No you're not. But a couple things: If you post something like that you have to be perfect or else they attack (so using no capital letters and abbreviations didn't help the cause) Also, because what I've found is that basically people are lazy and are willing to do enough to just get by (and by getting by I mean earning their 2 points for any question they want to horn in on) if confronted with what could be construed as asking for manners, correct spelling or grammer, or just general basic command of the English Language, they get extremely defensive and will tell you it's your fault that you want answers in English. Once when I requested a moratorium on abbreviations, I was told I was "pissy" "stupid" "ignorant of the times" (although that was spelled "ignnant of the time") and that I should grit my teeth and get with the new world, or just ignore Yahoo answers altogether if I didn't "get it" bcuz thts wat ppl du now. So that was nice...

You know what annoys me? People that complain about grammar and then incorrectly use grammar throughout their whole sentence. Oh, wait! That's you!

I really have a hard time reading or even understanding a question due to grammar.

I do too. The spelling and grammar bothers me. Do people not know what spell check is? It is offered, ya know.

No I am also pee'd off about it but the majority of those people do not have english as their first language so its understandable that their grammer is a bit off.
Still annoying though. >.<"

I get annoyed as well. Especially when you can hardly read it. Sure it is okay in a text but not on the Internet.

hey even i get annoyed...some people just use the worst grammar they could ever think of...which really chages the meaning of the question they ask.

nope it dont bother me, i know a lot of people use abbrev when typing, and even though some people are uneducated with correct spelling etc, it dont bother me, let them enjoy asking and answering as well, and be a part of it all. lets all Be more tolerant and understanding!

I see them but I just let them be. I find that it is not okay but I did not let it bother me. I do not want to get affected by it because for it, this is but a game. :)

does it really matter? its not anything formal - not a test!!
some people (me included) do this at night - who cares about grammer and spelling when your half asleep
we have enough instances in life where grammer and spelling matter - this isnt one of them
