Yes. This is very rude.
When it comes to things for work, I am very much a spell check user. But sometimes people really need to relax.
There is a famous and true story called Sell not Spell. As I remember it, a new salesman came to a company and did not have good spelling. But he was a great businessman and had great ideas.
People complained about the notes he wrote the company and purchase orders etc.
Of course, the head of the company sent a famous memo around the company with misspelled words, basically saying the main point (content) was to do the job well and well, Sell not Spell.
You must realize that we live in a society of people with almost perfect lives and homes and all people care about is achievement. So this little quirk appears even on Yahoo! Answers which is supposed to be all in fun...
The Nazis strike again (this time with spelling)
Just ignore the spell check folks.

Honestly, when people do it over one little spelling mistake, I get annoyed. If the entire post is okay, and one word happens to be misspelled or misused, then just suck it up and get over it. I'm a writer, and I can do that. Even the best of us make mistakes every so often.
But I can understand people making remarks like that when someone completely butchers the English language. If an entire post looks like an MSN conversation between two fourteen year-old girls, then something is wrong, and it needs to be pointed out.
EDIT: For the love of Gord, how many people are going to correct the "does'nt" mistake? Several people have already corrected that one. If she doesn't get it by now, she probably isn't going to get it! lol

Doesn't bother me at all; weeds out some of the real idiots as well.
It's especially well said when the question is inarticulate, racist, bigoted or just plain poorly thought out. Hopefully by using Check Spell, one might realize how terrible their grammar is, and perhaps enable them to make an intelligible question.
You probably get that a lot, and are pissed that you can't come up with a decent question, or construct one that doesn't draw spelling and grammar criticism. Try harder, we will continue to be the Spelling Police.

No. Because proper spelling and grammar make it easier to read and understand what you"re saying.
And by the way, its "Doesn't" not "Does'nt" Because its a contraction. Since you're combining the words "Does" and "Not" when you take the "O" out of not, you place the apostrophe there..

No, I don't agree with you. I hate to see people make so MANY spelling errors because it makes them look like a complete dumbass, and who respects a dumbass? They're usually the ones who are rude and obnoxious.
Anyway, just to help you out, the word is "doesn't." In addition, beginning this sentence off with "Doesn't" is awkward. Also, "anyone" should be written together. Plus, a comma goes after "say," and the exclamation point isn't necessary--just use a comma instead. Now, we're grammatically correct!

no. i am an advocate of correct spelling and grammar. i tell people to use spell check, or to look things up in the dictionary all the time. there is no reason for people, this day in age, to be grammatically retarded. i hate when people don't use spell check, or use words incorrectly.
and to point out the obvious, as did everyone else, it's doesn't.

No, but poor spelling and grammar are pretty irritating.
It isn't hard to click on that little "Check Spelling" button.

well I get really annoyed when people expect you to answer their question and their spelling/grammar is so bad that you cannot even understand the question you are supposed to be answering. I think it also disgraces the English language to butcher it
