Why can't people spell these days?

It seems like every other post has either several spelling errors or horrible grammar and it makes me wonder. Do they just not check it, or actually don't know how to spell? Anyone else feel this way?

I agree, it's annoying 74
I don't notice it at all 2
I notice it but it doesn't bother me at all 15
other? 6
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • I make mistakes (typos), but they are just that: mistakes.

    I can't control the grammar and spelling of others, so I don't worry about it.

    You're one to talk.

    1. "...either several spelling mistakes or horrible grammar..." The sentence structure is not parallel.
    2. "Do they just not check it, or actually don't know how to spell?" Again, negligence of parallel structure.
    3. "Anyone else feel this way?" This is a sentence fragment.

  • Its not that we can't spell, we are just too lazy to go back and check our grammar when we're typing short reponses

  • I had an ex who always mispells everything. Whether it's on the computer or hand written. It's really annoying, thats why I broke up with her. No, I'm just kidding, that would've been mean but it did get annoying. SPELL CHECK LAZY AZZES!

    Well people usually know that they mispelled something but unless it is something important, they don't really care.

  • Sometimes when I really can't be bothered typing, I don't really care what I'm spelling correctly or if I put an apostrophe somewhere.

    It's an international cyber space, after all.

    I cant spell all that well due to my having to flee at 15, being on my own and alone since. School is something that I could not afford the time for.
    Wish I could do better, but now to tell you the truth, I dont have the motivation to.

    I just don't care. It's an informal, international website primarily here to entertain us; as long as sentences are mostly coherent I'm happy.

    We all make mistakes. A lot of mine are down to using the laptop and its crappy keyboard. I do check things before I post, but - yeah - the odd one sneaks through.
