Spell Check on Yahoo, is there a better download somewhere I don't know about? Maybe a trick to make it work ?

I am a fairly good speller, but not the best typer. Sometimes I go to fast and mess up words pretty bad. I can't rely on spell check 75% of the it says no errors found. AGGRAVATING!!! For instance "taht" which is "that" or "soupose" which is "suppose", it didn't catch either one of those just now. It usually happens when I need it the most, I have even misspelled purposely AS A TEST and it says none found. That's just crap!! It can make people look like bumbling idiots if you miss proofread yourself. Is there a newer spellcheck that is available? does anyone else have this spell check problem. Maybe it's me or my computer. Anybody know the answer to this problem. Should I alert Yahoo technical support, just wanted suggestions before I actually did htat?

    It's not you or your computer. The spell-checker here is very bad. It questions words that are spelled correctly and overlooks misspellings. The spell-checker isn't on your computer, so there's nothing you can do except complain to Answers. You might add a comment to the Answers Forum (click the link at the top right of this page).
