Does the spell-check on Answers use an English or American dictionary?

either my spelling is getting worse or the English language has Changed.Does the spell-check on Answers use an English or American dictionary?
The English language is always changing, "factoid" "bling bling". But, Answers uses a Yahoo dictionary just like Word uses a Microsoft dictionary. At one time "Microsoft" showed up as a spelling error in Word. Even Latin, which is considered to be a dead language, is changing. The Catholic church uses Latin and has had to add words for things like "computer".



Don't feel bad, if you noticed a problem, then you probably know how to spell. Most people in the day and age do not have a clue about either spelling nor grammar.

Type them into an outlook express email or word document and spell check them before you put your answer then copy paste it into the box. Good Luck.
huh?Does the spell-check on Answers use an English or American dictionary?
probably a combination of both types.
English?
Check some words like labor - labour night nite

Just did, it's American spelling
I think it uses American English.
It corrects my errors just fine.....
I use IeSpell Check, because the Yahoo version does not always work correctly. (It is U. S. American version).
i think both why
Color Colour, Encyclopedia, Encyclopaedia, Labor, Labour... DEFINITELY American!
Colour

Color





It chooses the English spelling as opposed to the American spelling. It might depend on your profile setting (i.e. what you said when it asked for your country)
It's probably your spelling.
check a word like color..... checked it, they use an English dictionary
More likely American sorry to say...
English dictionary
Why does yahoo ask for an alternate e-mail address instead of an alternative. You can't rely on the internet for spelling or maybe you can but there need to be a grammar syntax etc check
Sometimes the spelling check won't work okay. It passed the wrong spellings, at least I had nemerous encounters with yahoo's 'check spelling'. Ultimately, now I check them through merriam-webster toolbar for verifying correct spellings. I think many others will agree ?
checked with this answer it proved that English was the centre of spoken language therefore spell-check uses an English dictionary.
If you come through the "United States" link, it's American. If you come through the "United Kingdom" link, it's British. I mean the links at the bottom. I've tried this, and that's how it works. Your question is under the British Yahoo Answers, so I think it was checked for British spelling.



See the internet address of the post. If it starts with "uk.answers.yahoo.com..." then it's British, if it starts with "answers.yahoo.com..." (without the uk. part) then it's American.
