Apparently over half the user's on yahoo can't spell or figure out how to use that little link that says "Check Spelling" that is built right into this, what is the deal?

While I agree with you wholeheartedly, I must suggest that you check your own passage, as it has mechanical errors.
It may be spelled correctly, but it is a huge run-on sentence. Additionally, it is not "user's," which would show possession. Rather, it should be "users," showing plurality.
Again, while I agree with you regarding the horrendous spelling, when "dissing" someone, you should make sure your "dis" is beyond reproach.

There are problems with that facility.
It seems to be unable to complete the check if an answer exceeds a certain length.
It is not practical for use on mathematical answers.
It does not have a facility for allowing you to correct a word if none of its suggested corrections is what you want.

I always spell check in this category, because you guys are rough. I sometimes spell check elsewhere. Truthfully I'm a lousy typist but a pretty good speller, so a quick proofread usually makes my responses squeaky clean.

Yes, well, some people are too lazy, or don't think spelling matters as long as they answer a question!

It doesn't make any difference when they don't know how to tell the difference between things spell check can't correct, like 'there,' 'they're,' and 'their,' 'no' and 'know,' and 'its' and 'it's,' among others, like 'user's'.

They're trying to be the first to answer the question?
