Why are so many people asking stupid questions and using poor grammer?

because they're typing while they're working?

Maybe they are like me. I did not understand your question because I don't speak or read stupid. It is not one of the three languages I am fluent in.

Stupid questions come from ignorance.

Because society allows them the ignorance. It's common and has almost become allowed to use incorrect grammar, or none at all! It's embarassing at time to those of us who have control of our language.

I am fluent in English, Gibberish, Balderdash and Piffle, and I welcome the diversity of language found in the questions and answers posted here. \nYou should embrace the nonsense, it's not easy being an idiot - you've got to admire thier commitment (before they get committed).

Why do people have such horrible grammar?

Yeah some people just have to be rude. I think it's because they have no lives or anything better to do. I mean people on here sometimes ask "questionable" questions, but it's set up as a question and answer forum so people can ask what they want and others can choose what they answer. Personally if I come across a question that is even too "questionable" for me, I continue to scroll rather than provide the asker of the question with some snide remark. So to all the people that think someone is asking a question with an obvious answer or that a persons question is dumb, grow up, that's what we're all here for to ask whatever question we want to get feedback, not your useless, ignorant comments. Quit being such smart alecks, you don't know the background of who is on the other end of the computer asking the question. Stop criticizing grammar and spelling and being so condescending. None of us is perfect. All the best.

People use slang on purpose; it doesn't mean they're any less intelligent. Most just find it quicker and so easier to type in short hand. That doesn't, however, mean that the people who do choose to do that don't understand grammatically correct English because, believe it or not, we still do write in text books with teachers pointing out errors =). In fact, I actually read an interesting idea the other day on the Internet, about how if people show they can write and understand slang, it actually shows they're more intelligent (something to do with being able to convert easily, almost between two different languages. Apparently it challenges the brain, and so is actually useful.)

either a) my theory that Americans really are getting more stupid by the minute,   or b) people are on it so much and type so fast that they try to shorten up what they say by using self-invented shorthand for the computer. It is one of my personal pet peeves, not so much typing, but people who cannot seem to be able to speak English anymore. Do you know they are actually considering teaching ebonics in American high schools?! I say make the kids master English first.

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!

Because grammar is part of the language people need to learn. If we don't use correct grammar, everyone would be talking all funny.

i agree with you.im really saddened by the use of words.poor grammar and too much profanity.even the innuendoes of sex is repulsive. i  also think that word play is out of hand like they becomes dey.i had to read a question 3 times to understand it.i just dont think that the askers are involved enough to make a simple statement and not as intelligent as they want to be.

I couldnt agree w/ you more.  I have found 2 reasons: 1. they are flat out lazy and dumb.  2. They have a very poor grasp of the english language.  If you cant read it, just report it and use the reason of bad spelling.  Its in the list.  Ive done it plenty of times and not ashamed to say it either.

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.
1169623
chiding people for being poor spellers when you (and i, for that matter) play fast and loose with capitalization rules makes you look kind of silly...\n\ni don't use spell checker cos i'm lazy, and if i spell something rong it's cos i want to.
