How many use google to spellcheck their words often >_> ... because I know that i'm very guilty of using it.... Such a demoralizing action...
antisamitism *click*
"did you mean antisemitism?"
.... yes :'<
I mean it's practically saying "hah, you retard, did you mean antisemitism?"
>_>

Good ol' Dictionary.

In the off-chance I ever misspell/don't know how to spell a word. Words in English are seriously easy to spell correctly, with very, very few exceptions. >_>

Haha, yeah. I`m guilty. It`s really nice for the hard to spell words!

I apparently have a slightly difficult time with that whole phonetics thing, so I get words wrong a lot. Google is my friend.

Still, I think that Hayabusa's only caught me misspelling something twice.

I'm more inclined to hop over to http://www.m-w.com for some online dictionary action.

I still tend to use dictionary.com more for my spell check needs.

"Did you mean, Emo's are Stupid?"

Why yes! Yes I did!

Doesn't work all that well sometimes though and I end up 2nd guessing things I already know how to spell just because I see a red line show up.

Now if they integrated that magic that goes on in Word with auto-fix your mistakes, watch out, Radioactiveman!

Misspell w/intent or merely "type-hos"?

My grammar has major problems though, so I wonder why I'd point out a Solly mistake, even if just in jest. A Shiggles mistake though, ;o, hahaz @ joo. "AHAZ I has the Discko now!"

Red line under Radioactiveman, Solstis, and Hayabusa's in this post. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif However, Solly has no red line.

I use google mostly to spell check names. Like "Hally Barry nude" did you mean "hally Berry nude" ?
