Do teachers on here grade our question and answers for spelling errors?

*sigh* \n\nYou have no idea how hard it is  to not correct the grammar! The spelling? I can let that go. But the grammar...YIKES!! But I kindly put my red pen away at 3:00 and just let down my hair and become a yahooligan too. So bring on the errors. I can grin and bare it!

IT'S LIKE WE BE BUSY TRYING TO GET OUT WHAT WE ARE ASKING THAT WHEN WE ARE FINISHED IT'S TO LATE BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED IT. I DO THAT ALSO MYSELF SOMETIMES.  BASICALLY YOU RUSH THROUGH THE QUESTION FORGETTING TO USE THE SPELL CHECK, AND DON'T NOTICE THE MISTAKES UNTIL SOMEONE CATCHES THE PROBLEM LIKE YOURSELF. SO GIVE US A LITTLE BREAK PLEASE. IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN'T SPELL WE JUST RUSH THE QUESTION TO FAST. O.K.!!

in my opinion spelling is not that important on the internet.. it's not like it's  a class and your getting graded for spelling. I hate it too. everyone isnt perfect and i guess whoever has a problem with the way people spell things should get a life and stop worrying about it.

there is a built in spell checking feature on this site or consider typing your question in microsoft word first as that will check for spelling and grammar.

get a dictionary and double check every word!...jk...just pray that she never changes her subject to english and/or grammer! Besides, nearly all of my teachers misspell words, and I got along pretty well!

But, I see that punctuation, and grammar are issues for you:\n\n"I cannot, for the life of me, understand why so many people continue to misspell (words in Yahoo! forums) when there is access to a spell checker."

no it is def not you. for example, the person who answered first gave the wrong "its", so there is prove right there. The problem is Microsoft Word. it corrects grammer, punc., and spelling so that people don't have to use their brains anymore. Technology is actually killing education slowly but surely.

Lol u are right it drives me round the bend people have ago at my spelling sometime, but I can't help it coz I'm dyslexic, some peoples first language is English to and there is no spell check there. I dunno how they don't notice that. Sometimes I do type my questions in Microsoft word do a spell check and copy and past it, but sometimes I can't be bothered with that.

Maybe they would know what that is if you had taken the time to spell it correctly. It is School, not skool. No one will answer your questions if you don't take the time to properly type and spell out a question.

I agree! It's amazing how many people can't, or won't spell or write correctly, especially here in Yahoo! Answers. The excuse I always get is "Well, this is the Internet, you're SUPPOSED to misspell!". Please! It's no wonder our country is falling behind so many other countries in literacy and other areas of knowledge. We, as a society have become lazy in such basic things as spelling, grammar, math and science.

Many users are internatinal users also who don't speak English as a first language, so it's understandable that they misspell some words. Also, people are very lazy and there isn't a spellcheck feature here on answers; you can't expect everyone to copy and paste all of their answers from word processing programs. A few of the users are younger children as well who are just learning proper spelling and grammar techniques.

Kudos for this question!\n\nWhen I read through some of the questions and answers on here, I often find myself grinding my teeth in frustration over the spelling and grammar of too many postings. It seems to me people lack pride, or they don't realize they are presenting themselves to the entire world as illiterate idiots. I also think too many kids/young adults today believe dumb is "cool" - guess what, kiddos, it's not!\n\nBut then again, after seeing a public school teacher (of all people!) in a news interview several years ago say that for her job, "I teaches English," I shouldn't be surprised....

YES! as a teacher I completely agree with you, although i must say I am guilty of doing it myself when using the internet. I abbreviate most words when typing on the net because it is easier, but unlike children I know the correct way of typing as well. There are many examples I have seen at school where the internet has caused a decline in grammar and spelling ability! Text messaging on phones does the same thing. Often I will mark stories that include words such as 'da, cos, ya,' and so on.  I was reading the kids a book the other day, it said "....the cheetah laughed out loud" one of the kids put their hands up and said "that's LOL" I questioned them and then realised what they meant. On the internet typing LOL means laugh out loud. It is a real worry. I see kids who can't spell or write properly but can chat on the internet using perfect 'net language'!!
