Why the hell is the word "Obama" still flagged on the DU spellchecker???

[zbdent]

Mods - can't this be fixed???

I mean, we're talking about the next president of what will be left of the United States ...

1. Putting on my ex-mod hat ...

It's not the DU spell-checker that's your problem - 'Barack' and 'Obama' are both listed in that. It's probably your browser, or an add-on for it (eg Firefox).

The DU spellchecker is what you activate when you click the 'Check Spelling' button at the bottom of the 'Post a message' screen. That recognises those names.

2. The spellchecker is in your browser

Do a search on "(your browser) spell checker dictionary" and you'll find info on how to update it.
