I like to answer more math questions, and when they can't even spell what they are asking, it makes me not want to answer their freaking question. Also, some other stupid questions might be, "graph this or draw this". Do you really think we are going to go out of our way to set up a file to show you how "we graphed or drew this" to answer your question, it is not worth the 10 points! Another thing to remember, when giving data in your question, make sure that all of it can be seen. No wonder nobody answers the question when not all the info is there. Think about what is displayed before you hit the submit button, Hello! I realize that all of us could help you guys if this problem were noticed...
My question is, "How do we let these people know how to fix this annoying situation?"
Like your thoughts....

I'm actually more concerned with mathematical ambiguity than spelling. x^2 + 4x + 3/x + 3, for example, can mean two (or more) separate things.
Sometimes English isn't a person's first language and may not spell things properly because of that, but if I can comprehend what they're saying I'm willing to accept it. Let the English teachers and spelling perfectionists tell them about their spelling; I'm more concerned about helping them in math.

i'm so happy you asked this question. I even have puzzled myself no count if some are being, "lovable", or too lazy to end a sentence wisely, or in keeping with risk it is the extra youthful units' new technique of hitch a definite group. like it is 'cool' to no longer could write wisely. I had a chum from England loose interest in staying in YA by way of human beings who did no longer understand the thank you to spell, as he placed it. He felt there became an uneducated 'lot' who purely did no longer care to harass writing wisely. i think of he's splendid. so which you sense such as you're answering sons and daughters 0.5 the time. it is undesirable adequate, that many questions mirror a childs mentality. which will purely assume they are teenagers. splendid?

It hasn't got anything to do with questions; an awful lot of people simply can't spell. I theorize that they can't spell because they don't read, and seldom actually SEE the words they use.
As for math problems - I answer a fair number of those as well; if I can guide someone to an existing diagram online, then that's about as much as I'm willing to do; I'm not here to do their homework for them, although I'll do my best to help if I get the feeling that they've tried and are stumped.

Why incorrect spelling? I should think the answer is obvious; some people can't spell. Also remember that there are national differences. 'Centre, colour' in Britain, 'center, color' in U.S. etc.
My pet beef is that full answers are given, instead of help to let the questioner find the answer for themselves.

For the most part, the people asking those questions want you to do their homework for them. I don't bother with those kind of questions, because they don't even bother to present their questions logically. Even if you are that desperate for points, these people never pick a best answer. It is truly annoying.

Total agreement. My own pet peeve is opening a question and finding eight different problems.

Learning how to spell, read, and do simple arithmetic takes too much time away from doing drugs, listening to rap "music," and trying to find some like-minded female to have sex with.
"Our leaders of tomorrow......." God help us all!!!!!
