Spell check broken?
Hold on, is this spell check feature new? I've never noticed it... (maybe it's a suggestion  )
Maybe someone has mentioned this before, but when you click the nice little button, you get a pop-up with the words:

MattH and MattHiggs - this is confusing 
I didn't think that spellcheck had worked for ages...

How many people would use if it did work?
I know I never have or will use it.

Another Spell Checker thread. 
No, it doesn't work. No, it hasn't worked in ages. No, Markos or Dan won't get rid of it.

I can remember back when it did work but it was a long long time ago.
I'm pretty sure that OT posts still added to your post count back then

I didn't even know it existed. Guess I wasn't here when it was working.  (I might not have used it, but it was sure nice to have that option to choose from. )

Basically they only need to comment out two small sections of HTML code in two templates in order to remove those remainants from the now obsolete free service by SpellChecker.net. Of course, you could use their subscription based service, but it would be far too expensive for Apolyton, in comparison to the advantage gain.

And others of us are too lazy to click an extra button to use a feature we don't need.

As long as people are able to convey their point effectively, a spell-checker is unnecessary.

Sometimes the points are conveyed more effectively when certain words is misspelled too.

I don't think any of us around here really need it. Maybe Zylka, but he's it.
