The correct use of grammar has become a casualty of the whole "self-esteem" movement in our society — placing more emphasis on people feeling positive about themselves than doing so within the confines of better educational standards. It has created a "pulling down" of those ahead of the knowledge curve to the level of those who want like themselves as they currently are — stagnant and ill-informed in the ability to communicate effectively.

One reason is that this is Answers International. English is not the first language of many of the users here. As for native speakers, perhaps education and background didn't give opportunities to learn all that should have been learned. Besides that-some people don't care! Blessings, Buttercup

Because the casual nature of the Internet has led to an abandonment of the rules of grammar. People use "IM-speak" everywhere - not just in chat.

they use bad grammar because they're in such a hurry to give answers they can't think straight.

hey, lay off those people with 'bad grammar'..it's not their fault u know.. i think it's because the Y!Answer is only available in English, probably (?).. these people want to be a part of this community too.. share their thoughts, get feedback, vice versa.. and sometimes, through channels like this they are able to improve their command of english.. rather than criticise them, shouldn't we be encouraging them?we are ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY here in Y!Answer...be supportive,and open minded everyone..

It is indicative of society in general. It is indicative of our culture. We don't have time to watch what our children are doing, and most of them are here on yahoo chatting each other up. It sucks doesn't it. Thanks for the 2 points, I'm still trying to figure out what I can buy with them, maybe a gas guzzling SUV.

Why don't you become an English teacher and teach everyone proper grammar?

probably it's because they dont master the language which we usually speak here, english. It's a mere fault. No biggy.

My theory is that computers have become too cheap and easy to use so that even morons can work them.
