Can you shut off the spell check on this site?

Sorry if this got posted twice, my computer locked up when I hit submit the first time. Anyway, is there any way to shut off the spell check on Yahoo!Answers? I hate that bubble that pops up every single time you hit a typo. You go to fix the typo, you fix it and the bubble stays there forever! I find it quite annoying, and honestly, no one on here uses it anyway. (a lot of folks really need it, but don't use it.)

    First, I agree ... a lot of folks could benefit from using it, but apparently few of them avail themselves of it.

    Second ... no, I don't think there's a way to turn it off. I used to hate it, too. Now I just ignore it ... literally, I am so used to it (it flags me for 'too much punctuation' all the time) that I just don't notice it anymore.

    Afraid not, it is a part of the program and it dose not have a off switch.

    Nope, that is an automatic and cannot be turned off or deleted
