Maybe it's because they rather be rude than answer the question.
Oh, and it's "that's the question, do all the grammar Nazis understand it now".
Sorry, I couldn't stop myself from correcting you.

I never report anyone for poor grammar. I do, though, skip the question if I can't make out what the person is writing or asking, which is frustrating because sometimes the people with the poorest spelling and grammar errors have good questions.
The thing about grammar is that people shouldn't make fun of the smallest error (you have a few in your question), but when the grammar and/or spelling gets in the way of communication (the writer is trying to accomplish a task) then the burden is on the writer to clarify.
I don't how much you have been picked upon to call people who care about grammar "grammar Nazis", but communication is the key.
I am a former newspaper writer and current English teacher and I once had one of my Journalism students call me "anal" because I insisted that everything be spelled correctly in a school newspaper. It was her name on that newspaper, and like or not, people would think she is uneducated or illiterate if she didn't make sure everything was spelled correctly.
Like it or not, people are judged by their writing skills when that is the medium they are using to communicate. Bad spelling or grammar in a forum like this might get you a few complaints; make it in school and it might result in a bad grade. But bad grammar or spelling in the worksite can get you demoted and/or fired. Edit your stuff before you send it out.
Something to think about!

For the main section, via fact that's not basic (no longer that I do it, yet I comprehend it). there are a number of us out right here who paintings to apply our language properly, and comprehend that it is not that confusing for others to attain this. specially, while a gadget is presented to help us all with this, then i will purely assume that the guy who avoids utilising that's even much less clever than the guy who basically will no longer be able to spell. It would not take too long...before everything, it oftentimes takes approximately 5 seconds, and secondly, it might desire to grant help to steer away from the individuals who whinge approximately your grammar & spelling. nicely, i'd say that in case you comprehend the grammar, then use it! Do you incredibly, incredibly, desire giving the impression which you have the intelligence of a rock? Do you truthfully care so little approximately how others % you? in this online worldwide we live in, one would think of that your image would be greater considerable to you. in case you do no longer purely like the outcomes you're getting, then you definately would evaluate changing your procedures. you would be able to desire to steer away from the "correcters" via utilising your expertise, to boot as your kit. Alternately, while you're no longer prepared to alter, then attempt to comprehend which you're leaving your self open to criticism. Edit: Er...the place replace into that confident/no question? or perhaps an answer to a confident/no question?

As we were ALL taught in school.. . People will judge you according to the words you use . Your grasp of the English language is your key to educational respect . Well, that's what they taught us all . I hope this helps you in the future . Some folks spelling and grammar is 'not so good' and for others. . . it's terrible . Right now you fall somewhere in between . Not terrible. . . but could use some improvement .

Sometimes the question is impossible to understand because the grammar and spelling are so bad.

I think the problem is this: When the grammar and spelling is so bad, the reader cannot understand the question.
It is the posters duty to make sure he is using proper grammer, capitlization, punctuation and spelling so that the question appears clear and concise.
I, for instance, barely understand what you have written here.
