Actually we discovered a few days ago that Google's API that it uses had shut down. For quite some time it was apparently saying correct no matter how badly you butchered the post.
I've been debating whether or not to replace it. What browsers don't have it built in now? My Firefox underlines everything wrong in red and even lets you add words to its dictionary.

Bobby,
Take a look at the Snitz topic. You can fix the spell check very easily.

I honestly didn't realize that there are browsers without spell check still out there.

@SsuperDdave, yeah, it is really quite sad that it took MS so long to add spell check, especially since they already have the database and basics for it in Word.

Just review your posts carefully before post reply.
That way, you can pick up a lot more of your own errors, than just those of the spelling type.
I usually re read before posting to see that what I wrote is what I intended, clean up spelling errors, delete double words, add words that I left out, and add punctuation.
Very few of my longer posts have paragraphs that are more than 4 lines in length. A post can be harder to read with long paragraphs.
THEN I use the spell checker if I remember!

IE 10 has its own spell check now! I wasnt aware that people still used IE anymore  I do keep a copy on my MacbookPro running Win7 64bit for system upgrades though. Other than that - yech surfing the web has always been safer (IMO) and more pleasant on almost anyother browser.  But now I have to remember to spell check before posting, thank goodness for the edit, why I edit so much. Mostly I use Safari or Chrome. Also once in awhile Firefox (just because of the CCF Toolbar)! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
