Question

What happened to proper spelling and grammar?

Answer 1

We don't need to spell or worry about syntax. Didn't you hear Jesus died on the cross so we wouldn't have to worry about punctuation and the like.

Answer 2

Proper use of language is indeed more important than people seem to realize. Society lives, and civilization thrives, on the day-to-day use of its words, syntax (as you point out), and sentence structure. . . This question should definitely NOT be rhetorical.

Answer 3

bcuz teh muslim and is Jesus fai8th belghve!. . I wonder that too. I don't expect fine prose from such a forum, but a good 50% or more of questions are practically unintelligible. Answers tend to be more readable. Perhaps it's because people who are barely literate also think they can get useful answers from a group of uncredentialed strangers?

Answer 4

more likely that we cant be arsed to correct our spelling for crappy yahoo???!!!!!

Answer 5

People have gotten lazy. Too busy on their cell phones, ipods and what not to give a damn about education & etiquette. . . My gosh people, you can use spellcheck!

Answer 6

Spelling died with Dan (potatoe) Quayle.. Dubya destroyed syntax.
