Who taught the majority of people on this website to spell and form questions?  Your grammar is terrible!?

LOL!!!  I feel bad saying it, but you're right.  I pass over questions I can't read or understand.  \n\nIt is a shame people don't know where to (even) put a period.  These run-on sentences have my eyes and brain in a frenzy (speeding with no brakes) - and that's if I can begin to understand the sentence(s) at all.\n\nThere's a saying, "when in doubt, leave it out" [referring to punctuating a sentence], that has been taken to extreme.\n\nMy points here, on Yahoo!Answers, might be higher if I could just understand the questions (and if they didn't make me dizzy).  [That goes for some of the answers, as well.]

Apparently most of the users here on Yahoo never took an English class.  I personally find it unappealing, and very ignorant looking.  Of course, have you seen the questions that these people are asking?  Pay attention to the quality of the syntax and spelling, and the question.  I believe there's a direct proportion somewhere.  I do understand that Yahoo is international though, and many users have English as a second language, so I take some of this with a grain of salt, but it still is irratating. \nThanks for letting me vent.

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.

I'm hoping it's because some users are not English speakers. But I must admit,I'm appalled. The spelling and grammar are so bad,many questions are incomprehensible. As for spell check. I've never used it.

Not really.  This site isn't meant to be perfect as far as I know - just to give people reasonable answers to their questions.  No one is being graded on their writing here.  People are working quickly and just want to get the message across.  Some of us are more meticulous than others.  Some of us speak and write English a little better than others.  No big deal.  Life is too short to worry about such things.

your spelling and grammar are so bad that I can't understand what your question is!

Some of the all-too-common butcherings of English (spelling), especially on Yahoo message boards:\n\n"alot" or "allot" (your example; not the word that means "distribute")\n"definately"\n"looser" (I'm not referring to the opposite of "tighter")\n"rediculous"\n"artical"\n"prolly"\n"grammer" (usually when being called out on it)\n\nThe worst part of this isn't the ignorance that *some* have regarding the misspellings, etc. but the lack of concern shown by those who do it intentionally. They have the attitude that this type of forum isn't the place where anyone *has* to show their grammar skills (or lack thereof), almost as though they pick when they want to turn it on and off. Why not use these skills all the time? Keep them sharp!

But, I see that punctuation, and grammar are issues for you:\n\n"I cannot, for the life of me, understand why so many people continue to misspell (words in Yahoo! forums) when there is access to a spell checker."

YES! as a teacher I completely agree with you, although i must say I am guilty of doing it myself when using the internet. I abbreviate most words when typing on the net because it is easier, but unlike children I know the correct way of typing as well. There are many examples I have seen at school where the internet has caused a decline in grammar and spelling ability! Text messaging on phones does the same thing. Often I will mark stories that include words such as 'da, cos, ya,' and so on.  I was reading the kids a book the other day, it said "....the cheetah laughed out loud" one of the kids put their hands up and said "that's LOL" I questioned them and then realised what they meant. On the internet typing LOL means laugh out loud. It is a real worry. I see kids who can't spell or write properly but can chat on the internet using perfect 'net language'!!

was there a question somewhere in that mess????\n\n\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/revisewise/english/spelling/

a language question... i'm not even sure this is a question. so ironic that a language question is so badly written.\n\nwhat's up with all the contractions? it's not like it takes eternity to type you, your, are, answer, please, one, ...\n\nyou can't even spell "leters" right. so much for a language "question" and i just noticed that it's in the category Education.

Yes, and considering the way 90% of the people on here have no idea how to spell basic words, let alone how to use it. I only wish there was a grammar check also.

You officially win the prize for worst spelling and grammar!!\n\nYou gotta make a question that people can read if you want advice man.

Right on Cindy!!! I am with you 100%. Misspellings and poor grammar are running rampant here on Yahoo Questions. People, are you listening?

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.

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.
