Spellchecker

My disk messed up and I finally am back in touch with the world. My spellchecker was lost and I need to find a new one. Can anyone suggest a good, FREE, safe spellchecker I can download?

......or, if you're a Mozilla Firefox user, than SpellBound would be your answer.

Another great little utility I use is WordWeb. You can check any word, anytime, in any application.

OS X has a system-wide spellchecker built in to it...

But for PCs, I think Google Toolbar has a spellchecker built in to it.

So a people with a the one spellchecker is two make a spelling mistakes and grammar errors grammer since because not all of it is wood be found. Actually they can provide a false sense of security for those that don’t want to proof read.

You got that right... There are a lot of words I wish I could REMOVE from the spelling check's dictionary. Unfortunately all you can do is add words.
