I am the worst speller in the world. Is there a way I can spell check my post before I submit them?
Thanks

Not that I am aware of. If there is a word i am unsure of I will google it. There are many dictionary sites out there as well. Hope this helps.

my usual method has been opening a new tab with >g 'insert word here'< in the address bar. Fortunately Opera 7.5 makes it very easy to do this as the option is finally there on the default right-click menu with GNU Aspell installed for *nix or the win32 environment.
edit: IE has been banned from all systems but the crashbox and firefox is my only currently gecko-based backup, so no recent experience with the other browser options out there.

Really only way would be if you're unsure of a word. Otherwise, if you're used to spelling it a certain way, there's no way I know of to scan for mistakes. Only checking your uncertenties.

... I tend to use only words I know how to spell... and even then I get most of them wrong...

Type it in word, run spell check, then cut and paste. That would be the easiest, that is if you have word.

Opera 7.5 with Aspell installed is still faster with a single right click on the word in question that will check and correct if needed.
