    A lot of people just don't care. They are in a hurry. There are other questions to answer. They have other purposes here aside of impressing you with their writing skills. They have no time for grammar Nazis.

    I wonder why do you even care? I don't mean that as criticism. I respect your dedication to spelling and good communication, and I try my best to spell well. But I am not going out of my way to do it. There are more important things to worry about. The actual content of some of the answers here is amazing (often in a bad way)!

    You are absolutely right. I spell check often I think people are so excited that they don't realize what they are doing, and want to take the time out to do it.

    I think alot of people are lazy. But then there are people whose primary language is not English. They probably try their best and even if they use spell check they may be unsure of which word to substitute.

    some people may just want to get their answer in first before someone else. or they don't care about grammar. everyone is different. besides most people don't know each other, therefore they do not care what others think about their spelling.

    Spell check works. People are jusy in too big of a hurry. Or too ignorant!

    Is it that big of a deal to you that you feel the need to lash out at people over it...if it is maybe you need some counselling to alleviate your stress and maybe get some anger management along the way cause Hun that Avatar is definitely harbouring some aggressive undertones!

    Most people are convinced of their spelling prowess that "spell check is for sissies".

    Maybe they don't think they spelled anything wrong and they just made a keyboarding mistake. I NEVR chek mi speling!

    Source(s): Here is my question: Why are you so bothered about it?

    I would say your guess is as good as mine. I do know that the spellcheck hasnt been working for some ppl, so that may be why its been worse lately.
