If D'oh is now in the Oxford Dictionary, why does Yahoo Answers Spell Checker prompt me to correct it?

And also, it think it's pretty obvious that :) is common usage and not a punctuation error.If D'oh is now in the Oxford Dictionary, why does Yahoo Answers Spell Checker prompt me to correct it?
First, Yahoo has no money so they could not afford the OED as a spellchecker. Their dictionary is about the cheapest they could get.

Second, one way the punctuation checker works marks all double marks as bad. You really are not to use text and twitter speak on YA. It can get your post marked as incomprehensible if you use too much. :)
