A spell-checking feature would be really nice, I have no idea how this can be done but I've seen it on some forums similar to this one.

A imagine a "Check spelling" button that takes your text open it in a new window and underline your mistakes. We all make them.

The spelling on the internet is horrible, lets do our best to keep spelling somewhat good.

(By all means, get the important things done first, this is just a minor feature)

The problem is that it probably wouldn't be set to the Queen's English. One to consider, but probably not top priority atm.

I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I ran this poem threw it,
I'm sure your please too no,
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

A spell checker can be useful, but they have limitations. Between all the jargon, homonyms, non native English speakers and just plain bad spelling there are sure to be problems.

I don't need it, but others might. :)
