Why does everyone on this site make typoes?

You misspelled typos.

I don't usually proof-read answers until after I submit them (as there's an edit button it's not such a big deal), but I do check questions pretty carefully as I can't go back and change them later.  And when I'm not sure how to spell something I always look it up before I type it!

It happens.  But the REAL question should be:  Do you take a person more seriously when they take the time to spell properly(and none of that netspeak like gr8 and ur), use proper grammar, and above all PUNCUATION?  I know I certainly do, and while I admit to making the occasional typo, I am more wont to give a sincere answer to a question that has been asked 'properly.'  On the flip side, if someone is barely literate I am more apt to give a sarky and sarcastic response.

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.

Regrettably, many of us are more interested in our two points (thank you) than being serious.\n  \nFor the same reason as the class clown.\n\nFor the same reason, I guess, that so many people don't use spell check.

They think typin like dis is kool. I'm on your side. I think it's retarded how people use "u" "r" and other acronyms. It takes like... what? THREE SECONDS to type the whole word?

As Americans, we are supposed to be able to speak and write proper English.  Knowing how to use the language properly is a sign of intelligence, not arrogance.  The occasional typo is totally forgivable because you're right.  We all do make mistakes occasionally.  However, when we have such wonderful inventions as spell check, there is not excuse for blatant misspellings.

Typos in professional settings... signs, newsletters, mailings, and so forth. Pet peeve of mine. People that tail gate - makes my blood boil. WHINING - I CANNOT STAND WHINING - it got me an automatic time-out when I was a kid no matter what the whining was about. Even worse when it's an adult. Superficial people. The people that are close to us become part of our reality. Life is too short to allow my reality to involve fakeness or shallowness. \n\nBut number one, by far, is LYING - It is an insult to my intuition and my intelligence. It is selfish, cruel, and once again, introduces fakeness into my reality. I will not tolerate a liar.

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. :(

This was actually the first question I asked when I started visiting because I was appalled at the spelling also. Then I realized that most people use shorthand spelling for text messaging and really have gotten lazy about it. Either that all they're all idiots. I've pretty much gotten used to the ignorance level and try to stay above it. Good luck to you!

Yeah, I've realized that some people have a go at others over things beyond spelling.  Some aren't good typists, some don't care and the others are spelling "phonetically", but the main problem is there are some really mean people on Yahoo answers that seem to get enjoyment out of tearing others down,  for whatever reason.  If you care enough to read a question and try to answer truthfully, you should be patient enough to try and "read between the lines".  Some people are in a hurry because they feel their question is urgent and some people don't care how they spell, or don't know how to spell.  I've said it before, this site needs more "constructive" criticism than it does hateful and hurtful answers.  Yahoo answers has made an effort to change this by offering "check spelling" but what more can they do?  It isn't fair to degrade someone for not being able to spell properly or degrading someone for spelling phonetically!

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 don't think they read them at all. they just start spouting off at the mouth. and watch out. people are starting to condemn each other for typos and misspelled words again.

Grammar mishaps are only the tip of the iceberg.  I just read an answer that was ment for another question, and on top of it, it was incorrectly written and rude as hell.

No: I notice everything, including grammar.  \n\n" Am I the only one who notices all the misspelled words?  And do they know of the 'Check spelling' button?  And am I the only one who seems bothered by this?"\n\nI am bothered, because it displays an inordinate amount of laziness in modern thinking; however, it probably stems from that insidious precept launched, I believe, in the 1960s, where parents brought up their children to express themselves freely, never mind how, leading to a lamentable lack of discipline in so many areas!\n\nGrumble, grumble ... but at least people are interested in all kinds of things, as we can see on this site - and learning from the answers!
