I Hope I'm Not the Only One

Does anybody else find themselves using Google as a quick and dirty spellchecker when they don't want to stop and run a spellcheck or are using a web form or something without a spellcheck?

Nope; I use one of the three or four programs I always have open with a built in spellchecker.

Opera has spellchecking in all text boxes and emails. Yes, including this one. (It's optional, but an easy install.)

And MUSHClient has a spellchecker as well.

But the one I probably use the most (if I'm typing in none of the three clients, nor in my text editor - which also has a spellchecker) is gaim, because it spellchecks automatically and underlines incorrect words, so I can see as soon as I've typed it whether I've got it or not.

I've been tempted to switch over to GAIM. But, uh, I don't remember most of my passwords for ICQ/AIM/etc. Heh.

Your gaim spellchecks? Man, guess I should see if I need to update that package

It's an option, anyhow, if you let it download it. Using aspell, I think.

...Which, come to think of it, is what Opera is using too and I downloaded it twice. Oh well.
