Has anyone ever wondered why some people ask for the definition of some words. I mean, you got a countless amount of online dictionaries out there, like dictionary.com or m-w.com to name a few. Why can't they just go look it up themselves and save 5 points? Anybody ever figure out that anomaly?

If someone can't afford a computer to look stuff up, then how do they post the question. Seems like more trouble!

What does anomaly mean?

The problem is, if one can't spell the word, how does one look it up in a dictionary ?
So, a Phonetic Dictionary was introduced.
Most youngsters don't even know what that means - so the simple answer is to ask strangers !
**If people used Spell Checkers either here or on their computors, they'd soon learn how to spell.

People are probably bored so they hop on the yahoo questions and ask. Personally I find it just as easy to hunt it down via the www

Maybe they like to see what people think what it means. It actually can mean different things to different people. Then again, it could be laziness though.

i imagine, that's totally the false impression about the guy with the words, because, people supplies the authentic to the Meanings of the words somewhat than the Emotion of the Human, Who Cursed the words.

maybe they looked at a dictionary already and the definition still wasn't clear to them
or maybe they are padding their friend's points

Sheer laziness or perhaps ignorance of the existence of these websites.

.Stupidity and laziness. They haven't a clue how to use a dictionary or know what one is.

Maybe its because they are having more fun to ask on line.
