How can I make spell check stop flagging my last name?
My email provider always flags my last name before I send an email, thinking it isn't spelled right. It's just an uncommon last name. How do I stop this from happening? I'd like for it to stop underlining in red my last name.

That depends on whose spell-checker it is--the email provider's? Your browser's?
Most of them have a way to add words to the dictionary, including proper nouns like names. Do that and it should no longer flag your name. Others let you ignore certain words that are not in its dictionary. Many are more sophisticated and don't flag words which are capitalized but not the first word in a sentence, assuming they're proper nouns.
