    It plainly marks four my revue

    Mistakes I dew knot sea.

    And weight four it two say

    It shows me strait aweigh

    As soon as a mist ache is maid

    It nose bee fore two long

    And eye can put the era rite

    Its rarely ever wrong.

    I've scent this massage threw it,

    And I'm shore your pleased too no

    Its letter prefect in every weigh;

    My checker tolled me sew.

    (Or may bee knot) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    Gosh it sucks with no spell check and now I have to use small words instead of being able to sound like I had a huge degree. Hope these little words are spelled right. Yahoo fix this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It isn't gone, whenever you misspell a word, it will pop up with a note that says, Oops! Looks like you have ? misspellings, then it gives you the option, to click Use Spell Checker, click it, then scroll down, and click Change, and find your correct spelling for the word. It goes automatically now.

    Actually spell check is still here. Since thy have made Yahoo Answers all new and updated, they put spell check at the right of your screen. If you misspelled a word it will automatically pop up at the right of screen saying "Oops! It looks like you have ( ) misspelling(s)."

    Hope I helped!!

    Yahoo! Answers haven't removed the spellcheck, it only appears when you have incorrect spelling in your question or answer. There should be a tip to the right of the flow which tells you how many spelling mistakes and gives you a link to correct these

    SPELL CHECK:-

    ♦The Spell check is 'NOT' gone permanently!! If you mispell a word a PENCIL ICON shows up and it'll remind you in the RIGHT saying 'Oops! It looks like you have 1 misspelling(s)'.

    ♦Also you can see that if you type in 'CAPS LOCK' a green thing comes up and says 'Did you leave the Caps Lock key on?'

    Best Wishes and Good Luck!! ♫♪
