People are making statements about Obama's name not coming up on spell check.

Pelosi, speaker of the House and second in line to the presidency, comes up as error as well on spell check.

So why is Obama getting heat whereas people are ignoring the fact that other important names do not come up on spell check either.

There are lots of things the spell checker doesn't like. I don't like Obama either.

There are hundreds of given and sur names that come up as errors on spell check. Spell check is not set up for names. The people making these allegations are not too familiar with computers.

(Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad, leader of Iran, comes up as an error too, in spell check, on YA. Either this is a good thing, or Yahoo hasn't learned to spell terrorist names yet. I think it's a good thing that terrorists like Nancy Pelosi, Obama, and Ahmadinejad are not recognized YET in the English dictionary. If they were, it gives them the power to be considered worth respecting, and KNOWING, not for what they truly are, but for "leaders", when they are only monsters, and all hate your country, America.

Some folks would even want to capitalize their names. Terrifying!



McCain does not come up as an error, Ms. First answerer. Stop the Liberal lies!

it incredibly is unhappy the spell examine in basic terms works for the 1st component to my questions and then often times on no account. I merely variety away and then each and each now and then somebody "insults' me and states that I might desire to learn how to spell and that's while i actually variety super rapid and uncertain in the event that they might examine the salute to their deal. yet i does no longer have faith the spell examine that a techniques. some have pronounced you could actualy use yet another variety and placed across it in, yet no longer that 'elite' on the laptop. Take care.

You're right. It's dumb.

I don't think it really matters if their name comes up on spell-check.

"Obama" is not a word. It's a name.

"Pelosi" is not a word. It's a name.

Therefore, they aren't in the dictionary, nonetheless a spell-check.

Obama's name comes up on my spell check. So does Pelosi and a hundred other names. Why should Obama get heat for something like that? Sometimes people allow fanciful and supernatural notions to overpower their good sense.

There are lots of names of people that don't come up on spell check. What is that supposed to mean? That has to be an even stupider attack than implying he will make America an Islamic state. How low will these people go?

I really don't know why people care at all... they could just learn to spell then they wouldn't have to wine at all. Or they could stop being overly sensitive.

If you spell check his name - it is recognized as an error and the susggested spelling is -OSAMA - of all things.

Don't know, don't care. My parents are voting for McCain and I don't care about politics. I wonder why I answered this question in the first place.

Spell check is smart, Obama is an error. Voting for him will also be an error.
