    Click on the spell checker and fix your spelling mistakes. However, not all words are in the YA spell checker database, and, unlike Microsoft Word, you can't click on a box to add them to the database.

    Sometimes it will display a huge number or mistakes. This is a glitch in the YA software. Continue typing until the box disapears or shows a realistic number of mistakes.

    The Spell Checker often malfunctions as a word counter so if your Q or A is 175 words long it will tell you that you have 175 misspellings.

    Because the spell check has been broken for awhile. You can just try to ignore it and just use the one on your browser
