How come a lot of students on here asking questions about degrees and study can't spell properly???

Question

Why is it that a lot of people in this section are asking questions about degrees and study and how to get on to certain courses at Universities across the world but do not seem to be able to spell or talk properly? The question/ reply box even has a spell checker?!

Answer 1

Well I am a university student who is an awful speller, but I agree with you that it is crazy to see with the spell checker.

Pity exam papers don't come with spell checkers.

Answer 2

it is becaws nobodi rilly caris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!or cares if u preferrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Answer 3

Nowadays, nobody cares about spelling words properly because there is this Microsoft programme that corrects you. I live in Scotland and most people cannot spell or talk without mistakes.

Answer 4

well the teachers are at fault there.. most teachers these days aren't very educated themselves.

Answer 5

Just general internet laziness.

Answer 6

Because although speaking/writing skills are good for studying, they are probably trying to get the actual degree and not bother about the other stuff.

Answer 7

education doesn't always mean wisdom, i've heard some very educated people speak and unless i knew them or they mentioned the fact i wouldn't have known.

huked on phonicks wurkt fer me

Answer 8

it's not really important.

Answer 9

It might just be lousy typing, but I know what you mean. I now see that the gift of good spelling is something precious that I learned how to do. In fact, sometimes I am a better speller than my spell checker! Put in a word like "melangioma" and watch the dotted red line appear underneath it! Good spelling is useful and smart, but it isn't always a requirement to get in to a school, although it probably should be.

Answer 13

I think it's because when people are online, they do not think that they have to use formal language/spelling techniques. I even find myself growing lax every now and then. LOL. There, see... why couldn't I have said, laugh? My point is, it is very easy to go from LOL to: i a hve a ?s 4 all yall....

It isn't the best, but it's my thought on the matter. Ciao.

Answer 14

Yeah, I dunn got un wunderd tha saim theeng.

Answer 15

language skills (or the lack thereof) need not necessarily reflect scholastic abilities , especially in the hard sciences. there are many students who are very smart, even more than native speakers, but as they did not receive their education in english, they exhibit a lack of spelling and grammar.

Answer 16

Well.they are not versed in english
