Okay not everyone on here does that but at least 89% percent of the questions are not even in question form???
Why is it so hard to do? I can't even blame it on young people, some mature adults on here do it too. Why?

Why can't the Yahoo people form a simple query?
Is it all beyond them, or are they simply wary
Of writing in a language I'm afraid they'll never get--
Oh, why can't the Yahoo people learn to set
a question down that is grammatically concise?
(some folks actually do write clear questions, but, then again, not many of them are nice)
I quite agree.

Too many barely-literate people have access to a computer and an Internet connection.
My pet peeve is with people who use multiple question and exclamation marks; a well-crafted sentence only needs a single question or exclamation mark!

My guess is that some view this as kind of a blog and want to share an opinion more than ask a question.

I think it's internet-speak; it's almost a form of grammar that's acceptable here, and nowhere else. That's not to say I don't find it irritating, but it seems to be a fact of life, so what can you do?

You can probably make an educated guess about the answer just by looking at the responses you got.

Some are not native English speakers. Some are illiterate. Some are lazy.

I agree. This is supposed to be about answering questions, so please ask a question, that is legible and clear for everyone to answer!

its easy with phrases: just replace '.' with '?'
for e.g "go home."
"go home?", "i did it." "i did it?"...
