Why can people not spell?

I would think does and does could be typo. I also think you need to remember that English is not the first language of many people on this board and until you are the "most perfect speller" in their languages you should just be impressed at how good the level of spelling is.

Actually, its internet. People have to write a lot of things but there is shortage of time here. We have to talk with more than 3 ppl at a time and secondly there r many people in this world whom english is n't mother tongue. Its very difficult to become expert on a foreign language. Its too an other reason. I try my best to write correct spellings but may b still do mistakes.

Some of it is just simple error. You often find that many people were not taught to type, so when they go fast they just get muddled and the keys get in the wrong order. I find I do it a lot with 'the' I'm always noticing I've managed to type it as 'teh' and its just a keyboard error. Other times, its a fact that not everyone has had a full and decent education, and they havent had the chance to develop reliable spelling.

I think they are still confused on the difference of the spelling and pronounciaition of a word. I suggest that people should consult the dictionary everytime they have trouble understanding and spelling words.

Well I'm an open minded person and understand that people here have different language.No problem if your are from US,your're expected to pronounced and speel the words correctly but few people here like me who grew up here in Phil,we have different langauge here so sometimes we mispelled the words.There are also cases that we're so careless in typing and we mistyped some words.So for me its not really annoying.Just a human error that sometimes we cannot avoid cause we're not perfect.

It does happen to me as well . Though I am very good at spellings but when typing them I sometimes press the keys in wrong order resulting in a typing mistake . I suppose I may pay a price for them someday but till date I have been lucky . Spelling mistakes can make life difficult for the reader , but at the end of the day I would live with them rather than analysing spending time reading what i have written carefully . So spelling mistakes you are welcome if you come outside my conscious awareness .

I think it depends. Some people have learning disabilities and spelling does not come so easy for them. For me, spelling isn't really an easy thing. But by using an electronic dictionary a lot, I have gotten better. Some days though, I sit and look at a word like "just" and it doesn't look right. I have wondered before if it was "yust" or "joost" or "yost" etc. and somedays I just can't get a certain word it seems. But then there are the words that I know and so I get frustrated when others do not know them. Like paint "pilling" instead of "peeling" or "wierd" instead of "weird" or even "definately" instead of "definitely" (one I was guilty of for years).

It is more likely a case of mistyping the word than misspelling it. Sometimes I mistype rather simple words when I am in a hurry.

dont be ok...maybe he just type so fast that it missed the right letter..im always like that,,but i tend to correct it after i review my responses...im always got mixed up with the word"just"(i usually type it us jsut)....

Some people know how to spell but they make a spelling mistake when typing. Personally i have ever made a an error when typing, not that i don't know how to spell the word, but a common spelling mistake. For those who can't spell such a word, let them pull their socks. Not that am too sharp when it comes to spelling. Nobody is perfect.

One problem is that when a person is having a dyslexia. It is a brain problem that you are doubt with the placements and which letters of the word are doubled or not.

It seems that its just accidently hitting the wrong key not from not knowing how to spell.I've done that and they don't have an edit button once you preview it so for some it's probably a mistake and the e and s key are close together.

when somebode spell dose instead of does, please give him/her a strong dose of rough speech. He/she always remember your such a dose and never spell wrongly.

I am sorry that parsons dose annoy you when their spelling is bad. Hope I just add to it. I think the reason for that error is bacause they arent as fortunate as you to type without watching the keys. Also when someone is typing fast this minor error occurs. Not everyone is perfect. But you did know that 'dose' is 'does' right. MyLot is not a grammer test so if you understand what he says then great why raise your blood pressure for nothing?? PS: Please excues my speling

There are a great many spelling mistakes at Mylot. However, they are not all generated by an inability to spell, but some are a result of people not bothering to proof read what they have typed. I often find that I have typed ahve or something similar, although I am capable of spelling the word have.

No !! why would anybody wil spell it as dose...everyone knwos that its spelled as does...
