okay perhaps this is better suited into the randomness, but i see a lot of people with various reason spelling quite badly from time to time, so here is a good tip.
the opera web browser seems to gotten a spelling program implanted into it with this latest update. I used it for a day or so and it seems to work great. It highlights misspelled words with a red text under it and if you click it, you will see suggestion for the word.
http://www.opera.com/
Hope this is found helpful:)
Edit: posting it here mainly i want people to see it, but if it is too ill suited i will move it to the right forum.

you also must understand this is not an english only game. and since this is an english only forum, most foreigners(50% of wow players i assume) try their best to speak english, let alone spelling english. give em some slack, theres more than 1 language in this world.

I'd say that giving people advice of software that could help them perform better would be the best kind of slack to give.
Besides, I'm not a native English speaker either, still I think I put more effort into my spelling and grammar than 95% of the natives in here.

i am aware of this, it is why i posted it here. I am also a person who is not born in an English speaking country.
But to be fair here, if you write a topic who says something like you heard a child speaking English because he gets a lot of misspelling. Then his saying will be tarnished by the sheer fact some people may have a trouble understanding him, also with a lot of spelling fault it can be a headache to read it. I am not trying to force anyone to use this, i am just saying this web browser got a spelling program implanted who is easy to use. It will help people who do have trouble to spell of various reason and appreciate extra help.
I am a bit surprised of the negative respond here, it seems people think i try to insult them personally.
Also could you link to that Firefox program so i can take a look at it?
Also to another poster who think is opera equals mac. I use a windows vista, i tried using Internet explorer but it kinda sucks. Now i got a tip from a friend in guild who is a programmer in the gaming business that opera is something he uses and works well for him. I tried it, at first it was a bit odd because i was not used to it. But after a day or so, i understood why this was a great web browser. It is faster than IE and was more user friendly, it gave you a lot more variety. Never looked back after using it.

It's defaulted...
But if it's not, Tools - Options - Advanced - Check my spelling as I type.

It's ticked, but nothing's happening...

Is your default language set to English? If I type in a non-default language, no spelling correction is triggered.

It's set to English-United Kingdom. Is the spell-checker only available for the non-denominational English?
