Is it arrogant that the Y!A spell check only has American spelling?

If you use yahoo uk you will not have this problem.

It's not even all that accurate on US spelling - some people are saying it's suggesting vulgar words as correct spellings. Personally, my experience is that it suggests ludicrous alternatives like 'esk er' for 'asker'. It has yet to find a legitimate spelling error, much less suggest an appropriate fix. I don't think it's arrogance, I think it's idiocy.

This fellow has come up with a simple solution to block the Yahoo! Answers pop up spell checker: http://mypersonalhothothot.blogspot.com/2008/08/ho...

Yep i think so..The Australian and American dictonaries are so very different.Even when i use spell check i still feel as if i have spelling errors because of the Yankie grammar..

Give me an Aussie spell check!!..

Just hit ignore, douche. It's an American company. It's natural that they would use the laws of grammar governing their home country. Is it arrogant that Y!A spell check doesn't have the spelling of every word in every language the world over? I bet people trying to answer Y!A questions in Swahili are pretty angry.

Yes, they should use the English spelling, the correct version.

It's a luxury. Just be happy that they have it for American English at all.
