PS. I can't spell either. It's an out of date skill like translating morse code :P. However, as of vgc 2.0 I have yet to find a computer on which the spell checker actually works... and I'm too lazy to do it in another app :(

And people wonder why I hate people.

It's not quite as ridiculous as hating humanity because one man feels english spelling, as a skill, is of dubious practicallity.

OSX built in spell check works most of the time, but if you mark up others comments you have to go to the spell check under edit, rather then just key commanding or using your mouse its a bit of a pain, and honestly i was surprised when it first happened. but there is my workaround for ya.
on to the spelling issue, unless we have truly formal rules running through out one language what is the point online? the rules of english between BE and AE have drifted, and even in the subcategories there are major issues. Most people completely ignore typographic rules when typing up or can not apply them due to how apps work, so i see this as no different.
hell we can not even agree on what words mean let alone, spelling and usage,
I know this is not isolated to english but its the area im most familiar with
