What's with the the Spelling Errors Flag

I KNOW I spell better than some of the people on here. I assume this is a feature set being tested so know worries. Question though, will a spell check feature be added to this in the near future. That might help out a lot.

Also, how about a Category called "About WebAnswers". Be nice to have all the postings about this site on one menu area and outside of other. Just a thought.

Yes, I think the tolerance should be set lower. I find myself posting good quality responses, but because a city like "manuel antonio" is not in the dictionary (as my assumption), should not be flagged. Instant gratification is worth a lot! The heartbreak of needing a moderator review is sometimes frustrating. Possibly the system can flag really bad words, and give less importance to a few misspellings. Though - I see the benefit. Very poorly worded responses probably need more moderator attention.

One other thought... Once a user gets to a certain amount of awarded answers - possibly the system makes spelling less important for that person. After all – these people have been around a while and posted a lot in the past – they should get some benefit of doubt.
