Mine stopped working and I don't know why.  I'm not worried though, my normal spelling is fine without it.

You can't flip a magical switch and become a good writer at a whim. If your writing sucks in forums, it will probably suck when you try to write in 'professional' settings too. Spell check and grammar check don't make you a good writer either. Practice does.

In any case as long as your message is understandable it's ok.  That is just the thing though; a lot of things people say are incomphrehensible. Being a bit off is nothing to worry about but sometimes you get the impression that not only are some people not bothering with grammar but  they also seem to be going out of their way to make things harder to understand.
