Why do so many people ask and answer questions here without using the spell check?

Question

I've noticed that many people who use this site obviously can't spell and yet they don't bother to use the spell check provided. It makes them look ignorant, careless and uneducated. Their questions/ answers are difficult to understand to the point of making them meaningless. Why would they do that?

Answer 1

Maybe there are people out there that just don't realize that spell check is available. Maybe Yahoo should find a way to make it more noticeable.

Answer 2

Whel, furst off, I'm not tryeng to appear educated or knowlegable. I'm just having fuhn. Some people are uneducated and ignorant and spell check won't help those Q and A's; spell check doesn't fix content, logic, or grammar.

Me thinks you take YA too seriously. Me? I'm just trying to see how long it takes to get to a thousand points and how many best answers I can score on the way.

The only time I use spell check is when I give an answer based on my career-based background. It's then that I do care how I am perceived.

Answer 3

It is rather selfish to make us understand some of the strangely spelled questions
I either answer , and hope i have interpreted the question correctly ,
Or i move swiftly on
Why worry
there are an endless supply of questions here that we can decipher easily

Mind you, it is diabolical , when My spell check is" unavailable" as some times happens

Especially when i have written a long and word some answer

ok here goes will the spell check work for me now ?

LOL!
YES!!

Answer 4

Wastes valuable seconds! Must ask as many questions as possible!

Also, many people try to cram as much lingo, abbreviations, emoticons, etc. as possible into their writing. When you do that, the spell check is a pain. Of course, the end result is often barely more than gibberish (and that's an insult to Gibbers everywhere).

Answer 5

Probably because they like to use the "short" way of Internet communication like "u r" etc.

Maybe some have and had far too many words wrong that they gave up. Not to mention the non-US writers, who would get words like colour, honour, litre, etc. marked as incorrect,

Answer 6

Its because most of them don't seek info. They just want to jack with other people so they don't care if their "question" is gibberish.

Answer 7

hey, who has the time???
after all, our brain only checks the first and last letters to understand the word, who cares about the ones in between?
PS: ur not my English teacher, r u?

Answer 8

because one they were rushing to answer and ask questions and they figure you know they are talking most of the time.
