Will someone please leave me a thouroghly spellchecked answer without slang or acronyms to explain this idiocy coming from people who lovingly refer to themselves as adults???
I'm fourteen and I have better grammar than some of these nonsensical fools.

Oops. In a blind rage, I managed to misspell thoroughly. See, people are addling my spelling! Soon I will be so dumbed down I'll be spelling words such as "is" and "a" wrong.

Okay, another thing to be said, I am not trying to insult people who have not fully learned english yet. I can understand their situation.
Also, to the fellow who told me to go to hell and that I am not cool:
You are the one who is overreacting, and of course I'm not cool. Other people my age are doing... whatever normal people do, and I am griping about poor typing.

Because this is a means of entertainment, there is no need to use proper grammar or spelling here. Some of us just do not care what others think of us on here.
And yes at work I pay more attention when I type, but here I could care less. As long as you can comprehend what I have said then I really dont care if I have spelled every word correctly.

Proper English? Grammar? SPELL CHECK?????
I like to spell things correctly and do at times use the spell check feature or try and verify my answer. People come here for fun, not always for educational or humanitarian reasons. At times some of my answers or questions are just to try and "crack" someone up. But heres something interesting...
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.

Whoa! That sounds kind of harsh. Some of these people come from a foreign country and they are writing the best way that they can. Maybe some are dyslexic or have severe reading problems. Others could be just lazy. However, we don't know one from the other so we have to be patient with them.I try to get people to read more so that they can be exposed to proper grammar and spelling. So don't be too harsh on people. Try to educate them if you can.

Yep, most of the posts, and therefore the people, on here are total retards. I'd put the actual percentage of retards at around 50%. Then you have the other half, of which 45% just don't give a damn and are at least marginally intelligent. The other 5% are both intelligent and phonetically superior, and they use their skills, a bit like me, except I'm in the top .0000001%.
Don't they have foreign language versions of this site?

Well said, my friend!
While I understand that there are people who don't speak english as a first language, I also understand that there are "ppl who don't wnt 2 type out hole werds an cant bothr to chek da speling". That was even annoying to type! I can't imagine what the world is like when the majority of people can't be bothered to type an entire word. It's a scary thought.

Who said anything about adults being on Yahoo! Answers? My guess is that the average age right now is 11, by the looks of the answers being given.

Many people do not have english as their first language, some doesn't even have it for their second language!
And if you use Opera webbrowser, the spell check in Yahoo Answeres doesn't work.
But I have to agree with you about the slang.
(I'm sorry about any bad grammatics and\or spelling)

Yes I will, I am not one of those not amazing spellers and I'm not an adult either. I think either they are going too fast,or they have a lot to write,or they aren't that smart. The last one is a bit rude and I apologize to all those loving adults.

The only possible explanation is the United States School system has failed. I have pondered this very thought for years and this is my conclusion.
