[ieSpell](http://iespell.com/) is especially useful for messageboard posters that can’t edit their posts. It allows you to check your spelling before you post.

I only post this because I see a lot of posts that correct spelling. I am not trying to promote ieSpell and I am not affiliated with them in any way.

Liar!

::points finger::

Only a complete and utter shill for such software would ever even suggest that our spelling were any less than brilliant.

Sadly, I use a good browser, so I cannot partake. But it sounds nifty.

The way I see it: people who post spelling corrections are broken in some strange way, and the last thing I want to do is go out of my way to appease them. I generally spell well, but that’s because it pleases me, not because I’m afraid some freak is going to be upset.
