Why do people who can't spell, ask questions (mostly silly questions)on this site and not take advantage of spell check? It really drives me nuts.

Even if I do have issues of my own it's not hard to check your spelling. Do people just not care if they sound stupid?

Oh me too!...Although sometimes it is funny to read their questions (and answers) literally...I find it entertaining...plus at first, when it bothered me I made some comment and received back a righteous reply along the lines of...'focus on the content not the typos'...poof...how can I focus on the content when the information is being relayed in a faulty and confusing manner?

On the internet no one really cares about their spelling. I mean what's the use, when answering questions and asking questions we are all just waisting time and doing absolutely nothing, so it's not important to check for spelling. Now, if it comes to doing business letters and stuff like that than it is important to check for spelling, but not when it comes to yahoo answers, and emailing your close friends.

Let's correct that problem. Maybe they don't understand what it means? Let's just make a concerted effort to tell them right up front, "Please click on "Check Spelling" before submitting a question.-Thanks.
Then we could answer or not answer their question, depending of course as to whether or not we understood their question.
By the way: Some sentences don't really require proper spelling:
Example: (An excerpt from one of my books)
"Aoccdrnig to a rsceearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae."

Confuse and lull the enemy then pounce? Hide your secret intelligence, but let a little come thru the communication? They are all 14 years old? They type too fast?

Because clicking that "Check Spelling" button is...just...so...hard! You know, it...just...makes...you nearly pull...that...shoulder blade...out of the...SOCKET!
And for the record, I almost always use the spell check. And it RARELY finds any spelling errors in my writings!
Score one for me!
