I couldnt agree w/ you more.  I have found 2 reasons: 1. they are flat out lazy and dumb.  2. They have a very poor grasp of the english language.  If you cant read it, just report it and use the reason of bad spelling.  Its in the list.  Ive done it plenty of times and not ashamed to say it either.

I agree with you, but some people are just too lazy or type too fast (and don't realize their mistakes). Unless Yahoo! was to add a spellchecker that checks the spelling of all posts, I don't see these people improving their spelling and grammar.\n\nAlso, there are people on this website that haven't learned correct grammar or spelling (because they are new to the English language).

Um, you can't spell, and you can't read too well either, evidently, The little blue letters above the dialog box say spell checker. You should try it sometime.\n\nThere. Something to ponder while you are waiting to fall asleep.

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

I think you just answered your own question but here are some other ideas I've had:\n\n1) Many folks here do not speak English well, and probably read it even more poorly. Imagine if you were translating your own question into Greek... would you be able to spell every word correctly? Would spell check really help you?\n\n2) Lots of people on this site are in too big a hurry to get points to be bothered with things like syntax or grammar or spelling, or fixing their typos.\n\n3) People in general are quite stupid and under-educated, which is probably why the good folks at Yahoo developed this site.

Don't be sorry...\nI think people don't care or they would use the spell check that Yahoo installed...\nI know it is very hard to read some questions and answers and I think it requires more effort to spell wrong than right, but I am not in my 20's any more and it seems like that is the new way to spell with shorter words and using less letters...\nI can't understand that because then people assume you are stupid and don't rely on your answers or your advice...\nWhat's so hard about spell check folks???\nIt only takes a second to check your work...

What an excellent question, too bad nobody can answer it.  I thought people here could answer questions, whazzup wit dat?

I'm glad somebody else feels the same way I do.  One would assume that because this is a site to answer questions that people would phrase what they are asking in the form of a sentence asking a question, not a grammatically incorrect statement with a question mark at the end with most of the words spelled wrong!!!  One would also like to assume that anybody over the age of six knows how to spell the simple words that are spelled incorrectly in these people's questions.  Is it that hard to check spelling?????

Reply- don't you have spelling check? If you type replie it at the bottom of the list.

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.

Does anyone know how to spell?

The problem is that people simply don't care about grammar and spelling.  If you don't care, you won't be bothered to use a spellchecker.  It's kind of a catch-22, because if you're a poor speller, you tend not to be bothered by (or even notice) poor spelling, and so you don't see the point in making an effort just for the benefit of others.  Most people I know who aren't naturally good at spelling and grammar will put the effort if it's for something "important" like a job inquiry, but apparently Yahoo! Answers doesn't qualify as important.  \n\nJeepDrivr has a point---many people (especially those who post questions in the Languages section) don't speak English as a first language, but those generally aren't the culprits.  It's actually pretty easy to tell when grammar and spelling errors are a result of unfamiliarity with the language and when they're just due to laziness.  \n\nAnyway, I sympathize with your frustration.  I take a stand by refusing to answer poorly written questions...I figure if they can't take the time to ask nicely, I won't take the time to answer. :)

Why do most of the people on this site have a hard time stringing together a sentence?  I've been wondering this for a long time.  Most people don't know what spell check is, and most people don't read.  Reading is proven to increase spelling and grammar, but no one likes to read, they would rather watch TV and play video games.  \n\nPeople on this board irritate me because they post questions and you can't even understand what they say.
