I really don't understand why people ask questions on here that are near impossible to understand because it sounds like Cookie Monster worded the question. I see things like:
Me want WEP secure?

It's much worse than that typically, but how can one expect an answer to such a nonsensical question?

Pffft... I know. Kids these days. Sound like sarcasm, but I am serious. My fiance is a high school teacher and sometimes I help him mark assignments. It's not just on here. They simply have no grasp of the English language at all. Some of them even mis-spell their own names. A capital letter, what is that? What do you mean I have to use words such as and and I to join my sentences? The scary thing is that it's not the assignments written really badly that are uncommon, it is the ones you can actually understand. I am only 22, but I was taught how to use English. I'm not sure what went wrong between my generation and theirs but what hope does the future hold for a generation who cannot make themselves understood?

Many users of Yahoo answers are not English speakers. English is their second, or third langauge. Their attempt at English phrases and sentence structure can be hindered because in their native language the way they word things is how they usually do word things. I commend many users for getting the point across, when sometimes language barriers prevent it. Good thing Yoda isn't asking us questions--My hard drive, defrag I should? It's understandable! Not nonsensical!

Some people don't take the time to proofread after they type and everybody does not have a command of the English language written or oral! Peace!

a lot of people are new and just don't know what to call things. that's because they didn't read the great book i read when i started.

windows xp for dummies
windows vista for dummies

my little sister told me to read windows 95 for dummies and to experiment with my new computer for a month before i got on the web. i'm sure glad i did that. i was so happy i didn't pick on her for a whole month. here she is.

Isn't it possible that some are people who speak English as a second language?
