I doesn't no whut yur tahkin about.
LOL j/k, yes I agree...but I've come to realize that many of the questions are posted by people for whom English is their second language. But I applaud them for trying to stick to the guidelines (that say that we are to post questions in English only)...but it still is hard to understand them sometimes. Something gets "lost in translation" I guess. :)

Did you notice that little Answers International footing at the bottom of the page, with all the country's flags. It means that we are getting questions from all those countries, brought into the mix sometimes. Some of those people practise their (not very good) English on us. I find it charming. I like it a lot better than trying to decipher the short speak of those using text messaging. So, honey, tolerance okay? Just think of yourself as doing a little bit of teaching of English as a Second Language.

Yes, i think a lot of people need grammar tutorials. Some people are not as educated as others though. Its best not to be picky, people are just looking for answers (good ones for the most part). Good question though!

I agree with you. The use of grammar, on this site is terrible. But you have to remember some are very young. And choose to use symbols etc. To write there questions ans answers.

You am correct. Me doesn't understand folks who's talking not too good or straight. A headache to me it gives.

(I really do know proper grammar. I was just trying to get on your nerves. Did it work? LOL...)

Drives me nuts too. Received an answer from someone that said they were a teacher, and they spelt every second word wrong. So maybe that is why no one can spell, or use correct grammer

Last time I checked punctuation and capitalization were part of grammer, so one shouldn't throw stones at glass houses.

i think some do because they go way out were they write 3 words just using 2 letters and its so confusing but words like: r, u ,brb,etc. are ok

Yeah, I do appreciate it when I can read what someone writes to me... and if the question was important, they should have made it readable.

they just don't care enough. I agree with you!!!!! Thats what the "preview" stage is for so you can make sure it's understandable.. I don't get it!
