People commonly misspell things on those media which would be easily caught if they used a spell checker. It wouold be really nice to be able to identify misspelled words/correct spelling in form fields. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Misspell a word in a form 2. Press submit 3. Be made fun of by your friends for misspelling a word Actual Results: Nitpicking by/of mozilla users about the use of 'e' before ing, etc Expected Results: mozilla should/could have identified the words as not existing in a dictionary, and when right clicked suggested similar correctly spelled words.
I believe there are extensions that do this. Also, look at spellbound (http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/)
