I have found that a lot of people have horrible grammar! I'm not sure if they are uneducated, or just lazy. Not just on here, but in real life. I wish people would have just a little bit more pride.. . While we are on this topic, I just have to make a little comment! I love when people type a question making fun of Bush, and they use horrible grammar. It really emphasizes the profile of stupidity of democrats!!!

Some people simply do not possess good English skills, including punctuation, grammar and spelling. Don't get so wound up, man.

rives me crazy, too. It only takes a moment to use spell check, and it appears to me that grammar must not be taught in our school systems.

From my observations, it seems that a lot of the questions in here are asked by children. They don't care...and, some the adults appear somewhat illiterate as well.. . Tolerance is a good thing in life, especially when you are dealing with cyber space and people from all over the world, all ages and all walks of life.

Spell Check is a proper noun in the sentence above or else you should have said "spell checking" to make it parallel, which is kind of a made up compound verb anyway. Never use more than one punctuation at the end of a sentence.

The asking of the question leads me to think that the asker is a little close minded about that really goes on in the world. I’m guessing that your either from the USA or another country that uses English very day in there life.. There are numerous valid reasons that questions may or may not have proper punctuation, grammar and spelling.. . . 1). The asker maybe not be English and therefore there first language is not English. May Chinese can speak English and even write English but there English sentence structure is very hard to understand and it does not flow as smoothly as one wants it to.. . 2). The asker may be dyslexic, dyslexics have problems understanding languages due to the make up of how they think or the way there brain works. This causes problems in such areas as spelling, grammar and any other language related area. It causes the asker to spell or use grammar that they think is right. If the asker then does not know if what they have written is wrong then how do they correct it.. . 3). Spell/grammar checkers: askers may spell check there stuff but if there checker does not pick up any problems how will they know its right. For example office 2003. Windows spell checker thinks “asker” is spelled wrong. . With all this in mind I have to ask myself then askers post questions about grammar and spelling how come they come over has elitist d*cks.
