Do you realize how completely annoying it is when people TyPe LiKe ThIs???  And words like beginnners, stockings, skirts answers all end in S, not Z!  Please, just because this is the internet doesn't mean we need to completely abandon basic grammar, spelling and formatting rules.\n\nThank you.

honestly, I think it's a joke.  It's infantile and poorly thought out.  The spelling is not only atrocious but you appear to have deliberately used the wrong words.  You have no understanding of grammar or sentence structure.

in my opinion spelling is not that important on the internet.. it's not like it's  a class and your getting graded for spelling. I hate it too. everyone isnt perfect and i guess whoever has a problem with the way people spell things should get a life and stop worrying about it.

Why do people have such horrible grammar?

If spelling is still taught in schools, I for one want a refund of income and council tax because someone is getting away with murder!\nI am utterly appalled by the amount of ridiculous and infantile spellings on this site and I am not just referring to american spellings!

I'm hoping that the answerers are just plain lazy, instead of being the ignoramuses that they appear to be.  I hate trying to read something that looks like it was written by a six year old.  \n\nI will admit that I don't spell perfect or have superb grammar, but I at least take the time to make sense.

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!!!!

Absolutely it bothers me.  However, it's not just the misspelling that irks me, it is also the complete lack of proper grammar.  I understand there are people on the Internet where English is not their native language.  Our language is not only very hard to comprehend but also to master.  How confusing it must be to anyone learning English as a second language when we have words like: \n\nby, bye, buy \nwhich, witch\nthrew, through\nbazaar, bizarre\nto, too, two\n\nHowever, even my closest friends spell atrociously and their grammar leaves a lot to be desired.  I just don't understand it.  Personally, I just think they take a lackadaisical approach to writing.

Well limiting my answer to only this site, I would say a lot of folks on here are just playing it like it's a game, and going for the points that really get us nowhere...\nI don't understand why the points factor in anyway, we don't get anything out of it...\n\nPeople don't spell right because they don't try and they are in a hurry for whatever reason...\nAs little effort as is required to use the spell check feature, I don't know why they won't use it...\nI wish there was a way for Yahoo to make spelling correctly mandatory some way...\nI hate seeing so many words spelled incorrectly while I spend so much time getting all my answers to come out right and I use the spell check so I don't look dumb...\nI think a lot of folks just don't care either...

Yeah, I've realized that some people have a go at others over things beyond spelling.  Some aren't good typists, some don't care and the others are spelling "phonetically", but the main problem is there are some really mean people on Yahoo answers that seem to get enjoyment out of tearing others down,  for whatever reason.  If you care enough to read a question and try to answer truthfully, you should be patient enough to try and "read between the lines".  Some people are in a hurry because they feel their question is urgent and some people don't care how they spell, or don't know how to spell.  I've said it before, this site needs more "constructive" criticism than it does hateful and hurtful answers.  Yahoo answers has made an effort to change this by offering "check spelling" but what more can they do?  It isn't fair to degrade someone for not being able to spell properly or degrading someone for spelling phonetically!

The spelling and grammar is awful, I agree. However, just because someone is typing in English doesn't necessarily mean that it is their first language.

I guess because there is no rule that says everything on YA has to be spelled perfectly with perfect grammar. And usually it is possible to understand the question being asked.  Variety and diversity are a couple of the really good characteristics of this site - and I'd like to think tolerance and understanding are as well. Life is too short and precious to be overly concerned about the spelling, grammar, etc. on YA - the point is to try to help people by suggesting answers. \n\nWhy the site is limited to English - probably has to do with the logistics of monitoring the content in more than one language and with technical issues - many the YA team will respond.

The place is littered with people who are basically functionally illiterate, and I think it's disheartening to see how much of the public is simply too stupid or ignorant to form a sentence.  It's bad enough that some of them couldn't spell a word even at gunpoint, but a good bunch of them cannot even ask a simple question in a way that makes sense.  \n\nNow, a lot of them are young and "chat lazy".  They think that the creative spelling, lack of punctuation and capitalization, and chatspeak shorthand they use in their IM sessions is appropriate everywhere on the internet.  Bzzzt! Wrong answer!

*sigh* \n\nYou have no idea how hard it is  to not correct the grammar! The spelling? I can let that go. But the grammar...YIKES!! But I kindly put my red pen away at 3:00 and just let down my hair and become a yahooligan too. So bring on the errors. I can grin and bare it!

No... you have numerous spelling errors and it is an incomplete sentence.
