You have to remember to check the spelling checkers. Twice I've seen the ridiculous results of spelling checkers "correcting" the spelling of a French informal restaurant, a "brasserie".
Incidentally, If you board a boat in France, you may see lockers containing brassieres. They are for use if the boat starts to sink. In the U.S., we call them lifejackets.
Janko,
Thanks for that Mac OS X tip. Every time you think you know everything, you realize that you know nothing.
Tim,
The Google Toolbar spell check is great. Simple, accurate and able to be added to so you don't have to constantly deal with special vocab. It is available for just about every browser I can think of, so go and download it and type away... Just remember to use it (I manage to post my share of responses with typos too, just because I am too lazy/arrogant to use the thing).
Best,
The Google Toolbar supports the following languages: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.
thanks to this thread, i just discovered that safari on the mac supports osx's system wide spell checking. it's under the edit menu. who knew?
