The English language is always changing, "factoid" "bling bling". But, Answers uses a Yahoo dictionary just like Word uses a Microsoft dictionary. At one time "Microsoft" showed up as a spelling error in Word. Even Latin, which is considered to be a dead language, is changing. The Catholic church uses Latin and has had to add words for things like "computer".
Don't feel bad, if you noticed a problem, then you probably know how to spell. Most people in the day and age do not have a clue about either spelling nor grammar.

checked with this answer it proved that English was the centre of spoken language therefore spell-check uses an English dictionary.

Why does yahoo ask for an alternate e-mail address instead of an alternative. You can't rely on the internet for spelling or maybe you can but there need to be a grammar syntax etc check

If you come through the "United States" link, it's American. If you come through the "United Kingdom" link, it's British. I mean the links at the bottom. I've tried this, and that's how it works. Your question is under the British Yahoo Answers, so I think it was checked for British spelling.
See the internet address of the post. If it starts with "uk.answers.yahoo.com..." then it's British, if it starts with "answers.yahoo.com..." (without the uk. part) then it's American.

Sometimes the spelling check won't work okay. It passed the wrong spellings, at least I had nemerous encounters with yahoo's 'check spelling'. Ultimately, now I check them through merriam-webster toolbar for verifying correct spellings. I think many others will agree ?

It chooses the English spelling as opposed to the American spelling. It might depend on your profile setting (i.e. what you said when it asked for your country)
