Question

Why is it Yahoo answers spell check does not have Obama in it but has McCain, Clinton, Hillary etc.?

Answer 1

Hilary ,Hillary?

Yahoo spell check is american ,and we all know what that means...................

Answer 2

Because it's not a commonly used name.

Answer 3

i would get in too much trouble for stating my real answer...so im just gonna accept my points and be gone *poof*

Answer 4

I think this is a function of the Firefox browser and the dictionary resides on your computer. If this is correct, then all you need to do is add "Obama" to the dictionary.

Answer 5

LOL what a stupid question

oh wait i forgot questions arnt stupid ppl who ask em are ^_^

Answer 6

you might be RACIST!

Answer 7

Obama is not that difficult to remember to spell. There are a lot of words spell check doesn't have and Obama is a rather strange name. I doubt there is anything wrong with it. I say if you are planning to vote for a candidate you should at least remember how to spell their name.

Answer 8

It isn't a racial thing.  It is simply that McCain, Clinton and Hillary are more commonly used words.

If Obama becomes president than in a few years I am sure his name will be recognized by the spell checker as well.

Answer 9

It's just not commonly used. But when he becomes president it will change

OBAMA 08!
