Spelling!, OK, sorry, it's driving me f'ing crazy! Options

[Series9]

Is there any chance of having a spell/grammar checker on this site?

I'm really sorry, but you guys should at least try to type the English language correctly.

I fully understand the occasional type-o, but come on, at least try to speak the language.

We have European members who speak (type) better English (American) than most of you cheap bastards.

Don't hate me for bringing this up, but it's starting to wear me down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)
