Nah, I don't need that. My spelling does suck, but most people seems to understand what I was trying to say...

Well yes, Firefox auto-spellcheck for me (like the above poster)...
But almost all my words are asking for correction ...
So i ignore it most off the time ...

Might be because the auto-spellcheck thingie is configured for french words...

There's one built into my browser, which is useful when I miss typographical errors. I usually edit my posts if I notice something amiss, too. Really wish other users would do the same. The general standard of posts has fallen drastically since I joined.

Yes. That doesn't stop me from occasionally misspelling words to taunt it, however.

The computer must be reminded that I am able to destroy it at any point in time, so as to remain humble and obedient.

I use one, it's called my brain. I don't really have a use for spell check, I rarely make mistakes and when I do I really don't care.

Only for RP posts, for everything else I can spell well enough for the occasional error not to have any effect on what's written.

I have one on my browser so unless I am deliberately trying to spell something incorrectly I will use it.

Never have done, but if i'm typing a word i'm not sure if i've spelt correctly, i'll copy and paste it into google and see what it has to say.

Chrome and Firefox have auto-spell check so I do, but it isn't as if I go out of my way to spell check it.

Considering it requires no effort on my side since it's built in Firefox, yeah I use it. Occasionally I learn a word or two that way.

I use Chrome. If it doesn't underline a word in red I generally don't notice.

If it's a long ramble I might give it a bit of a proof read, mind.

I don't use spellcheck, I like to look something up in the dictionary if I'm not sure on how it's spelt.

I will go back and edit a post for the most minor error in grammar/spelling/punctuation.

Spelling is important business, dammit!

Yep. Not that I'm a bad speller, I CAN spell pretty well (I am 13 and my birthday is in July, I have a 16 spelling age) Its just that I don't want to look like some morons on facebook who 'speeeeeeel liek theese' You just look stupid
