Spellin and grammar are essential for getting ideas across to others...If
they are not correct, a differen t view of a subect is given...especially in the subject of the Bible...
example...John 1;1 is sometimes used to TRY and prove that Jesus is ALSO God...which he is NOT.
Simply by leaving out one letter..."a".
(John 1:1) In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.

Jesus was ' with' [ alongside ] God...his father...
Jesus 'was' [ existed]...Proverbs 8; 22-31]
And Jesus was "a" god [ a spiritual being]
"god" is a title, not a NAME.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.
Satan is ALSO "a" god...a spiritual being, ALTHOUGH NOT A GOOD ONE.

Inaccurate translations leave out the "a" to make the scripture say...
the word WAS....God...
Which Jesus is NOT.
 
Mostly, we are not complaining, we are laughing. We are pointing out that the use of English in some questions and answers is so poor, that it is clear that the writer is either very young or very ignorant.

These things go together. The most incoherent writing with the worst grammar usually comes from creationists and it is an indication that the writer is incapable of "joined - up" thinking though youth, ignorance or stupidity. Sometimes all three. .
 
Kid...
If you want a question treated with respect then first you have to respect the reader.
I'm a speed reader... there's no way I can read, let alone understand, some of the nonsense we get here cos it just doesn't make any sense.

"We are not writing an official letter to Queen Elizabeth."
LuLz... cos many of you couldn't write well enough to entice her to read it.

I don't blame you - I blame teh education 'system'.

Correct spelling and grammar shows respect for the reader.

We shouldn't have to try to interpret what a question is trying to ask.
 
One person writes a question; dozens, or even hundreds will read it. There are more readers than writers, so the writer should make things as easy as possible for the readers, including correct spelling, grammar and punctuation.

That said, you should excuse the occasional error on this site, as questions can't be edited afterwards like answers can.
 
Why not? We get abused for not believing in one religion or another, for being rational, for accepting science and theory over belief and superstition, and for showing an interest in religion because religion affects us all whether we believe in it or not. And, we also get equally abused if our grammar is not up to par. Could you imagine the responses an atheist would get if he or she were to ask a question like this:

Hey Cristans! Why yews beleilve in Jaysis? Don't yews no that we athiests are smarters?
