Ask and you shall receive a SPELL CHECKER!
Or is that a SPULL CHEEKER...?!
For those who may not already know, to me, the best and fastest spell checking is built-in to your browser for checking forms such as input fields and text boxes (like the one I am typing in to submit this post right now).
For Firefox: (3.0.11 for sure) Right click on any text area, such as the text area where you would submit your post, and make sure "Check Spelling" is checked. It will add a red underscore to any words it does not find in the dictionary.
For IE: (Tested by me on IE8) Download this add-on -- http://www.ieaddons.com/en/details/Time_Savers/ieSpell/ straight from Microsoft. Install the add-on and it will work the same way as it does in Firefox. To check spelling on text areas, right click somewhere in the text area and select "Check Spelling". You may wish to Google for a spell checking add-on for IE7.
For Opera: See this -- http://www.opera.com/browser/tutorials/spellcheck/
For Google Chrome or Safari WebKit: Same instructions as Firefox above.
