Why are so many questions on this message board illegibly written?

Question

I'm not referring to the computer-type spelling such as - ur, or ppl, etc. It just seems as if so many of the questions and answers on this board have mispellings, are grammatically incorrect and are basically incoherent. What is going on - why can't people write? It makes people appear ignorant and it's a little scary how prevalent it is.

Answer 1

Because most of the people on here are minors - and not supposed to be here, I might add. They are pretty stupid, these days. I wasn't even a fraction that stupid when I was a teen.

Answer 2

Kind of a slam of the current education system isn't it? I myself am not particularly adept in English, however I do know the difference between there, their, and they're. Its surprising how few in here are. Indeed there are many who don't seem to realize there is a spell checker on this site.

Answer 3

A lot of questions are posted via SMS (cellphones or P2P devices); others are may be in a rush and throw grammatics out the window.

And some are zoned out on hard illegal drugs and/or are seriously ill mentally, too.

Answer 4

Yes, it amazes me too. A bit scary if those are the ones that will have to keep a country going in less than a decade...

Answer 5

I totally understand what you are saying, there are so many people on this site that can't spell or speak english properly and it makes me so mad.

Answer 6

Grammer is losing out in the battle for education.

Answer 7

maybe they are all from Texas.... or possibly they don't know how to use the check spelling thing right above your answer as you are typing it in...
