    spelling on this list

    As one who can generally spell but not type, I have always managed to post a huge number of typos to this list due to the lack of a spellcheck in posting interface.

    Someone just pointed me to this little programme which lets you check the spelling in any dialogue box, clipboard or whatever

    Just starting to play with it, but it looks promising...

    The Google toolbar has an integrated spell check and a couple of other useful features.

    I've been using a similar program called ieSpell. Very handy. Free, too!

    Spelling is a bourgeois (had to look that up) concept...

    And remember to prey for piece.

    spelling on this list

    I don't want to start holy mac-win war, but Mac OS X have build in spelling checker (command + ; and command + which work in almost any application, and for sure works in Safari (I'm sure for versions 10.2.8, 10.3.9 and 10.4.2). I will be surprised if windows doesn't have such feature... but, anyone knows for something we might call "sentence checker"? (as generally non-english speaking person, I would really need such help)

    I use a program called "ieSpell", which uses the custom dictionary on my PC to check spelling against. It's free and can be found at www.iespell.com

    Thouroughly recommended!
