why is the spellchecker on this computer unreliable according to the dictionary ?

It's not the computer.  It's the program you are using or the website.   I'm afraid they haven't perfected any system that uses spellchecker.  You will have to depend on the dictionary when you suspect an error.  I have seen many even in this site.\n\nGood Luck

There is an autocorrect thing on in the Tools Drop Down menu.  It has an autocorrect that changed HDA to HAD.  Simply go into the AutoCorrect thing and remove the autocorrect for the specified word.  This doesn't have anything to do with the Custom Dictionary, as all that does it tell you when a word is spelled wrong, and gives you close suggestions.

Download Firefox 2.0. It has a great spell checker all built-in! It checks spelling as I type this! It works great,  you'll love it!\n\nIf you already have Firefox 2 then just go to: Tools > Options > Advanced Tab > Check My Spelling As I Type\n\nAnd that should make it work! :)

The real question is:\nWhy don't people use spell check?

Perhaps we should earn points for correcting spelling mistakes in the question... Thanks to Konqueror's inline spell checking, I don't make mistakes myself any more (cue people jumping to prove me wrong).\n\nOh yeah, and thanks for stealing my electroshock keyboard idea; I've been advocating that one for ages!

You could be a little more specific. Is it a word processing program, or another application that uses word processing goodies like spell check?  Usually it's an icon in your tool bar that says ABC with a check mark under or beside it.  If it's isolated to one application, it might be corrupted in just that app., or if it's shared like in a Suite situation like MS Office, Suite, Works, or a computer OEM Suite type deal then it'll be corrupted in all the apps in the package, bundle, suite, what have you.  Sounds like re-install time, hopefully you can just replace the corrupt file and not lose anything else.  Do backups often?  Naw, me neither.  It really sucked to be me when my disk crashed.\nAnd if you have a corrupt file you may have viruses and diseases and Horse running around without their Trojans on, and f***ing your machine.  Get a good Anti-Virus program.  I like Norton/Symantec myself, though many will argue.  Just a suggestion.  I don't deal in Spam.\nGood luck.  Any more info on what's actually happening would be helpful to us wannabe consultants.  Hey, I ain't gettin' Geek $$$$ for this, just tryin' to lend a hand.  Write me if I can be of further assistance.\nGood luck.\nAlan

May be your system does not support some of the activex . Because the spell check function in yahoo is an activex.
