What's with all the goofy abbreviations, bad grammar and spelling mistakes. Do people not care about what they say, how they say it or appearing uneducated? Yahoo offers a check spelling ability when posting, why not use it? Are people really that lazy?

I've often wondered this one myself. Yes, people are lazy and don't take pride in their work, even if it's just answering a question on yahoo.

I'm completely with you on this issue. I find it ironic, however, that in your complaint about bad grammar you had two errors. Your list in the second sentence is not parallel, and your Yahoo sentence is a run-on.

perhaps!
and perhaps they DO use the spell-check...maybe the spell-check doesn't catch every mistake.
I've often noticed a decline in grammatical correctness among people...teens in particular. Perhaps they're not speaking (or typing) correctly because they just don't know how to...
Maybe your question should be directed to the public school systems...

Who bloody cares! I'm sick of all these pompous condescending idiots correcting my spelling, I don't really care, is this really what this forum is about? It isn't smart, it's just irritating.

Well Mister, the meaning of 'correct' is relative.

I am not sure why, but it also bothers me too, especially the horrible grammar.
