Aparently this spell check works for Firefox. I do not know about Internet Explorer. Wish I could go back and edit my original post.

I thought I was a very good speller, that is, until I got a spell check on my computer and discovered that I had been spelling, well, imaginatively.
On my Mac here, on top of the screen is the tool bar with one that says EDIT, and on that EDIT, among other things, a spelling and grammar check/changer/suggestion maker. I can choose any of those I want. And while writing in a book, I can over power it and insist on regional accents, which it does not like. It doesn't like it when I say it don't make me no never mind...but if I want it there it will darn well stay.
I really have to be careful about spelling...it LOOKS better done my way most of the time, in spite of what the spell checker says.

That was my happy accident for the day!
