Do you think Yahoo should recheck the English dictionary before they tell you you have a spelling error ?

Yes because they want us to spell by the American way AND they tell you you have spelt wrongly if you put a person's name in!!Do you think Yahoo should recheck the English dictionary before they tell you you have a spelling error ?
He he yes!!! Thanks again Kirst! xxxx

It would be nice if there was a country specific spell checker for each language represented on here. I'm getting a bit fed up of having a red line under the word 'colour' (see, there it is!!)Do you think Yahoo should recheck the English dictionary before they tell you you have a spelling error ?
yes, Yahoo should...

for example, the dictionary doesn't know the word ( Obama ) but knows the word Osama :-)
yes mmost ppl use abriviation n stuff so yer i dnt care no more dnt even look at it lolDo you think Yahoo should recheck the English dictionary before they tell you you have a spelling error ?
Yeah. Count me in!!

As soon as you type a letter it say please check your spelling.

I get sooo anoyed!!
I don't like the "Hmm, looks like you are using a lot of punction". I'll use as much punctuation as I like matey!!
Yes, I do not live in America. We should have a different spellchecker if logged in as UK. It's meant to be an english Dictionary.
Yes!!! Sometimes I just don't get it!!
its because a lot of computers use American spelling so yeah some times its a little different that or you need to rethink your spelling maybe its you not the computer..... a little question to ask yourself
yeah how annoying, you've spelt colour wrong errr no I havent it does have a U in it.......
do i?!!
eh I dont pay attention to what they say anyway I spell stuff how I wanna
Sometimes the spelling is correct but the punctuation is wrong. EG. The word dont instead of don't. Its subtle but the spell checker picks it up. Also words like wasnt instead of wasn't.



Just check you put in your apostrophes correctly or the spell checker will tell you it's wrong. It's a pain remembering to type them in but that's what I find it is with my spelling.
YES!!! I actually spell things wrong because I hate when it's wrong all the time. I wish they would stop marking lol wrong. I also hate hmm....looks like you have a lot of punctuation.
the dictionary is good but only few words .
yer dem thangs arr annoyin coz i tarpin my werds in n than i git thas thang sayen i gawt a wurrrd rong
Nope, I'm a good speller and most of the time yahoo is spot on where spelling is concerned. Occasionally I spell things "creatively" and yahoo always calls me on it. So that's when I activate my internal "IGNORE" button and just go on with my answers.
They only check the American dictionary
What one Kirst, theirs or ours?



lmao they think you should be called Kirsti;-)
It wouldn't be a bad idea - even so , yesterday I was informed by spell checker that you spelled 'chance', c-h-a-n-c-e-c-e- !
Yes, I do think yahoo should recheck because sometimes it comes up with some bogus words.
I'm with Tish P on this one. "Favourite" is another word I use a fair bit on here....and the spellcheck always picks up on it. I know I am half American....but I was brought up in the UK, and I tend to use British spellings.
yes, Yahoo should bz

f the dictionary doesn't know the word some word but knows the word so he max up





i hope that helpe
Yes! Spell chucker doesn't recognize a lot of correct words.
I doubt it would work because they use the american dictionary. They should have a different dictionary for each country.
Yep you have a point here Kirst - Reckon it's more 'Geared Up' for the American way of Spelling !
