I can understand spelling errors now and then, sure. Sometimes, in a blasted hurry, I mangle a sentence. And, as an aphasic person, to me any language is forever a chore. But, still and all, wouldn't you think that there's one word in particular which Christian folk should never let be in error?
Why, then, am I seeing "believe" spelled "belive" so often? Honestly, the long and the short of it is that I have more important things cooking, as no doubt you do as well, but it kind of stands out when a person who claims to be a Christian says she or he 'belives' in god...or 'I belive in Jesus.' Sorry for the schoolmarm stance, truly I am. It's not really me.

You have to remember Y!A is global. There are many people here for whom english is not their first language, and may not be very good at it. A spell check won't really help if they don't know what the option words mean.

hi, i'm uncertain what you propose by making use of a desirable language. English has a extremely person-friendly grammar, it incredibly is totally versatile, it has a extensive vocabulary, it incredibly is precise, and it incredibly is able to super subtlety. So it incredibly is desirable interior the sense that a equipment of mathematical equations is desirable. Does it pass with the smoothness of a babbling brook and are the sounds melodious and musical? properly, no. In that sense i assume it is not desirable. My well-liked language is English in view that i'm able to maximum effectively use it to enable human beings understand on the subject of the guy who lives interior this physique. formeng

And with that lovely "check spelling button" right there too!
Should YA make it an opt-out thing rather than an opt-in one?
It might reduce a lot of blood pressure, though I probably wouldn't collect any more different ways to spell ateist
People would still be free to loose they're religion.
(Unfortunately).

I couldn't agree with you more. Language is the tool with which we communicate; when we consistently fail in our use of language, we ultimately fail to communicate. I find the poor spelling of "believe" and of the word "Christian" itself to be appalling, but not so appalling as the lack of understanding of the necessity of CLEAR communication.

So, you're perturbed that Christians don't notice their typos?
Does the incorrect use of your, you're, and ur bug you too?
And, no English is not a beautiful language (at least in America) anymore.

It's hardly surprising, as you are talking about a bunch of ignorant religious fruitcakes who live in a bubble of denial..
What did you expect..?
