This is just an example. When the question is against your ideal, you check someone spelling and calle them uneducated.
Lets me real, Englisg is my second language, and computer writting cause missespelling because something I may press the same key twice by mistake. I come from Dominican Republic, and we should be realistic, DR %rate of education among high school student, is higher than that of USA. Even Cuba has a highier rate.
It does not mean that every one in the US has a low education level, because stereotyping is a bad thing.
I know spanish, English, and understand some Italian. Everything takes time, I have been learning English for just 3 years. I bet it will be hard, maybe, for any of you to learn a second language in that amount of time.
Is to hard to respect others? Or to correct someone without being uneducated?

There is a button called "Check Spelling", supplied on this program, above the block where you type, and it takes only a second to do.

First of all learn how to spell. You obviously spelled your yahoo ID name write. And there is a thing called spell check. Its not hard to respect others, its just easier to disrespect them. And if you are having to "correct someone" that means you are smarted than they are. Or so to speak. No matter what your education is. Although being able to spell nowadays means you are a professional.

as you demonstrate you can spell correctly if you try.
So the question is why people don't even try. You want to communicate here or not? It's so much easier to understand what you want to say if you at least spell correctly. If you don't want to communicate why are you here?
And you are not the only one whose first language isn't English. Mine is neither. There are Spanish language versions of yahoo answers if you prefer this. Nobody forces you to come to the English version.
I think it is a lack of respect to others not to try to communicate clearly.

English is a hard to learn as a first language, let alone a second one. I agree. I have always said the idea behind the word is more important than the order of the letters in a word.
