why does the spell checker in Yahoo answers always state that I've misspelled everything I've typed?

When I answer a question let say with 85 words a pop up comes up and say's "oops! it looks like have 85 misspelling(s)". I't's doing it right now as I'm typing. It's is kind of annoying.

Update:

Hello it's called Yahoo Answers not Yahoo comments.Please only answers.

    The YA spellcheck hasn't been working properly for weeks, and since the latest update it can only be used as a word counter. Not much you can do, no update, nothing else, all you can do is wait for Yahoo to get the problem solved. Or use a spellchecker which might already be installed in your browser without you ever noticing it before. Just go to your favorite search engine, enter "get spellchecker for (enter browser name here)" and check the lists presented. That's how I found a good spellchecker for the Firefox myself: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-f...

    using fact Obama isn't an uncomplicated call, and subsequently isn't lined of their dictionary of properly spelled words. My final call is notably straightforward, yet even this is considered a misspelling. :)

    Yeah it does that on every word, every time even if there isn't a mistake.

    They have been having troubles with the spell check now for months, if not years, and now she is dead.
