Why is it that I see such poor spelling, punctuation and sentence structure here on Y!A? While one obvious answer is the lack of decent education, it would seem likely that people who wish to use a written form of communication might eventually improve their skills, what I'm seeing instead is more like a complete lack of respect or care for any precision in communication.
I see comments such as "You KNOW what I meant." Unfortunately, this isn't always true. While one may GUESS, the only way to be certain one is understood is to write in an unambiguous fashion. This is facilitated by using good writing skills. Do people no longer care if they are understood?
