Do people read what they write before they post it?

Question

Do you use the spell check and actually read what you write? Some of these people write stuff that is unreal to try to read. What do you people think?

I'm not trying to be picky. I know everyone messes up. Me included. I'm talking about the ones that you just sit there and say WHAT?! The ones that are sooo terrible that no one can understand them.

Answer 1

People who do not re-read what they have written really should. I do it every single time. Not only to be curteous to the person who asked the question, but it is also a good habit to practice. It is obvious that many people that answer/ask questions on here do not do that, and they end up looking really idiotic.

Answer 2

OH I defiantly use spell check. It's so annoying when people use chat speak for this kind of thing. I mean if you want an answer to a question at least sound smart so people want to respect you. But I understand that some people have bad grammar and I can respect that, it was my most hated part of English.

Answer 3

I read what i write. I stoped using the spell checker,since I've improved my English.People write from all over the world.Someones English isn't that great,but try to be as tolerate as possible. Have a nice day! ☺

Answer 4

No. And I think the spell check might be confused. Many teens and even adults use sh*t like "u" for "you", "teh" for "the", "z" in place of "s", and others. The list is so long I could use half my given space in this answering box or more listing them all. That plus horrible spelling skills and lazyness makes for an unreadable question.

Answer 5

Sometimes I do, but not always. I typically use spell check though.

I think that you are right. There are a lot of people out there that do not read what they just wrote before sending.

Answer 6

this is site open to the world so not everyone is going to speak english...... so maybe there might be some errors there

for me personally, i dont really bother to add apostrophes or use capital letters.

just dont find it necessary

i guess maybe people like to write on this site how they speak in conversation..... making grammar less important

Answer 7

Obviously not, I mean, you can't read any of it, unless you are of their generation. But, there have already been about 20 million questions that are asking what you just asked so why are you asking it again?

Answer 8

I type and read at the same time so u can tell when I'm not reading if you see 'hte' instead of the

Answer 9

I do agree that some questions and answers are impossible.I can understand minor mistakes but come on,some aren't even close to readable. >.<

Answer 10

i do read it but i must admit that my english sometimes just isn't good enough to make sense...
if you want to ask specific questions it is hard to do if english is not your mothertongue....
