Have Word or Word Perfect or any of the popular word processors open, type your post in there and spell check and then copy and past into the message filed.

Ben, I tried it. Annoying little program, it won't spell-check a block of text, it on ly runs on the fly, interrupts your flow of work. Plus of course I'm deaf and the beep don't reach me.

I had another one of these, something like it, a couple years ago, but it was so erratic I de-installed it.

Brilliant idea. I consider my writing a success if every word is close enough for spell check to bring up the right spelling first try. Otherwise ... I'm lost.

Edit: Damn typos!!!!

... or install dictionary.com's toolbar and get spelling, definition and such just a right click away.

It does not handle full blocks of text at a time, nor does it check in real time -- but that is what proof-reading is for (and one of these days I will learn to do just that). The toolbar does not have to be visible for it to be used, by the way.

Let me show you a great little application :D

I am the worlds worst typer - my fingers go 10 times faster than my brain so i need to spell check everything.

Forget firefox - makes everything huge.

I use this: iespell

All you do is right click to check spelling. Or if you just want to check a paragraph - simply highlight and right click.

Simple, clean and fantastic.

Huh?

I use Firefox on 4 computers and on all of them it renders nearly all web pages exactly the same as I see them in IE.

Well i really do not care if some one make a spelling mistake as long as i understand what they mean

I think should understand that some people are not native english speakers
I see this kind of posting on many sites and i find it quite silly to demand proper english instead of appreciating the efforts of people who speak other languages put into communicating in english
