Is there a reason people don't use spell check? Most of the questions here look to be from 8 year olds. Agree?

Update:

Most of the questions look like they could be text shorthand. In this format there is no need for it. I understand that not everyone speaks English on this site. I'm not concerned with them. What does cause me concern are the young people who answer as if this is a text message on their phone or use nothing but slang. They sound like idiots and show an alarming lack of knowledge when it comes to spelling and punctuation. No wonder this country is sliding down the slippery slope to Hell. Our youth are morons.

If they're not, then why act like you can't spell? I will, 98 times out of 100, pass on a question where words are misspelled, there is no punctuation or just plain old fashioned lousy grammer. Go back to school people.

    you have to realise that a lot of the people on here are not americans and do not have a good understanding of the english language. spell check is worthless if you can't get close enough to the proper word
