Why is it that most people who ask questions on here spell everything wrong?

Apparently, proper punctuation and capitalization are also beyond most people.  \nI think most were never taught properly to begin with and now they just don't care.  \nIt doesn't seem to matter to them how they are perceived based on their writing.  \n\nI just hope they're not filling out resumes this way!  I wouldn't hire them!

Sure do and try to ask them in a positive way as well. Man i find a lot of question on here that make no sense at all like they are asked by 7 year olds that have failed spelling in school. I agree it is hard figure some of these out for sure. But the internet has no posted age limit. You know right above the box where you type your answer it says CHECK SPELLING. Go figure..

I agree that sometimes people are just in a hurry to answer, so they don't catch their mistakes. I am guilty of that many times. However, I think that many are non-English speakers, or  are just learning to speak and write English. So they are not really that familiar with the spelling of the words that they just hear on TV, songs, etc. This is a venue for them to learn.

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. :(

I'm sure a majority are non-native english speaking.  I find that in the gaming community as well.\n\nOne girl (I answered her question not to her liking) e-mailed me a long, rude and profane message and  informed me it's slang these days and perfectly acceptable to have poor grammer, spelling and sentence structure.  She knew how to spell and if she wanted to spell it that way she would.  If so, I wonder why they bother to put spell check available here?\n\nI hope I'm dead by the time they all take over the country.....

I dont think that you should say anything to me and post mean responses on MY page when it's clear that you can't even SPELL. Typing is the correct way. So next time you want to leave something stupid and UNFOUNDED on MY questions, remember that you are the one who can't spell.

Yes, I have noticed that too many people posting have terrible grammar and spelling skills. (I am not talking about those for whom English isn't a first language.)

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.

Ha ha.\n\nWot wurys me is kids SMSing. U no wot I meen?\n\nI think sometimes the people who ask a lot of these questions are children or English is their second language. Others may not have done well at school. Not everyone is good at reading and writing; expecting them to be is like expecting everyone to be capable of singing well or being able to fly a space rocket.\n\nAlthough annoying, it does not really affect you badly and these people are getting enjoyment out of interacting with others. Let them have fun without being picked on.

YES I DO.  It's very annoying.  I stop reading questions if they are too poorly worded or in Ebonics.  It's just pitiful to see how poorly people know the English language and grammar.  Never mind the spelling!!!!

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"

Why do people have such horrible grammar?

I don't have the answer to that but its annoying beyond comprehension. Too lazy to type the whole word out, or misspell it, I don't know which is worse. They all suck.

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!

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. :)

IT'S LIKE WE BE BUSY TRYING TO GET OUT WHAT WE ARE ASKING THAT WHEN WE ARE FINISHED IT'S TO LATE BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED IT. I DO THAT ALSO MYSELF SOMETIMES.  BASICALLY YOU RUSH THROUGH THE QUESTION FORGETTING TO USE THE SPELL CHECK, AND DON'T NOTICE THE MISTAKES UNTIL SOMEONE CATCHES THE PROBLEM LIKE YOURSELF. SO GIVE US A LITTLE BREAK PLEASE. IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN'T SPELL WE JUST RUSH THE QUESTION TO FAST. O.K.!!
