What are the chances of people using spell checker before submitting questions?

Answer 1

Slim to none and slim has left town.

Answer 2

Well, I always use it. But, if I had to give a "guesstimate", I would say probably only half of people use it.

But here's my question, why does Yahoo! Answers NOT have a spell checker if you want to add anymore details to your question? That is where you can write the most, hence there is chance for more mistakes.

I suppose you could copy and paste it into Word or something and do a spell check there, and paste it back into the Yahoo! box, but that is ridiculous....Yahoo should consider a spell checker for the details section.

Hope I spelled all this right!!! I'm going to press the spell checker button right....now.

Ahhhh, only one mistake. I feel better now that I fixed it!

;-)

Answer 3

Why would anyone use a spell checker before submitting questions to Yahoo?

Answer 4

I say most people do but the spell checker a lot of the time is not working or just takes way too long

Answer 5

By the looks of some of the answers to some of the questions on here about 1 in 100 use it.

Answer 6

English is not my mother language,
so I try to use check-spelling every time,
except when I`m writing something easy as this.
* * *
Once I used check-spell,
but all the same made a mistake,
my question should have been Who Died,
and it turned out like Who Dyed (mix of dying and who knows what)... so I`m gonna find myself a good looking translator..

Answer 7

That's a statistical question. If all the people in the world moved from east to west, how long would it be before the African continent was peopled entirely with whites? Or...I could give many other examples.

Answer 8

I use it a lot of the time as i was not educated properly and that was not down to me as my mother was a cow for not letting me go to school so i try my best.but i still make errors and don't we all.as long as people can under stand what i am trying to say that's good.i put a question in last night and a bi*ch pulled me on it but no one else did the cow.so i blame my age,and my poor up bringing.So i look at it this way it best to try then not to try

Answer 9

Well you would think the chances would be high since the button is above this blank. Unfortunately, most people don't spell check.
