Ever clicked on spell check after answering a question and it says no misspellings only to see your answer posted with a spelling error? What the hell man?

    Yea...there is a bug that apparently the GENIUSES at Y!A are unable to fix. It only checks the question, not the "additional information" section. Dumb eh?

    Uhh..edit that...you said "answering a question". No. It always works for me on that. Every time.

    It is possible that the word is not misspelled but may be a legitimate word that you put in your sentence. If this is the case it will approve the spelling. The program does not take into account your English!

    What has happened is that my misspelling spelled another word that was correct. It cannot distinguish between meanings.

  • I never even noticed there was a spell checker haha

    probably because I don't need it
