Answering Questions and Bad Grammar - A Turn-Off?
I have only been a member of "Answers" for a short time, and when I see a legitimate question, I try to do my best to answer. However, most of the questions I see are filled with cyber shorthand, and so many misspellings that I wonder if answering is even worthwhile. Since I don't have a regular 8 to 5 job, I thought this could be a worthwhile diversion. Don't people know how to write or spell anymore?

I recently posted a question similar to this. I received several responses saying that some really don't care and many just like using made up shorthand. It is kind of upsetting to see so many people that cannot or won't take the time to spell!

Not everyone who uses the computer is capable of proper grammer and good spelling. As long as everyone enjoys Answers, what harm does it do?
