Dictionaries are good.
I'm relatively new here and I quite enjoy visiting this web site, but I can't get over the fact that at least half of these people could not form a coherent sentence with decent spelling to save their lives!
What can be done to help everyone realize that proper grammar and spelling is the key to communication, which, in turn, is the key to not stumbling around blindly in life? I really do fear for our generation sometimes.

Nothing is really going to fix this unless you get ahold of every single person that answers this question and strangle them. I understand your concerns but nothing can be done to fix them so deal with it. Hope I helped!

We've had many complaints about this, moderators seem to have been racking their brains to come up with a solution for this, and nothing is going to sure-fire fix this. The idea of adding a spell checker has been kicked around.. but it wouldn't surprise me if many people don't care to use it - or if the spell checker would even be able to decipher some of the chatspeak to offer better words. So in short terms, yes, its a problem, but at the moment can it be fixed? Not without individual effort that most people aren't willing to give.

it is not important to type perfect on here...im a college student and i know my grammar and spelling VERY well.. but i dont see it important to use it in all aspects of my everyday life ....

It's just a web site. I mean people don't come on here to take English class; they come here to talk about their problems with others who are of their generation that may have at one time or another gone through the same problems as they are. So, if they want to type like that, then I don't see what the big deal is. It's not one of the major problems in today's world.

I think that in the case of the cyber-world, such grammar is different. Online has its own language.
People try to use shortcuts in typing, so they can increase their typing speed and become more efficient at it.
However I do agree with what has been said on the importance of good grammar, but trying to correct the grammar issue on the web is like trying to shave a lion, not impossible but highly improbable.
I hope this helps you out.

OH MY GOD. A HUMAN. A PERSON. TYPING WITHOUT CHATSPEAK. GAH. NO. IS IT POSSIBLE?
>.>
Gah, I hear you. I fucking hate how people type on this site 'ommgg my bf dumpd me 2day n i cnt get ovr it, wut do i do? thnx2u!!111 5'zz!!!'. Grrr. It really pisses me off how people can't take the extra two seconds to type out a proper freaking sentence, not only becuase it makes them look smarter, but also because its more respectful to people that are going to bother answering.
Good on you for pointing it out.

Nothing can be done, sadly ~ it is too late.
I've tried everything, trust me.
I've yelled at them.
I've mocked them.
I've tried to help them.
It just doesn't work at all. Whenever I tell someone on this site to write properly, generally I get the response.
"omg theyres liek no speelcheker on heir."
(which, usually they tend to stray away from "they're" and just use "there" to refer to everything. But, yeah~)
I've suggested that a spell checker be added to the site, because I think it would help some people. But then I know there are a few doing it just to be jerks, and then we'd end up with really annoying kids typing in "1337" ~ if it gets to that point, i'll probably become a much more angry and violent person.
I know that all of the time my spelling and punctuation isn't immaculate, but at least I give an effort.
Take a lesson kiddies?
