Spell check in yahoo answers says the word OBAMA is a misspelled word lol.?

Shouldn't someone tell them it's the name of the President of the US? Could this be racist? lol

    I answered a question yesterday about if Obama was the antichrist. I said no. I used Obama's name 3 or 4 times in my answer, and then used the spelling checker. It did not recognize Obama's name lol. Even though I don't believe in the antichrist, I have to admit, it gave me a strange kinda eerie feeling for awhile.

    LOL Here is that question with my answer. This is when the spelling checker could not recognize Obama:

  • That spell checker is not 100% accurate and in fact has many glitches and problems. You will find many words it does not know, if you have a big enough vocabulary.
