Just read, "Does it matter?" as a response.. No, I'm not surprised. You don't have to be an elitest or an English major to speak and spell properly.  Maybe it's just me, but I feel it's a "respect" for others, again sorely lacking on this site.  Watch the nasty responses to this.  Love to mix it up!

I have asked myself that question. Some spelling is so bad I read it more than once thinking it is a joke.\n\nI do the same with some of the questions that people ask. I am by far not a genius, but I wasn't aware of the number of people that are totally ignorant. I am not trying to be cruel or mean by saying that.  It's a fact that I had not thought about before.

I love you, man. I couldn't agree with you further than I could with my existence. I also love the fact there is a "CHECK SPELLING" button right above the box you type in that no one seems to utilize. The kids on here are just too trendy to learn; didn't you know that it's the cool thing now? I guess I'm not trendy, oh dear. </3

Some are too lazy to use this feature! I'm not, rest assured! I've enhanced my spelling 100% using a computer the last 3-5 years. I'm 18 years old and am proud of my vocabulary.

Right on Cindy!!! I am with you 100%. Misspellings and poor grammar are running rampant here on Yahoo Questions. People, are you listening?

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.

Sure do and try to ask them in a positive way as well. Man i find a lot of question on here that make no sense at all like they are asked by 7 year olds that have failed spelling in school. I agree it is hard figure some of these out for sure. But the internet has no posted age limit. You know right above the box where you type your answer it says CHECK SPELLING. Go figure..

I agree with you entirely.  I wonder where my tax dollars are going when I see the way words are spelled and grammar is tortured.\n\nSometimes I come on here, see the bad grammar and spelling then the idiotic questions and I leave and answer nothing.

Sometimes I wonder about people who post here who say the are going to attend a university, yet they misspell words and their grammar is simply awful.  Makes me wonder what kind of university they will be attending.  Some questions posted are almost incomprehensible, what with poor spelling, and bad sentence structure.  Sometimes, I know very literate people will misspell on purpose... but I don't do that myself. I like to see words written correctly.  I try to correct my own sentences, most of the time. I don't know, is it that people want to sound/look dumb so they "fit in"?  \n\nI do realize that this site has people from all around the world, and for many, English is probably not  their native language, so grammar and spelling may be difficult for them.  I'm not frustrated, but I do censor what I read at times, based on the type question, and the literacy of it too.   I figure, if someone cannot write pretty much correctly, they will probably be clueless as to what I write in my replies.  Maybe that is presumptuous on my part, but I do like to use words that a barely literate person probably won't be able to read or understand.  \n\nThen again, spelling doesn't always affect my replies, especially with kids.

lol no y wuld ne1 do tat?//??!?\n\nHaha, just kidding. It's really sad that people can't take the time to make sure they're using proper spelling and grammar, and it makes them look terribly unintelligent.

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.

Great idea..Notwithstanding,that I doubt that anyone will be "willing" to correct the spelling,to seek for the right explanation .Maybe they(not offensive) stick to their slang and others merely suffer from illiteracy..

Your spelling could certainly use some work...

Honey, your spelling is so bad, I don't think you've got that _____ thing right.\nTry again.

Yes, and considering the way 90% of the people on here have no idea how to spell basic words, let alone how to use it. I only wish there was a grammar check also.
