Why do people not take the time to make sure they spell correctly when posting?

Because some people aren't that conscientious about their work anywhere and here, they don't feel a need to be professional or accurate.

check your spelling before you hit submit?

I dont think that you should say anything to me and post mean responses on MY page when it's clear that you can't even SPELL. Typing is the correct way. So next time you want to leave something stupid and UNFOUNDED on MY questions, remember that you are the one who can't spell.

I do understand what you're trying to say, and I do not usually try to make a big deal out of the grammar and spelling mistakes of others.  However, I do get very annoyed when I am trying to read a post that is written so poorly that I have to read the words more than once to try and figure out what the person is saying.  There is also a spell check on this board, so there really is no reason for misspelled words.  Now, punctuation is a whole different story, I suppose.  In either case though, there is still no reason for someone to be mean about it or to make fun of someone for it, even if it is extremely annoying.

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.

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 think some of the people who answer on here rush to try and answer the question first..thus they make mistakes and don't bother to spell check...I really don't know why they do this...It's not as if points make prizes.

Well some people like me have a hard time spelling because i just aint that smart. I use to do better but seems now day i cant remember as well as i once did. But let me ask you something. Just because you can spell and think you are smart dose that make you better than me. I dont think so you may be smart or think you are but spelling aint everthing and if you dont like the way people do things on here then why are you here. I realy dont like being put down because i am dumb or stupid or not to smart who are you to judge me anyway.....so their roll that up in a joint and smoke it... know it all........

Why do people not know how to spell and ask silly questions?

My favorite question ever was, "Why can't anybody use proper grammer?"  I do not know why people do not use spell check.  They are lazy, I guess.

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.

when i ask or answer, i try to edit my words before it is posted. i try not to offend that person's typing abilities when i answer a question.

why dont people write properly?

Some people just have to be rude.  And some people get hostile when reading questions and the additional info that goes with them, so they strike out with rudeness.\n\nAnd some people feel that they are being helpful.  But they don't realize that people are sensitive about spelling and grammar and feel bad when they are corrected.\n\nThat is why it is just not polite to correct people's errors in spelling and grammar.  It would be different if the person asked to have such errors corrected, and even then, care should be taken to do it in a nice way.

I never use spell-checking because it doesn't detect problems like they're - there - their or who's - whose.  When I post or email something informally, like here, I reread what I have written very carefully before I hit the 'send' or 'post' button.  I probably make a mistake about once a year.\n\nWhen I write for work -- even if it's just an email -- I reread what I've written very, very carefully.  I probably make about a mistake a decade.\n\nOn the other hand, I regularly check words in the dictionary to make sure I've spelled and used them correctly.
