Why can't people on Yahoo! Answers spell?!?

In the age of IM's and SMS texts, the youth of America seems to have adopted a "but you know what I mean" attitude on the topic, which I find disturbing, as well.\n\nFor those folks who throw their hands up in the air, and announce that they are "just bad spallars (sic)", please do the rest of us a favor and click the Check Spelling button pre-submission.\n\nI agree with you so very much.\n\nDo any of you remember Ray Bradbury's FARENHEIT 451 ?  It asserts that since we do all of our logical thinking in words, that limiting the vocabulary of the masses could, in turn limit their thinking.  It's interesting to see that the most unclear thinking seems to be posted in the most dubious syntax most of the time.

There is a button labeled "Check Spelling". Please use it before posting!

Incorrectly spelled text is difficult to understand.\nFor instance, take l33t sp34k for example.\n\nS4V3 j00r Pr3F3r3N(3z W|-|3N pH1N15H3D 4ND r3TURN 2 534RC|-|.\n\nYou can probably figure out with this says, but it will take you a while if you are not familiar with leet speak.\nWhen people encounter misspelled words, it takes longer to figure out what you are trying to say, and is annoying. People who are annoyed, generally are rude.\n\nFor more leet speak, try this:

The real question is:\nWhy don't people use spell check?

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 find this question offencive! And your inability to spell check is unforgivable!\n\nDude people are on average reactionist, ignorant, self centered pricks. Don't let them get you down. Just filter out the dummies.

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.

Anyone who cares that little about proper spelling (or readable questions and answers) isn't going to take the time to click a button to check the spelling, much less pick the right word when something is misspelled.  I doubt yahoo will ever add a spell checker because it would be largely unused; unless they used some sort of real-time spell checker like MS Word has. No spell checker would be able to suggest a word for most of these people anyway.  Also, many questions require "misspelled" words such as file paths, websites, and program names.  If you want to make sure your questions are spelled correctly, type them in Word (or whatever you’ve got) and copy and paste them to the question box.

WTF!Work on your spelling then ask us all again.

I've asked this question.  Most people just don't care about their spelling, and they claim to be in too much of a hurry to use Spell Check.  They are idiots.

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.

You stole my question, I am glad I ran into yours, I will put this on my watch list. I ran into two like that and they had a spell check thing. I wonder if the yahoo staff is putting questions out. :)\n\nThanks for asking :) I was just getting read to ask this one myself. :)

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.
