That is pretty funny. What is even funnier is that everyone who answers this question will be weary of spelling correctly (or vice versa). The education system is lacking; however, I think that when people feel comfortable in an environment where spelling correctly is not an expectation, they just go crazy. Most like that slang, but I truly find it atrocious.

Simple reason, they can't spell or write properly, just like you!

There is a lot of people who have grammar problems but you dont have to be that harsh. You think English is easy to learn? Even the people who were born in the U.S or England have grammar problems. Nobody is perfect. It's not the matter of stupidity but the matter of being a human. Not saying there's no stupid people out there. Just dont worked up over little things like this. I rather see people trying to write in english than go into Yahoo answers and write in spanish assuming people know spanish. Take a chill pill girl. Besides, look at yourself before you judge people. Your sentences aren't that perfect eaither.

To some extent it's true that schools seem to be getting more lax these days.  I cannot count the number of people who have not been made to learn the difference between 'to' and 'too;' 'it's' and 'its;' 'there,' 'their,' and 'they're.'\n\nOn the other hand, however, I believe it's also partly the environment.  I have many classmates in college who are able to write correctly and coherently in their papers, but as soon as they go online, all such grammar vanishes.  It's part laziness I think, and part lingo.  It's like using slang or an accent to show you belong.\n\nOf course, there's also the group of people who just never really learned to type.  Their sentences and spelling are messed up because they hit the wrong keys and don't see it or don't bother to fix it.

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.

People feel like it is thier job to be grammar police.  I am all for spelling correctly, but in a forum like this - I don't think it matters.

some people really can't spell. others, as I tend to do sometimes, just don't feel like using correct grammar and punctuation when the message can get across by using slang or a homemade version of shorthand.

They're not playing at being morons, they really are!  I have never seen so many people who couldn't spell, use proper punctuation in the right places or who have totally ignored the rules of grammar until I joined Yahoo Answers.  To answer your question, yes schools are failing this badly but I think parents are too.  The hip-hop industry isn't helping either.  Kids see this and imitate it. ("fo schnizzle" is a perfect example)

I think some must be speakers of another language and their english is the second or third language they speak.  Because alot of times it is not just spelling  errors but every other grammatical faus pax you can commit.

You spelled 'correctly' correctly.  So, 'how come no one on here knows how to use grammar correctly?\n\nI agree with Mojoman.  Public education.  It is time for vouchers.

Also, what about their disregard of basic grammar.  It is amazing how many people have no idea when to use "are" or "is".\n\nWhy bother with spelling?! Because if you have a lot of stupid spelling mistakes, it seems to say something for your intelligence...like a lack of any.\n\n:)

You need to learn how to spell.

Because society allows them the ignorance. It's common and has almost become allowed to use incorrect grammar, or none at all! It's embarassing at time to those of us who have control of our language.
