Appologies if this is a re-post but as I often get flammed for poor spelling I wondered if it was possible to add a spell checker function to posts much like you can in e-mails.
I have probably spelt something wrong in this post already. As much as I try to get it accurate, it would be helpful if this device was added.

Thanks,
School Boy

Fair enough but i've noticed it's been done on other forums.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's just helpful as even if I read and re-read before I post I might still not be sure if I've spelt something correctly.

You can always cut and paste everything from word if your that bothered, or if your spelling is that bad.

Personally I dont care :P

I was always of the opinion that by not correcting people's errors automatically, it helped convey character.

Try installing Safari and use it instead of IE, as it will correct spellings for you. Its teh same browser Macs have.

As others have said, Google Chrome or Firefox both have built in spell checkers which are the best option. They are better than anything we could build into the site and have the added advantage of working across every site you use.
