can you please when asking questions?

Question

try and make sense? i don't care if you don't spell good or use proper grammar, but at least put down complete thoughts and use somewhat proper english. i don't even read questions where the asker felt it was ok to leave out words like "it", "so", etc..

this isn't a search engine.

and i won't read questions that use "dat" or "dem".

why are you so lazy, huh? my 12 year old sister writes better than many of these questions...............

i wasn't gonna add this, but i guess i really am peevish: i added good instead of well to make my point geniuses. the while point was no one is perfect, but at least try to make some sense. "put egg in pot" is ok. but went park play ball wit friends, wife though s crazy annoys and confuses me. i don't care if you use wit or dem a little, but not so much that i don't know what the hell you're talking about. read between the lines.... and don't skip 2 when you're asking for help.

Answer 1

I completely understand. I am studying to be an English teacher and misspelled words and incorrect use of grammar drive me nuts. I have to refrain from correcting everybody that does it. But, like any human being, I'm not perfect and I make mistakes occasionally, too.

P.S. I don't bother wasting my time trying to understand questions that are not clear in what they are asking. If I don't understand it the first time I read it, it's not worth my time.

Answer 2

I had some difficulty reading your question. There were a lot of spelling and grammatical errors making it hard to read. I think I understand your question and your suggestion. It would be nice if the questioners wrote in proper English. I doubt if that will happen. One answer would be not to even answer the questions. Let them sit and sit. Maybe the questioners will get the point, probably not. But, we won't waste our time trying to figure out the questions and correcting their English.

Answer 3

I completely agree. Some people just don't seem to realize that their questions only make sense in their mind, and not to the other people that are reading it.

In their words, "Dem's stoopid questions and dat aint right"

to that...I just say, "Word up"

Answer 4

I finally figured out most of the reason that people use funky spellings/grammar is because they live in a text messaging world, where these abbreviations and shortcuts are commonplace.

"Dem & dat" has one less letter each than the words "them" and "that." "R" for are, "2" for to or too, "U" for "you"...etc.
It's actually pretty efficient, and I think to complain about it just shows your age and lack of familiarity w/recent technology.

Like you, I prefer traditional spelling and correct grammar, but U rly need 2 stop lettg ths bothr U. Ppl R gonna do wt dey wnt regardless v whthr r nt U R down widdit, thnk it sux, r thnk itz gr8. Gd Luk widdat.

Answer 5

i hate to tell you this, but your question won't do any good. i've made fun of people on here with the way they spell and try to sound in the answers i give. it's irritating, but really not worth getting upset over.

Answer 6

This is much more efficient then saying that to every question your talking about.

Answer 7

Legitimate complaint.

Answer 8

I don't think you understand that there are people out there that have learning disability's and they have a problem with leaving out words!!!

Answer 9

You are my new hero!

Won't do any good, but I love the question...
