Don't people realize that there is a very simple spell check function available in Yahoo Questions?

How about a spell checker or grammar checker.

I don't think it's a matter of not being able to spell.  Most people don't take Yahoo! Answers seriously enough to proof read.  Further, the Internet culture of 'online slang' and various other short cuts used in chat rooms and IMs naturally transcends into Yahoo! Answers.

I think that you should use spell check before posting a question. You are asking for educated thoughts, yet you are not even educated enough to spell correctly.

You are right !\n\nI use it , but the spell checker can't find everything, so I think your example wouldn't fail the test.\nWell, my English is really bad, I know this, and so it bothers me , if somebody uses letters instead of words. For example : How R U ?

Apparently one thing it's "affecxting" is spell-check.

Regrettably, many of us are more interested in our two points (thank you) than being serious.\n  \nFor the same reason as the class clown.\n\nFor the same reason, I guess, that so many people don't use spell check.

Whoa1 Check out all the responses. Guess you are not the only one, huh?  But the biggest giveaway was when all of a sudden the "check spelling" box appeared! LOL.  I thought that was great. I haven't noticed that it is necessarily working that well to halt the misspellings, and "chatspeak" (like, say: "LOL"--sorry) but at least it shows all of us who do care that we are not alone and that good old Yahoo is responsive to our particular mania.  \n\nTry what I do if you want to stay on here and not go blind or insane:  Squint while you read!  Ha ha. I tried drinking but that didn't work as well.

Each program has to have a spell checker in it for whatever it is your trying to spell check. In Word just Tools, Spellcheck.\n\nMost programs that have anything at all to do with documents have some form of spell checking. If the program your in does not such as what I am typing right here does not in Yahoo I can cut/paste what I type into Word and check it then cut/paste back into Yahoo.\n\nIf your trying to run a program to open everything on your PC, check it then move on to the next document then your not going to find such a tool.

The spell checker is built into the latest version of Firefox.  When a word is underlined as misspelled, just right-click on the word and you will see your replacement word options.\n\nIE has nothing like this.

Microsoft Word has a grammar checker.

Many users are internatinal users also who don't speak English as a first language, so it's understandable that they misspell some words. Also, people are very lazy and there isn't a spellcheck feature here on answers; you can't expect everyone to copy and paste all of their answers from word processing programs. A few of the users are younger children as well who are just learning proper spelling and grammar techniques.

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. :)

Why do most of the people on this site have a hard time stringing together a sentence?  I've been wondering this for a long time.  Most people don't know what spell check is, and most people don't read.  Reading is proven to increase spelling and grammar, but no one likes to read, they would rather watch TV and play video games.  \n\nPeople on this board irritate me because they post questions and you can't even understand what they say.
