ling, punctuation, language, etc. Is this the current protocol? Or are there just a bunch of illiterates who do this kind of thing. I'm truly serious; bring on the abuse if you must. I just want to know if I'm belaboring a mute point. Thanx?

You were kidding with your own spelling mistakes, right?

I too have discovered that many people on this site seem to have elementary grammar skills. I would not expect people to be perfect writers but come on it's not that difficult to use the spell check located at the top right of this little box we type in. Or some people just do not seem to care.
Unfortunately, in the Internet world where emails and typed messages are sent back and forth to one another it's hard not to judge a person by the way they are typing.
Try to clean it up a little people.

It's actually a mix of everything. There are some people who don't know how to use correct grammar. There are people who are too lazy to communicate using proper grammar. If you spell a word that Yahoo Answers considers improper, the word will not appear in the question/answer.

I think that you have a very valid point. I think that online forums, chat and IM have made people forget the importance of the English language. If they abbreviate words to save time, then why don't people learn to type faster?

Haha...I asked the same question, basically (click on my "picture" and check out my questions to see what people said.) It really is pretty frightening. I'm just having to hope that there are a lot of 8 year olds out there masquerading as adults :)

As far as I know, it's only protocol for those who don't know what they're doing in the first place, or those who are too lazy to care.

It is horrible. There is the excusable cultural divide, but there many examples of poor grammar, over-coding, and indecipherable language.

Why don't you start some kind of group if you don't like it. Otherwise, you point is mute.
