    Ehhh... An answer probably doesn't seem as legit using lol and stuff... It would make some people find you less mature resulting in them thinking you don't know anything about anything your saying... Or if you mean the spellchecker system yahoo answers uses it's probably because those are lingo and just that... They are not seen as actual words in the dictionary. Like when you're teacher tells you ain't ain't a word (mine always told me it just like that using it as a word while stating it's not a word... Hypocrite lol)

    the subject with examining blogs is they're ever-changing and so complicated.... questions/comments / comments/replies/... that it could relatively rigidity the innovations to stick to them and to "sustain" with them whilst they incorporate lots of nuiances. To click on the "weblog" internet site, and then initiate examining from precise to backside, so as to speak, could be a frightening activity requiring lots of TIME, staying power, and concentration... all of which maximum interneters have little of. As for all the countless "adjustments" of whilst an answer isn't an answer, whilst a question isn't a question, and what's chatting...you recognize...once you're making it SO puzzling to understand a thank you to "artwork" the Y!A equipment/format, you DISCOURAGE human beings from partaking in it. How discouraging is it to proceed getting VIOLATION NOTICES, having to charm them, and getting NO the place?? A learn of video games has shown that in case you do no longer enable a participant to WIN or improve a minimum of now and back, they'll ultimately provide up and attempt yet another interest.... and Y!A will proceed down this NO WIN course in the event that they proceed as they're, being so darned choosy approximately their definitions... AND allowing lots of SUBJECTIVE violations. undergo in innovations the previous adage... ok.I.S.S. ?? Y!A has FORGOTTEN it, and is turning out to be to be mired of their own gooey mess. the occasion you cite re: turning on the laptop... do you think of that the youngsters in recent times definitely understand a thank you to "format" an answer that's an answer??? they are able to hardly SPELL "answer"!!!! And whilst is it necessary to could choose between some laundry record the questioner has provided, otherwise it is not an answer! you assert that soliciting for a clarification isn't a contravention, yet troublesome the questioner's question/generalizations/ assumptions/ premeses IS a contravention!!! Oh, yet Y!A desires to inspire an "replace" of innovations, yet do no longer project them? that's no longer component of adjusting innovations? And... back... do you think of the youngsters (that are nearly all of the clientele) can definitely handle each physique of those nuiances??? Y!A could: a million-loosen up 2-SIMPLIFY 3-no longer anticipate this is clientele to be a gaggle of EINSTEINS. possibly THEN they had have greater proper achievement with working this component. Have a Yahoo Day!
