    well, when you ask a question yahoo tries to match it based on the words in your question. sometimes the category they suggest has nothing to do with the question, only the key words, and some askers do not look to see if it is the right category before hitting post.

    this is in the wrong category too.....

    anyways, yahoo selets a best fitted category for each question and sometimes it is not completely accurate. It selected my question about teacher is travel and phillipines. i didn't notice till after i posted it. also people don't even pay attention to that since yahoo selects it for them. usually i do but that time i didn't.

    answer mine?
