Why is it that when you read about any opinion on the internet that NOBDY KAN SPEL?

I think it's an example of everyone's growing laziness. I'm sure that I'm not the only who's noticing an epidemic of doing the minimum, not just with spelling. Especially with kids, though adults are also at fault, there is the rush to do the the smallest amount of required work in the smallest amount of time. And spelling is one of the places where it's worst. Most sites that I surf for info are published and spell checked, but forums drive me nuts. They're a great way to get answers, but I get pissed off because some many people have so many useful things to say, but their spelling is terrible. It's not too hard to decode some basic mistakes, but there are many large errors that compromise the meaning of a sentence (or should I say fragment).\nI find it very, very, annoying, but I don't see anything that can be done about it. Apparently the auto spell check that places a squiggly line under misspelled words and obvious check spelling button aren't enough. But at least there still are some who use the built-in spell check features.

It makes most people feel superior. In the real world they probably feel inferior, so they hop onto the Internet and put on their "big boy" pants and exert their frustrations on people they don't know. Don't fret!

That's why movies have a rating.  I still can't figure out why so many people in America--which supposedly values freedom of speech--try so hard to suppress what they hear.  Getting offended's fine; you have the freedom to voice that opinion.  But cencorship in any form whatsoever is just plain... well, if I typed it, Yahoo would edit it, wouldn't they?

People say things on the internet that they wouldn't ever say in real life.  Something about the anonymity (from both ends) allows you to make assumptions and express strong opinions you wouldn't be able to when face-to-face with people.

For the same reason anyone asks any questions in here. Its a place to get real answers from real people. And you might actually hear from someone who has been through the same thing and can offer better advice than the net can. Also they probably know which internet suggestions don't work.

People have a false act of intimidation on the internet because it's the internet, where you can pretend to be anyone you want. You can alter your personality, your history, and even your face with newtechnologies and commonsense. People feel that because they aren't going to talk to most of these people another day in their life, they can be intimidating, and tough to prove themselves. \n\nNobody realizes that not matter how many people they pwn on the internet, their STILL a loser.

Hi Mr. I Know Everything. OPINIONS. You cannot really get contempory opinions from google. The variable of peoples opinions at any particular moment in time is offered here, you are not likely to get 20 pages of irrelevant links before you get a good one here and there is that element of human contact which is not offered by google.\nI hope that helps!

It seems to me that on Y!A many people are not looking for answers, they are looking for someone to abuse and belittle, from the safety awarded to them by the anonimity provided by the Internet. Unfortunately it seems that there is not much to be done about this matter. Hopefully when they become used to Y!A they will get bored of it, and will not persist in sharing their hatred and small minded opinions with the world.

Because alot of people these days don't have manners to begin with, and the relative anonymity of the internet seems to give them license to say all kinds of rude and foul things. :(

Whoah, are you trying to state obvious rightous comments on this thing. You do know a buch of people with bad opinions will answer. But its nice to see someone with an understanding of how things are.

The problem with the web is credability. Sometimes ficticious things are written about people on websites such as wikipedia. Most of the time, they are reliable though. If you find more than one source that agrees with your data, then it is more than likely so.

The Internet is an imaginary place where we meet real people. No need to lessen it with a sense of guilt.

It's actually quite surprising that many people wonder about the same things. Also, sometimes it's good to post a situation and get different opinions on the same issue.  It gives you a look from the outside looking in

because sometimes they need reaasurance of there opinion. Other than that, who knows.

They're better than most sources on the web because people are constantly refining them and can contest things they dispute.   I wouldn't use them as a primary source, but they're a good starting place and backup.

They obviously think their scarcastic emails are their thumbs down to your comment.  It isn't so bad to be a little sarcastic here and there since we all know there are times it is warranted but also done with some respect as each opinion is going to differ from another.  Just because it is the internet doesn't take away the fact that we still have to maintain some basis to our actions let alone morals.\n\nThere is a difference between being sarcastic and distasteful...
