Actually this isn't a joke; I made a mistake, but so many on here do it routinely!

To all those harping on my mistake, that was ONE mistake, in ONE post. Many people on here sound/read as if they just got off the boat, DESPITE the fact that English is taught all over the world now.

Oh, and to fdm, I don't care if you find it rude; if you don't like it, don't answer my question.

Because society is becoming less literate with every day. It's rather sad, really.

The crack about the Honduran maid is rude and uncalled for...

I think most people simply don't bother to proof or spell check their posts. They don't think it's worth their time to produce literate posts!

Some of my poor gramatical structure in sentances may have been spurred from a limited number of letters allotted, and some of it may be caused from a refusal to speak in propper english when not in english class. My spelling , well it just sucks naturally. If you are reffering to the endless amounts of questions that are phrased in truely idiotic ways, theres you already have your answer, they are idiots. lol, sorry , not much of worth to say on this one...

You need a crash course in grammar as well. Should read as:

Why do so many people in here not write with proper English? So many people in here write as if they were taught English from their Honduras maid. For heaven's sake, proofreed people!

So how'd you manage to get the "d" word past the Y! Answers censors? It might help to realize that English isn't spoken in the U.S. We speak American - big difference!

Dude, you suck too. If I were to ask a question regarding people's poor grammar and spelling, I would make damn sure mine was 100% correct. Now you just look like an asss.

How do you write on here? Is it a new trick? All I know how to do is type my answer then send it.
