Why do people find it difficult to pose questions in the form of questions in accordance with English grammar?

unfortunately with more and more young people using computers and the abbreviations common to computer"shorthand", the proper  grammar and use of the written language with correct punctuation is lost\nit has become its own popular but to me lazy vernacular\nthe use of u for you\nthe use of r for are  etc.\nsome much time is spent watching  TV\nplaying video games\nnot enough reading and thinking thoughts through\nmy niece who teaches English told me a funny story\nshe gave a writing assignment and the student's opening sentence  asked the question can u ......?\nshe read no further\nher remark on the paper next to the grade\nwas U FAIL\ncomputers have spell check so you do not have to learn to spell\nit is not only language but math\ndid you ever notice some younger people who have part time jobs as cashiers cannot do simple arithmetic?\nthe cash registers now tell them how much change to give\nthere was a young girl who started a job in a local small shop who upon finding the register in the store was the old type that did not tell you how much change to give had to quit or be fired because she couldn't figure out on her own how much change from a twenty dollar bill was due back from a $6.25 purchase\nno wonder the world is such a mess\nall these gadgets today do the thinking for us- and everyone is in such a hurry to get where?

The first step in asking a question is to use a coherent sentence structure.

Because many people come back to their roots to teach and revert to talking like those around them. It's not too hard to learn the right ways of doing things and to actually do them. It's even easier to just run a spelling/grammar check and fix everything Word tells you is wrong. And, finally, most people have better (ie, more correct) grammar when writing than speaking.

You are definitely not alone!  I agree that we can't be harsh on those for whom English is a second language; but for those of us who have been speaking and writing it almost since birth - well, it's a disgrace!  You are not a "boring old pedant"; bad grammar and spelling make it very difficult sometimes even to understand a question, or comprehend what the asker is saying.  It's all about communication, and badly constructed sentences impede that communication.\n\nMy pet irritations are (if you're interested!):\nYour and you're\nBetween you and I (between you and me!)\nMe and John went to the shops (John and I...)\nLets go to the shop's (let's go to the shops)\nHe took a photgraph of John and I (...of John and me)\nWho and whose\nThose who are obsessed with putting apostrophes before any "s"\nThose who are obsessed with using mainly unnecessary "myselfs"\nAnd many more...\n\nAnother boring old pedant...

The main difficulty in mastering English  is that there are so many rules that have endless exceptions that one must learn\nmany forms case by case.  The use of prepositions is particularly difficult because many times the native speaker will use one preposition in one case and a different one in what seems to be the same case.  The native speaker can hear which one is right without being able to give the reason, and there may not be a reason for the difference.\nSubtle differences in word order and vocabulary choice often \nchange the meaning completely  in English, and there are countless idioms.\nLittle by little and you will master it.

Hi there- being that I have OCD (obsessive/compulsive disorder), I can empathize with how you are bothered by the poor grammar and spelling of other users. Actually, it doesn't bother me at all- which is uncanny. Since I am obsessive-compulsive, it seems counter-intuitive that I would not be bothered by people's mistakes in writing. Of course, I make an occasional faux pas myself. I love the English language...poetry, books, etc. But I do understand that there are other people who may not have an affinity for the written word. I believe that in some instances, the individual may be in a rush, and as a result, they are negligent when it comes to constructing their sentences. Some people may be very young people, or may be people who have recently started using the English language, and don't yet have the same proficiency as some native speakers/writers. From that vantage point, I think that many people, even highly intelligent ones, may have some degree of difficulty assimilating. Ostensibly, English is a difficult language to learn for speakers of other languages. There may be mulitiple reasons for this- such as idiomatic expressions, sarcasm, internet/chat terminology, et cetera. \n\nAt all events, I do understand your concern. I have heard of people with OCD who are greatly perturbed by poor grammar, or using incorrect numbers, and so forth. It stands to reason that there are people who do not have OCD who will also have this sort of pet peeve. I used to correct people when they failed to speak properly- for example, if someone were to say "Where is the car at"? I would chastise them for using a preposition at the end of a sentence. I don't know what aspects about me have changed since that time, but I don't normally try to correct people anymore. Please be assured that there are still people out here that love proper writing, as I am one of them. :)

how to detail question use grammar now not there.

In my experience a clear accent and proper sentence formation (i.e. words in the right order, although this can be subjective) really help. Using slang does not really help as it can often be wrongly used - as you say grammar and vocabulary are key.

I always think that asking questions opens the cracks that are in our own faiths and beliefs. Its like going through Microsoft Word with Spell-Checker. You find lots of mistakes and you feel bad. But at the end, you feel better because the end product is polished and structurly sound. Its the same with asking questions that challenge us.

why people do not learn grammar? you have faith in something with no proof. not all people choose to do that. the Him you speak of is in the eyes of the beholder, hence the reason some don't give respect and thanks.

At times it does seem as if some cannot use the English language to express a cognitive thought, and for some that may be true because for them English is a foreign language.  That’s understandable.\n\nAnother group are individuals who seem to be quite young and have not yet master language skills and that too is understandable.\n\nThe remain do this either because they never learned how to develop a thought and convert that into the symbols of language or, they are writing that way to create what they believe to be a cool image or, they are doing it because they mistakenly believe that is how you are suppose to communicate over the internet or, and some do it because they don’t care.  \n\nHow many, I don’t know, maybe 15% in the categories I typically access.  But it does seem to be decreasing since I joined this Yahoo Question and Answer forum.

Try to learn some English, before putting up questions in English!

Because they don't understand that word order, tenses, etc. may be different in different lands. The same would be true if an English-speaking person tried using perhaps Spanish or French for the first time: it would sound funny to a Spanish or French-speaking person.

I don't avoid answering them.  If it seems like the question is from someone who doesn't have a good command of English I often try to figure out what the person is asking and attempt a response.  If the question is about a serious issue I ignore spelling errors and focus on the more important problem.  I realize that some people asking questions on here haven't necessarily had the advantage of a pretty good education, so I don't hold that against them.  \n\nIf the question is frivolous I do ignore it, but then I mostly ignore the correctly spelled and grammatically correct frivolous questions also.\n\nFor what they are worth, those are my thoughts on the issue.

Is it the ANSWER is difficult or the QUESTION is difficult?\n\nThe strategy is to create more confusion for the fun of it.

why can you not take adequate time and write a clear, unambiguous question?

The main reason I can think of would be if the questions are complex, and you think it unlikely that people would take the time to read the details in order to answer knowledgeably.  In an interview, you can take the time to describe what your question is all about, and get more meaningful answers.  Another reason might be if there are visual props to use, and you do not want to distort the effect by showing them in a printed source.  An example of that would be if the startle or shock value of the visual image is of importance.
