Yahoo answer got a terrible spell checker

[it career]

Did you observe the new yahoo answer spell checker feature ,almost every answer is showing some spelling errors , like PHP , when will yahoo answer consider PHP ,etc as a real english word ?

I thought there was something different with Yahoo Answers!
They've updated their graphics and asking a question system hadn't they?

*sorry im a little slow LOL*

But yeah totally agree, they need to recognize some more...up to date...words
:)

PHP isn't a word. It's an abbreviation that is not in the dictionary.

Too bad you DP doesn't have a grammar checker either right?

Try using FireFox 3, it does spell checking in forms for you. ;)

Yahoo answer is asking me to replace PHP by PHIP , what does PHIP mean ?

Dear it career

There are many words in the spell check, that they think is a correct word, and some they don't think is correct or in fact a word. They probably don't know many words to start with. Just ignore the spell checker, and go on, it's not like you have to change it.

Anything that stops people submitting stuff like this -
I have a enemy at school and every time i see her she ither bes mean to me orshe kicks me what should i do?
is a good thing.

Forget about PHIP if you mean PHP just write PHP

[StarBucksCoffee]

Err PHP is not a word, On my opinion yahoo based their dictionary of words from Webster...

I think,it should be overlooked unless it makes you stop posting there,after all ,PHP is not the only word.Many chatspeaks and sometimes your name too :) may be there. I bet,they dont have even 2/3 of all the medical terms !
