Do they teach people how to spell anymore? My time on this site shows me that they stopped. Alternatively, are gorilla-finger sized people using this site? I'm quite curious.

There is no consequence for bad spelling on the internet, so most do not take the time to correct errors, double-check what they type, or worry about such things as grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, or fragments and run-ons.
marinemom24 answered Saturday January 1 2011, 11:20 am: Thank you so much for noticing that. I just try to chalk it up to fast or inexperienced typing or poor (or non-existent) proof reading skills. But you're right, it is mind boggling that many teens (and adults as well) have such terrible spelling and grammar skills. Goes to show you how much our education system is lacking. Thanks for pointing that out! [ marinemom24's advice column | Ask marinemom24 A Question ]
