Another vote for FireFox. The spell checker works very well.

Yeah, but I can't see where to customise the language. For instance, Firefox has just flagged "customise" as being incorrectly spelled. In proper English (i.e., that which is taught in England!), words like customise end in "ise" not "ize".

I think my biggest pet peeve is people who don't know the difference between "could care less" and "couldn't care less" (as in "I could care less about PiP extras on my Blu-rays"). If you "could care less", then you like/want something, which is the opposite of what most people actually mean. WHat you really mean is "I could not care less", that is, you don't care for said feature.

Go like your making a post. Right click in the area your typing in and go down to "Languages" and then "Add dictionaries". Once complete, you use the same combo to change your dictionary for spelling

Yup. Version 2.0 added a bunch of great features, including spell check. All you have to do is right click in the entry field and select "Spell check this field".

I have come across a great little one (only problem is I can't have it work) in the google tool bar there is a spell checker and it works really well when I remember to use it

Ok, I have noticed quite a few posts recently in which the titles have many misspelled words. Is it too much to ask for this site to instigate a mandatory spell check on the title before a new thread is approved.

Seriously, this is a very well respected web site in which many thousands of people view and for the new posts to have misspelled words in the title that appear on the front page is something that should be fixed immediately.

I know many other posts to this topic have suggested people can spell check with their web browser, but many people are too lazy to do this.
