It just makes people look silly, when an answer has pathetic spelling errors....

Did you just learn English?

SImply, show errors in red until corrected. This would teach English in a nice fashion.

Sorry Preacher55, not that Im scared of you but appreciate the fact that you fought a war you were told to fight by your country. I'm here to protect my family, wish It was my neighbours too, but they are as bad as the enemy (in my country anyway)

It's to allow Yahoo to appeal to the widest audience. If those who are genuinely bad at English are not allowed to participate then I think Yahoo would be breaking the law (under what law, I don't know).
Personally, I find that spelling mistakes mess up the readability of the answers and bad grammar does not help either. We speak English so we write English not a pile of random words that sound like English.

It's a shame everyone isn't perfect like you, huh? What a great country we fought for when everyone must be perfect at all times. No deviation or error will be permitted. I hope the Perfection Nazi's treat you kindly when they decide you don't measure up. Get a life!

more to the point how can you get the Yahoo spell check to know whats really Misspell as many words I use are correct but show as misspelt, you'd need a much better relational spell checker than this currently has.
Also surely it is the quality of the answers content than lack of typo's that makes an answer useful.

Because 75% of the questions would be rejected. That might not be a bad thing. It would keep the kids and non English speakers from making themselves look idiotic.

I think that is a great idea. The spell check never works

If that was the case, from what I can tell there would only be a couple of "acceptable" questions asked per day.

well, you cant enforce a spellcheck on every question asked. People just need to check their own spelling after asking each question

no-one cares about grammer. It's not an English test
