why are some users focusing more on grammar and spelling instead answering what the real question is....?

Answer 1

Because they think by correcting others, it shows that they are superior in their knowledge. They are just trying to show off, and distract you from the realization that they don't know the answer.

Answer 2

Spelling is a strong component of reading, reading is translated into spoken words, compared with the understanding of braille by the reader. Garbage in garbage out.
Why not spell correctly, take the time to be clearly understood? Maybe the answer is also a mystery because of poorly formulated thoughts at the root of a question. That is my opinion.

Answer 3

garbage in garbage out, is as good a simile as any I could think of. If you cannot take the time to compose and spell carefully and thoughtfully, I very much doubt you can think carefully and thoughtfully, in which case, I have little use for the question. Why waste my answers on someone that cannot even compose a decent question?
