3. There is a new IE spell checker add-on
Have had it for about a week an just love it. Just highlight the text, right click, choose spell check, then all oops are gone.

You can download it here

They have a thesaurus option, too. I just open another window, give the dictionary a quick peek and go on about my business.

8. I've done it myself
Of course, since I don't use IE I can just open it in another tab, rather than having a whole other window... :-)

11. I do, also
I used to be a proofreader and the misspellings here just jump out at me. I don't want to be a pain in the a**, but I have this great urge to correct half the stuff I see posted. I know that people may get carried away by their enthusiasm, but there are intelligent folks here and the misspellings and typos are way out of proportion. Maybe it's just me.:shrug:
Also, the incorrect use of apostrophes makes me crazy. It's is a contraction for it is, its is possessive.:grr:
