I had no idea so many people were using off-brand, no-name browsers and
newsreaders in this newsgroup!
I assumed that since most everyone uses a Microsoft Windows operating system
that they would also use the compatible Microsoft internet explorer browser
along with the Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express for the newsreader and
email client which requires one to have word processor software to activate
the spell check feature!.

I never ever use Microsoft for web-browsing, email, or newsreading. My computer
has never suffered a virus, either...

WinVN (my newsreader) is old and has no spell checker. I just have to try my best.

Obvious typos never bother me. Creative spelling of plant-related terms might
get an, "Oh, do you mean [this]?" (A spell-checker's dictionary is likely lacking
in horticultural terms and scientific names.)

I should add that I know of very bright people who are spelling-impaired. (There is a
medical term for it.)
