    It's about time that the spell check feature become standard in all browsers. It boggles the mind that this has for a very long time been the main reason to get the Google toolbar, and the browser folks have not responded by including it in their package. With all this web 2.0 hype, and you being the person of the year, why is there no spell checker in the tool we use to create all that damned content?

    Well done Seamonkey!

      Probably because most of us dont use browsers to create content, only to view it. Creators tend to use tooling with spellcheckers included.
      ... he says as creating "content" from within a browser.

      I'm not quite sure why I need a browser, e-mail/news reader, IRC client, and HTML editor together in one package.

      Well then don't download it and STFU. What a waste of bytes. Guess what? I don't need a mammogram. Maybe they should take those breast cancer awareness commercials off the TV!
