I upgraded the SeaMonkey browser today to the newest beta version to discover that it has spell checking built in when using forums like this and the Trailer Sailor. Very easy to use, it underlines a misspell and a right click brings up spelling options to click on for a change.

If you're using NetScape or FireFox and the feature is not there yet, it should be coming as SeaMonkey is the developer platform for those two browsers.

As Gomer Pyle used to say...thankya, thankya, thankya

It works on Firefox. I just spell checked my last post and fixed my errors. I thought Gomer said 'Chazam, Chazam, Chazam.'

Google has a free spell check on their toolbar too. I've been using it now for a while now and it works great.

I have the Google toolbar too--pop-up blocker, spell-checker, calendar, and good ole Google search, always there.

<font size="1">Disclosure: Yes, I own some of their stock.</font id="size1">

I've had one for many years. It's called a dictionary. That's the manual version.
