I generally spell most of it right, and I read it once over before posting to catch any mistakes I've made. Since I'm far too lazy to install any add-ons for Internet Explorer I don't even have a spell checker anyways.

I occasionally misspell words and have to use spell check. I don't usually do so for common words, but certain words trip me up when they look correct misspelled.

As for straight up typos, no. I have muscle memory and I can tell when my finger slipped, even if spellcheck wouldn't catch it because I typed an actual word.

the only thing the spell check does for me on a regular basis is tell me I've spelled my own first name wrong... so yes, I do generally spell words correctly without spell check, although it does help when I make a brain-dead mistake like not hitting a key I thought I hit.

What internet spell check?
No, really, the fact that this exists just makes me doubly mad that people are always screwing up.
Well, except the ESL crowd; they've earned respect enough to make up for it.

Most of the time, yes. As a result, I do not usually need spell check. But, there are some words that are almost always tricky for me though, like words such as Mediterranean, appropriate, repetitive, and other words with similar spelling patterns, as well as random typos which I usually catch.

The only time I get the spell check in a tizzy is when I use words that aren't real like "ownage", so I'd be just fine without the built in spell check.

Hell no, go look at some of my reviews, every time i post one, someone always yells at me for my spelling and grammer.

I'm a grammar and spelling Nazi so I tend to check my writing as I go, no matter how trivial. So I guess a spell-check would just be redundant.

Yes, I spell correctly, but I re-read my posts before I post them. I use it sometimes, but only for a few tricky words.

I have the odd typo from time to time, but my spelling is almost always perfect.

Though there have been times where I'm not sure how to spell a specific word, but I usually just type the word as I would spell it into Google and it gives me the correct spelling (although I'm usually right to begin with).

I don't personally have a spell-check for my internet, but I admit that it would be a nice feature to have. After all not everyone is a spelling bee champion, and having a little help (or a lot of help) from our good friend spell-check isn't a bad thing.

I know how to spell the words I use (in part because I avoid using words I can not spell), but I am fairly prone to making typographical errors, which Chrome's spellchecker (which comes up as being spelled incorrectly) politely catches and underlines for me.

When I want to be a fancy pants, I need a spell checker.

Otherwise, I'm a tremendous (got that one first time :D) speller

I love words. So no. I haaaate myself when I spell something wrong. Any word I spell wrong I write it on my hand in sharpie so I can try and memorize it throughout the day. Apocalyptic is one that goes on my hand constantly.

I don't rely heavily on spell-checkers, sometimes I don't think I need them. However, give me words that have double consonants (like "occasionally") or ambiguous sounding vowels (like "consonants", which I did use earlier in this post and used a spell-checker to correct) make me rage a little inside.
