Hmmm, IS there any good questions? or do you mean ARE there any good questions? aaaaah caught your error there *lol*\n\nMost of the questions are in English-ish, but too many people are lazy and don't like correcting their spelling or grammar... or they just think that shorthand is cool.

However much I feel bad for people being harrassed for things they do not do well, I would honestly say that the spelling thing here bothers me as well, and it gets rather tiring reading posts with terrible spelling and grammar.  There is no excuse for it here, when you post your  question or answer, the 'CHECK SPELLING'  tool is always provided.  If it is your choice not to use it, then you probably will continue to be commented on.

Absolutely it bothers me.  However, it's not just the misspelling that irks me, it is also the complete lack of proper grammar.  I understand there are people on the Internet where English is not their native language.  Our language is not only very hard to comprehend but also to master.  How confusing it must be to anyone learning English as a second language when we have words like: \n\nby, bye, buy \nwhich, witch\nthrew, through\nbazaar, bizarre\nto, too, two\n\nHowever, even my closest friends spell atrociously and their grammar leaves a lot to be desired.  I just don't understand it.  Personally, I just think they take a lackadaisical approach to writing.

YEAH, WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES AND PERSONALLY I KNOW THIS IS TRUE.  THAT IS WHY I GO BACK AND READ MY ANSWER TO INSURE THAT MY TYPING IS AS ACCURATE AS I CAN MAKE IT.  SPELLING IS A PET PEEVE WITH ME.\nSOME PEOPLE ARE JUST QUICK TO MAKE FUN OF OTHERS SHORT COMINGS.

Ok, this isn't a very good place to make a judgment on how well people can spell. \nFor one, there is a wide age range here. I have seen children as young as 11 here, so obviously they are more apt to make a mistake.\nSecondly, people make typos all the time.  This is an informal setting so they are not as likely to spend a lot of time correcting mistakes, as say they would be when composing a buisness letter.\nThirdly, how do you know who speaks English as their first language, and who doesn't just by reading the question.  I don't think that you can possibly know that.\n\nIf they had this same type thing set up in Spanish speaking countries, or German, Or whatever language, I think you would find just as many people making errors in their own language too.  I think it is a little unfair to single out Americans when I doubt you are actually comparing this evenly with everyone else.\n\nThat all said, it does bother me when there are excessive amounts of misspellings.  A typo here or there, I can understand, but some I've seen are ridiculous.

I'm sure a majority are non-native english speaking.  I find that in the gaming community as well.\n\nOne girl (I answered her question not to her liking) e-mailed me a long, rude and profane message and  informed me it's slang these days and perfectly acceptable to have poor grammer, spelling and sentence structure.  She knew how to spell and if she wanted to spell it that way she would.  If so, I wonder why they bother to put spell check available here?\n\nI hope I'm dead by the time they all take over the country.....

I noticed that phenomenon also. And I am amused by it. But also, I noticed that even with my own spelling, sometimes the spell checker doesn't work. \n\nIt is kind of a gripe with me that some spelling is really awful. A spellchecker is right here for everyone to use, but a lot of people don't use it. \n\nOn the other hand, when I use it, sometimes I get a little red alert that says the spell checker isn't working.

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.

Get off your high horse...this is a forum for anyone who wants to participate in it, not just for smart people who proofread.  Misspelled words aren't necessarily a sign of poor education as much as laziness (not to suggest that laziness is any better).  Just get over it.

Correcting minor spelling errors is obsessive and annoying. But not as annoying as spelling...like that contained in your question, here, which is anything but minor.

Because they're totally hypocritical bar-stewards, that's why!!\n\nTHAT is why 2 of your previous repliers have chosen to insult your spelling, instead of answering your question! Personally, I feel that although your spelling may not be great it's still a lot better than the spelling of SOME native English speakers ... but THEY are American too!\n; )\n\nAt least your writing can be understood, and I agree with you 100%!\n(But then, I'm not American, so I'm not insulted!)

I really wish that Yahoo! Answers would add an automatic spell-check for outgoing answers and questions.  Then if people chose to disable it or ignore it, they would certainly deserve the chiding they receive here.

I no wut you meen. :) People learn how to speak properly, they just don't care and forget how to do it. Lose/loose, your/you're, they're/their/there misspelligs are real annoying..

Well limiting my answer to only this site, I would say a lot of folks on here are just playing it like it's a game, and going for the points that really get us nowhere...\nI don't understand why the points factor in anyway, we don't get anything out of it...\n\nPeople don't spell right because they don't try and they are in a hurry for whatever reason...\nAs little effort as is required to use the spell check feature, I don't know why they won't use it...\nI wish there was a way for Yahoo to make spelling correctly mandatory some way...\nI hate seeing so many words spelled incorrectly while I spend so much time getting all my answers to come out right and I use the spell check so I don't look dumb...\nI think a lot of folks just don't care either...

I agree whole-heartedly. This has been bugging me quite a bit. What bothers me even more is that people have such horrific spelling and grammar to begin with. I'm assuming that most of the people who post on this website are at least 13 or older. People of that age should be capable of expressing themselves clearly and intelligently.

You aren't the only one, honey.  Especially with the slang typing.  Hello, you aren't ghetto and you aren't cool if you do that.  Our youth is going down the toilet with this butchering of the English language.  I don't expect people to type without mistakes, but the word is that not dat and the not da.  People are just losers sometimes.
