It's possible, but it's unwise to seek the Internet as a source for English learning as many of the things you will see are written incorrectly by natives.

As a qualified and experienced teacher of English as a foreign language (notice the capital E in English please everybody, yes, it should have one), I don't think that any kind of reading / writing practice is bad for you, as long as you don't forget that there are lots of people with truly awful grammar and spelling on this site, but that's a reflection of what you'll find in any other day-to-day situation. If anything it's even more authentic practice than material prepared specifically for students, or by your teacher. Bon courage!

Only if people correct your english, which they may not do because it is slightly rude to do so in a social setting.
(That sentence uses fairly complicated grammar -- have fun.)
In your question, it would have been better english to put the "every day" after the object -- "..if I used yahoo answers every day". (note that in this usage "every day" should be two words, not one).
Bon chance!

If you learn how to spell from yahoo!answers, you will fit in very well with English-speaking illiterates.

It's possiable. Considering most poster's first language is English.

Yes and no, some people have the most appalling english here so it might make you worse off.

Wi (or is it Wee? or.....nevermind.) I'm trying to learn Spanish & we have radio & TV in Spanish which can help me practice. We have "snowbirds" who are french-Canadian, so I picked up a few phrases, but obviously can't spell them.
