Spell Check

I'm probably not the first ever to suggest this, but I was thinking that a spell checking function would be nice to have on the advanced posting page.

BTW in case no one ever told you guys, the quick post function is awesome.

What I do is have Microsoft Word open and copy and paste my rough draft from the message window into word and let it tell me what I spelled wrong or what grammatical errors I have included in my post. Once it's all cleaned up I reverse my procedure and paste into the message window my new and improved text.

This makes look somewhat literate.

Cheers!

That's why I google a word or use webster.com. :-) I prefer using the quick reply instead of using the advanced reply...I like using the just the keyboard and not switching back and forth. That's what I would have to do if there was a spell check unless there was some sore of key command to do it. I do agree it would be a nice feature, though.

I just find it so much easier to press CTRL + N, ALT + D, type webster.com, and type in the word, or hit ALT + D, then tab to go to the Google toolbar.
