Do you sometimes refuse to answer a question because it's too ridiculous?

You know the ones, the spelling is bad, the grammar is terrible and it doesn't even make sence

The questions that are so bad that it's not even worth answering them

I know I do

Update:

I am Austrailan by the way so if my spelling looks bad it's actually not, not here anyway

Sorry I should of clarified that before

    Before I answer your question, I just want to call you on your apparent defense of "sence" as being an Australian variant of "sense". Ummm... No. It's not. It's just an old fashioned typo.

    But yes, I agree, many questions here are not worth answering, but sometimes I find myself unable to resist, and I pop in to make fun of the Asker. I'm not proud of this behaviour.

    I can also relate to one of the previous answerers who said they often start to reply and then cancel. I've lost count of the number of times I've done that. Sometimes being sarcastic is just *too* easy. It's not clever, it's just juvenile.

    I've figured out how to understand some of the cases. Just staring at the screen for a few minutes will sometimes do it. Other times, I can still pick up a keyword.

    For example, one person wrote something about mail "blus" and it took me a few minutes of thinking "blues" before I actually realized that it was "plus." With more practice, though, it can get easier in cases like this.

    Yes, I got a best answer from one that was terribly spelled and I had to guess what the question meant, but I had fun answering it and at the same time had the only answer longer than 2 sentences.

    Source(s): Yahoo answers, what other source? ( wide grin ) :D

    Pacquiao has suggested various situations that he does no longer have a topic with scuffling with Shane Mosley, ought to his negotiating crew arise with a reliable deal. What surpassed off replaced into extra of a company decision particularly that Pacquiao no longer wanting to face sugar shane. And at that different time, Cotto replaced into the bigger draw than Mosley. And did it no longer educate interior the PPV buys? Pacquiao Cotto replaced into the most important PPV adventure of 2009. besides, Cotto replaced into no push over, he had 2 victories previous to Pacquiao. His loss antagonistic to Margarito continues to be being doubted because the plasters were uncovered. For all all of us know Mosley ought to have particularly no longer beaten a best fighter, because Margarito would were dishonest all alongside, and he did no longer have the pyschological self belief at the same time as he stepped interior the ring. although finished credit ought to take delivery of for KOing Margarito. by skill of how, didnt mosley lose to Cotto? So if Pacquiao did face Mosley, whats gonna end all people from holding he ducked cotto and went for the guy cotto beat.

    Sometimes I can't help but to reply to their stupidity if it is ridiculously funny & tell them about their bad grammar or bad spelling. Most of the time I skip it.

    I am sorry but I have to tell you that there is more countries exept America.Ther live people who dont speak English so good like you. And I don't know why I again answered ridiculous question.

    I generally refuse to answer them, yes. I used to make fun of people for it on the website 20 Questions, but then I started getting stupid hate mail from retarded teenagers, so now I don't bother anymore.

    Sometimes I think that there are no non-ridiculous questions left in this world at all.

    The most ridiculous thing is why we bother to reply to any question at all, in the first place :-)

    Sometimes I am tempted to answer, but usually think better of it. It isn't worth the effort to answer questions like that.

    I can't begin to tell you how many questions I've started to answer, just to be a wiseacre, but cancelled. Some I don't even want my sarcasm to be associated with.
