Why is it that whenever someone asks a question, some sad bastard always has to pick on the spellings?!?

Some people have very little to do and too much time.  I'm one of them.  But, instead of poking at spelling, I do something that is mildly constructive...  I poke at people who poke at spelling...\n\nSad bastards...

lol no y wuld ne1 do tat?//??!?\n\nHaha, just kidding. It's really sad that people can't take the time to make sure they're using proper spelling and grammar, and it makes them look terribly unintelligent.

Thank you!! I'm with you on that one. I keep correcting people's questions instead of actually answering them. Just goes to show how apathetic some people are

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 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.

Yeah, but it's more sad than humorous when you think about it.  Perusing these Y!A boards inevitably has me thinking that we're fostering a generation of illiterate cry babies.  Granted, some of the questions posed here are facetious.  Others, however, represent the actual capabilities of the asker.  Sad...

However much I feel bad for people being harrassed for things they do not do well, I would honestly say that the spelling thing here bothers me as well, and it gets rather tiring reading posts with terrible spelling and grammar.  There is no excuse for it here, when you post your  question or answer, the 'CHECK SPELLING'  tool is always provided.  If it is your choice not to use it, then you probably will continue to be commented on.

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.

Great idea..Notwithstanding,that I doubt that anyone will be "willing" to correct the spelling,to seek for the right explanation .Maybe they(not offensive) stick to their slang and others merely suffer from illiteracy..

Questions that are repeatedly asked over and over and over by everyone who doesn't have an original idea or question or joke of their own. I would like to wring their necks. AND, those who don't know who to use the spell check button. On some of the questions the spelling is so bad you have to really strain to figure out what they are saying.

haha, yeah i get annoyed too. if they were meaningful, concept type questions i wouldnt get so frustrated. but when kids just copy and paste hw questions and expect ppl to do it for them, it irks me. what ab the kids that actually work hard for their grades?

It is laziness and a way to cover up for the fact that they can't spell properly. If you look at the other words in their sentences, you will generally see that the ones using these "slang" spellings have also misspelled many of the other words they have written.  The "slang" spellings originated in the chat rooms and chat programs, and now appears to be the lazy persons way to spell. Chat rooms and chat programs have made it easy for these people to communicate without putting forth any effort to learn to spell properly.

I agree with you 100%. It is so frustrating. English is my second language and I find that I have better grammar than many of the people on this website! The poor grammar and spelling make it difficult for me to answer their questions because I can't understand what they are trying to say.\nIt's really quite worry-some.\nBest wishes.\n-Daciana\n\nps.  Nice picture.

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

Only when people make an ass of themselves..Like, I hate it when someone gives you a smartass remark back to your question..

because people post the same questions over and over with terrible grammar, while the rest of us try to make serious questions.\n\n"Why do people"\n\n\nThis question has been posted many times, use the search feature.\n\n"why people so rude"\n"why people so mean"
