Why do people who post on Yahoo! ANSWERS have such poor grammar?
How hard can it really be to type the correct words, in the correct order, with the correct spelling? (Especially with spell-check available!) I am no grammar expert...but at least I can make a point that others can understand!

Why is the pope catholic? But seriously, I share your frustration, but there are also a lot of fairly young people on here, not to mention there are probably quite a few users that English is not their native language.

There could be a number of reasons.
AS FAR AS my posts it's because I hit the wrong keys and I don't notice it till after press the submit button.
Another reason is for people to have a good laugh.
Maybe their spell check is not working right.

who's every physique? needless to say you're new here. no longer every physique is responsible of those accusations. it could be like me announcing why do all new human beings ask ridiculous questions (like yours) that have been asked and responded thousands, if no longer hundreds, of situations without looking solutions first? Get my factor? once you have been here awhile, you will start to clean out the dummies and immediately concentration in on the real deal without giving it a theory. each and every sometimes that's fairly relaxing to attempt and determine what many of the morons attempt to assert. have relaxing at it and don't enable it get to you. once you initiate getting frivolous violations, then you certainly can evaluate your self totally initiated. BTW, does not overusing question marks fall into the class of undesirable grammar? merely kidding...

Ummm , I think many are not only young, but I also think our educational system has let us down.
While, don't forget, many are not brought up with the English language which means they have difficulty spelling or speaking the language.
A lot of it I see on here is just "young"

Aftermath of American "education". Sad, isn't it? Besides spelling and grammar there seems to be no thought put into what is being said/asked. No planning.

because now people use a lot of shorter versions of word to not spend too much time writing, that's y we don't like to write too much....
