Why can't people spell or make sense of their questions on here?

That question has been asked more times then you can imagine. Most people reply with the excuse that it is faster and easier. Some use the excuse that they are used to text messaging. What ever the reason or excuse is, it all comes down to laziness. People are lazy and don't care. I see it as ignorant and lazy. Language and grammar are extremely important as well as clear communication with each other. For the people who ask,"What's the big deal?"\nI say, you appear ignorant and people are going to treat you as such.\nThe rest of the world is looking at us and our educational standards and laughing. It is sad really.

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 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.

It's either that, or someone is really mad at you on here and reporting you on every single question you ask. Try to keep on writing them and ask why you can't get an explanation..maybe you will have better luck than I had...lol

It is absolutely pitiful sometimes. The text messaging language, total lack of punctuation, and mangled grammar are completely and utterly painful. \n\nI just try to skip those questions. I decided a long time ago that if the person can't take the time to properly phrase a question, I certainly don't need to bother to read or answer it.

Well some people like me have a hard time spelling because i just aint that smart. I use to do better but seems now day i cant remember as well as i once did. But let me ask you something. Just because you can spell and think you are smart dose that make you better than me. I dont think so you may be smart or think you are but spelling aint everthing and if you dont like the way people do things on here then why are you here. I realy dont like being put down because i am dumb or stupid or not to smart who are you to judge me anyway.....so their roll that up in a joint and smoke it... know it all........

Sometimes I wonder about people who post here who say the are going to attend a university, yet they misspell words and their grammar is simply awful.  Makes me wonder what kind of university they will be attending.  Some questions posted are almost incomprehensible, what with poor spelling, and bad sentence structure.  Sometimes, I know very literate people will misspell on purpose... but I don't do that myself. I like to see words written correctly.  I try to correct my own sentences, most of the time. I don't know, is it that people want to sound/look dumb so they "fit in"?  \n\nI do realize that this site has people from all around the world, and for many, English is probably not  their native language, so grammar and spelling may be difficult for them.  I'm not frustrated, but I do censor what I read at times, based on the type question, and the literacy of it too.   I figure, if someone cannot write pretty much correctly, they will probably be clueless as to what I write in my replies.  Maybe that is presumptuous on my part, but I do like to use words that a barely literate person probably won't be able to read or understand.  \n\nThen again, spelling doesn't always affect my replies, especially with kids.

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..

Sara, I think you are a wonderful speller and that your grammar is perfect.  I think that you missed the point of a lot of the criticism - it is the fact that a great many people who ask and answer questions fail to hit the 'Check Spelling' button.  I, and I think many others, always make allowances for people like you who do not have English as their first language and appreciate the difficulty.\nIn any event, well done, God bless and good luck.
