What's with the spelling?

Question

Does anyone know how to spell properly, and use grammar correctly anymore? For goodness sakes, there is even a spell checker there, and hardly any questions I have come across have no spelling mistakes!

Answer 2

Make sure that you can use correct grammar before asking that question. Allow me to help with this task (errors are marked with parenthesises).

Does anyone know how to spell properly, (and) use grammar correctly anymore? For goodness sake(s), there is even a spell checker (there), and hardly any questions I have come across have no spelling mistakes!

On a lighter note, your spelling seems fine and your grammar is better than most people on here. I just thought since you were criticizing people's grammar, you should be held accountable for your grammar. Feel free to hold me accountable for my critique of your grammar. I am sure there are a few. My point is everyone misspells words, and/or uses grammar incorrectly.

i'm a translator and proofreader yet i do not desirable human beings on the internet until eventually requested to because those which at the instantaneous are not linguistically minded do exactly not care, that is a waste of time, and it purely receives on their nerves. That stated, unfavourable grammar, spelling, and punctuation is disturbingly wide-spread by the internet, human beings see it, and, understanding no extra efficient, reproduction it; and so the vicious circle is going on until eventually unfavourable English is the norm (if this is no longer already). i'd ought to end my interest to desirable each of the mistakes I see in an afternoon's surfing: this web page is finished of mistakes (no longer including the intentional ones), as many from the preachers of excellent grammar as from the defenders of illiteracy; the shortcoming or overuse of the apostrophe being the worst (2 Weeks' be conscious or 2 Weeks be conscious? sure, even Warner Bros get it incorrect, so what desire for something else human beings?). And what do we do even as even respected web content like the BBC are rife with mistakes? by how, the spell examine is useful yet no longer desirable. I pretty a lot placed "extremely my interest" because my fingers are continually racing ahead typing consumer-friendly words earlier my mind reaches them to inform them what they ought to genuinely be typing. The spell examine don't have picked that up. It likely would not p.c.. up all unfavourable punctuation both, e.g. the version between this is and its. This web site is genuinely no longer that undesirable compared to many forums i have considered, so possibly some tolerance might want to be exercised.

I'm not the smartest person in the world , I miss spell words and use phrases in the wrong way all the time .when i read some of the stuff that the youth of our nation say or write I feel like I'm not doing to bad.Call it slang or whatever you want,if some were to use that time for other things like school instead of trying to find out how many different ways to spell cause education would be alot better. Try filling out a job application when all that nonsense and see how far it its.

the digital age as in IM and Messenger that shortens everything and then the kids try to do this in papers they write. spell check is great - as long as you used the proper word in the sentence. If you spell too, to, or two correctly but use it incorrectly in a sentence what good is spell check. Laziness and lack of pride in your work.

Answer 7

I agree with you, and I think it is horrible. People slaughter the language, and they don't even take the time to use the spell chicker that is provided to them. I hate it when I see questions that have spelling mistakes, or the people are just being lazy. Such as, this being typed as dis. That bothers me immensely. I'm glad that someone else agrees.

Answer 8

I always use spell check when I know I've made a spelling mistake.
