Does no one ever use the "check spelling" feature before they submit their questions? I'm no genius, but I'm sure that they have gone through some sort of schooling and should have practiced spelling. No one seems to spell correctly anymore, what with all the internet spelling...or mis-spelling that's taking place. What do you think?

... and then there's the scary way some posters seem to be combining text message style spelling with appalling syntax!
I make spelling errors sometimes but the way some people spell and write I can now understand how some English teachers end up as totally obsessed language freaks!
It's post-traumatic!
Folks colloquial English doesnt have to be totally lacking in style or grace.
Sure write in colloquial Englsih if you want to but its still gotta be understandable!
This is why we have a spelling standard that's a compromise between phonetics and history ... so we can have a consensus that people from varying backgrounds can learn to understand and read and write in regardless of whatever form or dialect of English you learnt as a child.

I sometimes wonder about spelling and grammAr too!!
However, I'll admit that I seldom spell-check things on this site because the spell-check function only works about half of the time....

I rarely misspell anything, and use spell check sometimes. If I notice a misspelling in my answer (usually a typo) I'll click on the Edit link and fix it.

your instructor will know and realize that it is Math not text. You make it sound like your instructor is a moron. I do not think s/he is because you are typing so it is expected. there is no way to save your settings to a document without having the instructors computer picking up the mistakes.

I agree.I have noticed that a lot of people on Yahoo answers can not form a single cognitive sentence.It has gotten so bad that you almost have to guess at what they are asking.I fell like it is almost like Yahoo charades.
