Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Should there be a mandatory spell check in Yahoo Answers before your question or answer is posted?

What I mean is, should the site check what you type in and say, if there are five or more words not spelled correctly just tell you, sorry, you can't post this unless you correct it?

    Wouldn't that be a wonderful idea! I also wish they could filter out a lot of the inappropriate garbage that is on here as well. I suppose that the open forum has a lot of pros and cons. I have had to force myself to ignore a lot of the garbage, or I would just be spending all my time reporting and not having any time to answer any questions. Have a good night!

    I bow to you sir and your infinite wisdom!

    I am sick of these people who post and you sit there with that deer in the headlight look trying to decide which language they were attempting to use.

    Ooooh, wouldn't that be a gem of a feature?! Of course, someone would get horribly upset because we wouldn't be using the ebonics dictionary....
