You describe some dire, humorless Quora, not the one I use. I've seen plenty of misspellings. Founder (and Harvard grad) Charlie Cheever used "its" instead of "it's" several times in one answer. I've made typos that I went back and corrected myself.

Humor:

Casual subjects:

You can answer anonymously, but you have to register.

There's sheer irreverence in some of the boards (new feature, non-Q&A posts):

For something completely freeform and casual, Yahoo Answers exists (I've actually found useful answers in it too, rarely).



"I've made typos that I went back and corrected myself."

Gee, Quora _does_ sound like a really great party!
