Are you sick of all the nagging from Yahoo when you try to post a question?

Question

"Hm, looks like you have a lot of punctuation". No I don't and so what if I do?

"Looks like you misspelled something". No I haven't. Why don't you butt out?

"Wait, we may have the answer to your question already". Wrong again.

What's going on with Yahoo?

Answer 1

Yeah, it's getting kinda snarky.  "Hmmm...moron, looks like you've used too much punctuation.  Wanna go back to school?"  They might as well say that.

EDIT: Joseph S

The term "egghead" usually refers to someone smart, so are you saying that people who aren't liberals are NOT smart?  Just wonderin'...

Answer 3

It's to try to keep this from happening (again) :

What really sickens me is the yahoo taking a breather BS.

It happens 70% of the time.

Answer 4

Are you sick of all the nagging from Yahoo when you try to post a question?

Yes I am.

Answer 5

there trying to be helpful

key word TRYING

also it annoys you if you use caps

Answer 6

I think it would be better without the automated parts. Doesn't take much to click the spell check myself lol.

Answer 7

It's pissing me off. Yahoo trying to funnel every question into a particular container.

I think the guidelines are for the many illiterates and fools who use Y!A.

Answer 8

Yes,

hopefully, if someone from yahoo picks up on this,. they will suggest something, so i want sum1 to report my answer so they review it, neways listen up yahoo, and listen well,

we want a settings page, people who know what they are doing, and people who dont, so u set yahoo up like you want it, leaving us sad people who are on here a lot, free to answer and ask at will, and people not so familiar get those questions, who's with me?

but, i must say, what an amazing service, all the knowledge in the world, for free!

Answer 9

How does this have anything to do with Gender & Women's Studies? o.o

However, while writing this answer, I see your point.  The tips are a little irrelevant, especially because I've spelled everything correctly and it's still telling me that I have 5 misspellings. Haha.

Answer 10

The spell checker might wait until you finish a word and move on to the next one before nagging, if they want us to hurry up then they shouldn't need to take breathers.

Answer 11

um what does a lot of punctuation mean?

Answer 12

Yes, this is what happens when you have an organization that consists of a bunch of egghead liberals. They have no sense, and it's about as ridiculous as their violation reporting system.

Answer 13

i know!

yahoo, leave me alone! just let me answer my question!

rawr.

Answer 14

Answer 15

Answer 16

Little minds such up power whereever they can find it.  

Answer 17

They are just trying to help you sound smarter then you really are. Don't hate.

Answer 18

ugh. It's so annoying.

They're just trying to... I dunno.

Answer 19

Home > Social Science > Gender & Women's Studies > Open Question

later edit

This is the catagory. This post has nothing to do with this catagory and yet I get thumbs down? I swear people could ask what  1 + 1 is and you could put 2 and get thumbs down.

Answer 20

they're just trying to help, but i wish they made it easier to turn off those functions.  

Answer 21

i havent actually noticed but i will look out for it now

Answer 22

Exactly.... I think they think they are helping out but  this is not something you are going to get graded on or charged with if you misspell something or use too much puncutuation.....hahaha I misspelled that for them....see if I don't get reported for stating my opinion and agreeing with you on this one~

Answer 23

yes i hate it is annoying

i tried to ask something  and it keeped saying i needed 20 more

characters

Answer 24

It's like having my mother living in my computer. Next thing I know, it will be saying, "Put on your jacket, it's chilly." or "Hmm..It looks like your elbows are on the table."

Stop nagging me already!

Answer 25
