Just a quick question, I noticed today that when I write a post  in the compose window before posting, and I spell a word incorrectly I get a nice red line under it to indicate the incorrect spelling. Yesterday I upgraded Firefox to the latest version, so my question is: Has Firefox "added" something to web based inputs or is this part of the new server here at SimV. What ever the answer it is a great feature.

The Google Toolbar has a similar option in IE6. (I haven't installed IE7.) Spell checkers could be useful in some circumstances but they can't distinguish between similar sounding words. That's the most common error I've noticed on this forum & the Internet as a whole. In fact it seems to be getting worse.

Wood it be worse to get a spell cheque programme good enough to cache miss spilt words, or are we domed as is the hole of the Internet?
