When I ask a question and then get a good answer from a very poor speller, can I trust the answer?

Answer 1

Ill admit my spelling isnt as good as it could be but I find alot of the time its because my mind is going faster than my fingers lol. If the answer is a good answer it doesnt matter about the spelling. This isnt school and its not for a grade.

Answer 2

do you understand how irrational spelling can be... and often the spell checks don't work... some very smart people are somewhat dyslexic so often the best of answers would come from bad spellers... it took me years of focus to overcome and be particular about my words so I could be heard and understood.. so my words would have credibility... In my life it has taken me 6 hours to write a simple business letter, it was like a full time job without pay being this accurate...and it becomes very stressful just to attempt to write some days... I still have a hard time writing by hand because I don't have the spell check back up... so yes trust it... they see the answers without the overly anal need to drive themselves nuts over spelling.

Answer 3

Can you really truly rely on any answer in here? I like to verify my answers if I'm looking for factual information. If I ask for opinions or interpretations ... it's whatever makes sense.
People have different skills. A person that relates to people and can speak well may have minimal written communication skills. I'm just the opposite. I write well but stutter and fumble with words a lot when I talk.
In short, a person's spelling ability doesn't really diminish the worth of what is trying to be conveyed.
(If you can understand it ... I had a one answer once that may well have been the best because it actually responded directly to my question. It was six lines with no periods or commas and I read it six times before picking a different best answer.)

Answer 4

Since yahoo answers are coming from various parts of the globe including from those places where english is not the main language . . . we should be able to consider the contents rather than the spellings

If you feel the answer is best, just see the contents and not just the grammer or spellings. Because what is more important is the solution rather than the physical language appearence

Answer 5

It's all variable. What was the question...and, yes , I think life experience does count more than spelling. There are a lot of people not able to have a "complete" education because of money or family and some very, very bad teachers. I also think there are a lot of lazy people not doing spell check or who think they are "in" with poor grammar.

Answer 6

on occasion human beings merely style directly without taking the time to easily right suited spelling and grammar. It does not unavoidably imply they are stupid. I do it each and all the time and that i've got been given a ninety% on the Mensa front attempt. If somebody have been writing a singular or a screenplay and printed their artwork crammed with grammatical and spelling blunders then yeah, that would desire to song at illiteracy and stupidity. yet texting and information superhighway conversations are different.

Answer 7

Of course. There is a huge difference between Intelligence and wisdom. Someone who spells correctly may be a genius, but might not have a lot of life experience. Just because you're not intelligent doesn't mean you aren't wise.

Answer 8

You just said it was a good answer, spelling doesn't matter much to me but.... If it was a bad answer with bad spelling disregard, lol. Don't trust many people on the Net anyway.

Answer 9

I have a couple of intelligent friends that are horrific spellers, so I would say yes. You never know they could be dyslexic.

Answer 10

Some people who can't spell may only have a learning disability, then again, maybe they don't really care how they communicate so why would they care about your question? It is a question only you can answer.
