Why do some people use incorrect grammar on WikiAnswers?

Answer 1

Grim GrammarIt's important to remember that WikiAnswers has contributors of all ages and cultures, whose first language may not be English. Incorrect grammar, although annoying to some, is easily fixed by other members of the community.

We are a community; we will not reprimand or discriminate anybody for the use of incorrect grammar or spelling.

Our users add their comments:

• People generally have bad grammar and bad spelling all over the web, for various reasons: Most of us are not professional writers or typists, and so slips occur that we only see when it is too late; many of us don't read and write as much as we should. Because of technology, less attention is generally given to these traditional subjects in the schools of today; and, unfortunately, some people don't care enough.
• They come here to learn.
• Coz it's faster and there isn't that much of a need to be so proper.
• Some people use WikiAnswers as a search engine initially and some then go on to ask a question. In some cases, it is very obvious that they simply ask by using the original key words and don't change them into a question.

  In addition, it is an open secret that standards of written English in schools in just about all the English-speaking countries are poor.
