Opera has a built in spell check, but I rarely misspell words in the first place.

In the toolbar at the top, so when it shows suggestions I know I'm right. I also use googles define function to determine I'm using the right word for what I mean. :P

I usually type my sentences in a Word doc first and then copy and paste over to the forums.

Or maybe they're using a web browser that has in-line spell checking...

Yes, all the time. Even if people ask me how to spell a word I will double check on the google if I'm not sure.

So does Chrome, but for some reason on gamespot when I choose "quote" or "reply" as opposed to their "quick" counterpart spell checking doesn't seem to work. and yes, I do use google as a spell checker when I need to.

I turn it off, I only want complicated words to be checked, I hate it trying to correct abbreviations etc.

This. Now on occasion I do go to Dictionary.com so I can look up a definition if needed.

No, word check is built into my browser so I just right click for a list of possible spellings and select the one that looks correct!

Yup. Firefox usually spellchecks it for me, but for some reason it doesn't work on gamespot.

ya it loads faster than word and is more accurate about correcting words than microsoft word which depending on the mispelling might not find the correct spelling

Yeah. Firefox lets me know when I misspell something and I usually correct it myself for the most part though....

Auto spell-check informs me of any mistakes I make; which are many. Though I still have to use Google often to check definitions.
