Is the Y!A spell checker running in Russian or Sanskrit or something these days?

hahahaha....

yup, facing the same situation.

And the irony is that it has Stopped pointing out a typo I frequently make [yoiu instead of you] !

In the event I add links, or use Hindi words in Roman script, Monsieur Oops has a whole song & dance sequence going, disregarding his 2 left feet !

Most of my answers are relatively long. I easily get over 200 "misspellling(s)". Only 66+ this time ;-)

Update : Your plea has been heard ! They've cleaned out the Spell Checker stables & only the 'new typo-turds' remain ; but its English again ! You are truly blessed :-))

I'd only written "I" when the "Oops! It looks like you have 4 misspellings" error popped up. How one letter could generate four misspellings in any language is mystifying. I used to wish I could reach through the screen and break the pencil in half. Now I often write something along the lines of baebueaovbneavneobe or other jabberwocky at the beginning of a question or answer so the pencil will go ahead and pop up. If you click the x it usually makes the pencil go away for the rest of that question or answer so it won't incessantly spring up.
