So I was posting in a political thread earlier and I noticed that Obama gets the red underline of doom from the board spell check. Neither Clinton nor McCain provoke this hostile response. What nefarious board politics keep his name from being entered in the board’s approved lexicon?
Is there some way to add words to the spell check such as names and places?
The board does not have a spellcheck. Your browser might. The reason that it accepts Clinton and McCain is that those are relatively common names, whereas Obama isn’t (at least, in the US). How to add it will depend on your browser, but right-clicking on the red-underlined word will probably give you an appropriate option.
