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.

Is there a way to add to the Yahoo! Answers spell check vocabulary list?

I'm getting tired of it wanting me to change Obama to ABM (although it might fit :) ).

Update:

It has a lot of problems with plurals of all sorts. Many times, I just copy and paste to MS Word then copy and paste back after the Word spell check. It is even faster sometimes.

    No, you cannot add words to the spell check on YA. It is, I understand, the prerogative of the YA administration.

    Funnily, the word 'answerers' is not passed by the spell check (though 'answerer' is allowed) but is used in the 'Help' topics. I wonder if YA has noticed this. There could be some other words like this, too!
