Use Firefox as a browser, it's got built in spell check.
I also find it a lot more user friendly.

Firefox is a good start, but even better, I've now added Spell Check!

Simply click on Spell Check below the post to correct it!

And it seems to work well. It won't fix grammatical errors up, but for general misspellings it will do the job.

For those that don't want to spell check your posts, you can turn it off in your profile

Whereabouts in profile?
I couldn't find it to turn OFF.
I prefer using my browser (Firefox) to do the spell check job.

It is slow and sloppy, and the profile option code did not install correctly.

I've removed it now and am looking for an alternative, but the Firefox spelling option is probably going to be the best suggestion.
