view.  I notice that there are quite a lot of young people here, and we all, no matter what our age, are ignorant of some things.  No one knows everything.\n\nBut together, we can reach out around the world and hopefully make each other more aware, more informed, more knowledgeable, perhaps even more wise.  Shalom, K

Well limiting my answer to only this site, I would say a lot of folks on here are just playing it like it's a game, and going for the points that really get us nowhere...\nI don't understand why the points factor in anyway, we don't get anything out of it...\n\nPeople don't spell right because they don't try and they are in a hurry for whatever reason...\nAs little effort as is required to use the spell check feature, I don't know why they won't use it...\nI wish there was a way for Yahoo to make spelling correctly mandatory some way...\nI hate seeing so many words spelled incorrectly while I spend so much time getting all my answers to come out right and I use the spell check so I don't look dumb...\nI think a lot of folks just don't care either...

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?

YES I DO.  It's very annoying.  I stop reading questions if they are too poorly worded or in Ebonics.  It's just pitiful to see how poorly people know the English language and grammar.  Never mind the spelling!!!!

Many users are internatinal users also who don't speak English as a first language, so it's understandable that they misspell some words. Also, people are very lazy and there isn't a spellcheck feature here on answers; you can't expect everyone to copy and paste all of their answers from word processing programs. A few of the users are younger children as well who are just learning proper spelling and grammar techniques.
