Does there seem to be a lot of people on this site. Who have no idea of how to spell or use Proper English?

Ah, the fade of the English language from our society...
tut, tut.
It drives me mad.
And often the people answering these questions contradict their opinions by spelling things wrong, using incorrect punctuation, and making grammatical errors along with everyone else.
Do they see it? Do they see the Spell Checker just above where they write their answers?!
ugh.

Is it just me or did your grammar seem to be a little off as well? Here, I'll rephrase your question so that it is grammatically correct:
"Does there seem to be a lot of people on this site who have no idea of how to spell or use proper English?"
I think it's kind of sad when people criticize other people for doing something that they do while they're in the process of criticising them!

1. is it just me or??? is not a proper sentence at all.
2. does there seem to be a lot of people on this site should end with an interrogation mark like this"?".
3.who have no idea...etc is a clause which you can't begin without a Principal Clause.
is it the "pot calling the kettle black" case?
actually,the answer to your question is yes. Most people do not even spell properly here!

There are quite a lot of them. Some of them are from different countries so you can excuse them not using Proper English (they are trying) but they should use "Check Spelling".

I think you should be included in that group...not because your spelling is poor, but because your post is riddled with grammar, punctuation and formatting errors:
You should have started the first line of your "additional information" section with a lower case "d" in the word "does".
Replace "a lot" with "a large number".
There should be no period after "site".
"Who" should not be capitalized.
Take the "of" out of the sentence (before "how to spell").

It's not that it's just that you are trying to type very fast. And no one bothers to use the spell check. Especially when it looks like you are the first person to answer a question. Now the people that ask the questions. There is no excuse for them.

Yes, omg I totaly agree with you. I think many people on this site are in the 11-14 year old range and just dont really know how to spell or write properly.

Wow. This question is asked often. And unfortunately, I am always inclined to give the same response: the English found on Yahoo! Answers is better than that of our president's.

Many people on this site are probably children or just plain lazy to type it correctly.
