Why is it that people have problems with spelling on yahoo questions when there is a "check spelling" button?

Because they're just plain stupid!

I have noticed it and you guys gave some fine answers.

This is an open forum...so any person is allowed to participate.

Some are from non English speaking areas and have problems with the language..Especially writing and sentence structures...They seem to be doing fine.

Others think that they are hip and need to talk in what I call Ghetto Computer Talk...Sort of like rap talk. They are usually around twelve to 17 years old.

Others don't even know that there is a spell check or how to use it.

I work as a writer and have looked at some of my answers and cringed at the mistakes that I made.

Chill-Out

Just write. What Islamic country would allow these open discussions without running into your house and cutting off your family's heads????

I think it is the "script kiddie" culture that infests basically every social site that exists on the Internet. Some people skip spelling because they are lazy, and I think some people just like the way that the misspellings look. For some people, I wonder if they understand that there is such a thing as a correctly spelled word. ;) So, in short, I think it is the Internet culture of quick typing and common misspellings. Get "teh" idea?

Not the spell justing grmmur to think me so I doe know? reel 2 nderstnding me difecult, reed an hard!

They probably don’t use it for the same reason that you seem to avoid the correct use of capitalization in virtually all of your previous answers. I assume they either don't know any better or, similarly to your case, they think they are smarter than they really are.

FYI rocket scientist, it's called Yahoo "Answers", not Yahoo "Questions."

Been asked and answered a hundred times a hundred times.

Got a better question:

Why don't people research their questions first?

EDIT:

And reported for that lovely email the asker sent me.

Did anyone else receive a lovely email from this jerk?

Wow. I have never seen the check spelling button. I will have to use that in the future. Thanks

because even if you spell something wrong, you can still understand the word...the problem is in the grammar!

I love that this question was in the 'education' section. That could be the reason, but I contribute it to laziness.

I think it's a matter of "giving-a-damn", and by the content of many responses, a lot of people here don't. God Bless you.
