Do you know how to spell or are you taking the easy way out?

Question

Some of the questions do not make sense. Cuz u spll things without intelligence. We are here to have fun but when your question cannot be read because you are too lazy to spell right, how do you expect an intellligent answer. My spelling is not good but at least they are not attempted short cuts.

Answer 1

I have been praying for someone to ask that question. I am far from being an expert on sentence structure, spelling and punctuation, but I use spell check and re- read my comments to make sure it sounds correct and understandable before I post it. It just never ceases to amaze me at how absolutely unskilled and uneducated some of the questioners and responders are.

I see questions on here that are often complex in nature, so one would think that there is an intelligence at the other end. That is until you really read the question. Every other word is garbled or misspelled and often times renders the question anything but understandable.

Good question. Let's hope we can raise the level of the writing skills required to make a marginal attempt at communication. I often respond to some of them simply with, "It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

Answer 2

OK, spelling is a tricky thing here... that's because we r typing too fast without paying attention and mistakes occur. when the answer/question is long and u forget to "check spelling" at the end, there r many chances that u have misspelled sth or even wrote sth that doesn't make sense! Don't forget that many users are not native speakers (me for one) and that, in other languages mainly where accents must be used, the keyboard isn't set up for that (i always have problems with french since in Q/A i haven't still found out how to put the accents since it's not like Word).
i don't want to believe that people intentionally write things that do not make sense...
P.S. now i will do my "check spelling" and submit my answer....

Answer 3

Yes Granny, there is a lot of "Guessing" going on when you read some of these questions, But I do believe these little "YOUNG ONES" Have figured out a Personal Code. Huh? Either that, Or Like You Declared>>some don't know how to Spell! (smile) I'll agree, there Are "No Short Cuts" In Yours, Dear!
"THIS IS A WONDERFUL DECLARATION"

Answer 4

I think it's due to too many instant messaging shortcuts (like you put cuz instead of because, u instead of you, spll instead of spell) , and not learning phonics (or how words sound) in grade school.
