Why are so many E-mails full of spelling and grammar mistakes, when most hard-copies are not?

I have noticed that in E-mails many people do not double check what they have written, how they have structured it or even if there are any 'dictionary' lines under any words.

Why do you think this is?Why are so many E-mails full of spelling and grammar mistakes, when most hard-copies are not?
I think most people consider email less formal than a hard copy print out, which of course they should not!



Proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, structure reveals the true education of the person; the improper ones reveal themselves by not checking their email posts for proper English devices.Why are so many E-mails full of spelling and grammar mistakes, when most hard-copies are not?
Because people are in a hurry when they write them. It is instant gratification, and spelling and grammar are not such a big deal in a transitory form of communication like email.Why are so many E-mails full of spelling and grammar mistakes, when most hard-copies are not?
I gave thumbs up for you. :)



And... editing, some people don't have that editors eye. They just don't do it, or don't realize there's a mistake.
Because it's a bother to use correct grammar and spelling when you're emailing a friend, especially if they don't care how well you spell or punctuate. A hard-cover book however, is completely different. It's professional, and spelling and grammar mistakes will make the author look like an idiot.
