Default Re: Spell checker

I switched from IE7 to Firefox a while ago because though it has a memory leak it's not as bad as that on IE7.

It does have a perfectly good spell checker, but I think that using any spell checker doesn't stop us from proof-reading things before we post; spell checkers don't find wrong but perfectly good words, like "their" instead of "there" or "its" instead of "it's".

For all that, English changes over the years and centuries; new words come into being and others disappear.
