Sorry, Jakasaki - iespell is a browser add-on that you must get and add to your system. I'm talking about something like a button right on the submit screen

I'd love to see spell check, but I don't think the worst offenders would bother with it.
I answered a guy that wanted to draw "cartoon hores"

on the submit screen, i always hit the modify button to go back and correct any word mistakes so as to be clear enough. i already sent yahoo team a similiar question on the idea of having an automated spell checker-last month, and only got an automated response-no direct answer. they are too busy with monitoring other yahoo sites i guess. so some people just have to take the time to hit that modify button or edit button...

1. I don't think it's necessary. I have spell check built into my browser (Firefox) for any field I type in.
2. No.
3. Not sure about misspellings, but I had the word "@$$ist" censored on me because it contains a banned word. See: assist.

Spellcheck would be great. I always have two windows open. One is set to http://www.dictionary.com./ The other, of course, to Answers.
One of the questions from some kid's homework was: Can you give definitions for these words. The first one was "Quater." I didn't do the kid's homework by giving definitions, but I did look up the word myself. I hope he did okay on the assignment.
Definately the wirst miseplings iv evr scene is reprisented on this forom. The gramma is worser stil.
