Theres no spell checker in IE and all the add ons you can get straight up suck. It drives me nuts. I have to use Microsoft IE for work because of compatibility issues with certain sites i need to go to. I use Chrome at home and it has spell check and its 100% better and faster but im stuck with IE for work.

When I was in 10th grade my school tested me for spelling and I placed at a 4th grade level. My normal spelling is so bad microsoft and google spell checker cant even make a suggestion or come close to the word im looking for (several times daily). For some people spelling is not a strong point. Some people may also have dyslexia or at least a mild form of it and not know it. Poor spelling isn’t normally indicative of laziness although there are counter measures you can take.

For most of my posts that are more than 2 sentences long, I paste it in a email first for spell checking then repost it in the forum. The problem is its unrealistic to expect people to always think to do that for 1 or 2 sentences or statements, which thread titles are.

As someone who has struggled with spelling my entire life ive adapted when using IE and use certain tricks, but I still make mistakes regularly. If you want to blame someone blame Microsoft IE. They easily could implement spell checker like chrome or firefox but don’t, likely as a effort to push their Office products.
