school help: Bad spelling epidemic. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

Bad spelling epidemic.

Yes, Yes. I know not everyone can be grammatically in tune with spelling but has anyone noticed how bad and frequent this is on help. com? It makes me wonder how people fill out job applications or even make it through a simple English course in school! Are we all just lazy or truly that unaware of writing a simple sentence without errors? I mean, it’s not like there isn’t “spell check” on everything! Thoughts?

There isn’t a spell check on everything. Where is the one on here? Out of the many hundreds of posts and replies on here, there are very few that I cant understand, due to spelling mistakes
You perfect people make me sick, with your stupid remarks and complaints. If you dont like the way it is, then go to other websites.
Either put up with it or move on.

For some reason I am reminded a post made not too long ago, where the poster said she was going to Yale, but she couldn’t even spell “college” correctly.

You all need to chill out. Really. This wasn’t an attack, only an observation. Take another look kids, it’s a post. In any case, keep bringing the ignorance! My office is loving this!

Haha, okay, you’re not attacking right?

Good eye! Glad you spotted that one. Reward yourself today. You actually managed to do something that didn’t involve your anger issues. Go help someone with some feedback that isn’t so narrow. If you can’t manage a response to a post without taking it personally, either get educated or seek anger management. Thank-Y you again!

Please don’t be so hypocritical and judgmental. You said so yourself, chill out. I brought that up because it reminded of it, freedom of speech, remember? You also managed to use “your” instead of “you’re” too. That too implies ignorance. Just an observation though, kid. Don’t take it personally, but I think you should be educated. :)

How do you know you didn’t push someone into a bad place? Help.com is actually a pretty helpful place when you stop worrying about grammar and spelling and start worrying about people’s problems, this includes your own.

That was my problem. Thanks for your help. It was an observation. I actually am a social worker who has worked for years with inner city families due mostly to this issue, lack of education. It troubles me and NO, I don’t enjoy watching people flunk tests, or not even manage to fill out a simple work application due to this problem. Thank you all again.

i don’t think mcdonalds and burger king turn people down because they cannot spell correctly.
