Dont be shy.

Well no, but we are willing to pass the hat around and all pitch in if you need a tutor (note, a Tudor is not the same thing).

Spell-checking is usually provided at the web browser or OS level (it's better and faster to do it this way).

Firefox and Chrome have nice spell-checking support built-in. Mac OS also provides spell-check support in every application, since it's a system feature.

You can download the latest Firefox for Windows here (English-UK), or the latest Google Chrome here. We highly recommend our members use Safari/Firefox/Chrome for a better experience and improved security 😀

Edit: Internet Explorer 10 will also have spell-check, Microsoft is just really slow to join in.

XP is fine, so long as you're not using Internet Explorer 6 (or 7) 😀

In case anyone is curious, the browsers we test and support for ΩF include: the latest versions Firefox, Chrome, Safari (on Windows and Mac), and Internet Explorer 9+. IE8 will also work, just not as well. Opera will work, but we don't test it (it's far too edge-case).

The browsers we most recommend are: Chrome, Firefox, Safari.

Internet Explorer is generally a pretty horrible browser, and by using older versions of it you'd be losing out on a lot of nice stuff around the web. You're also putting yourself at a far greater security risk by running out-dated browsers from any vendor. Everything server-side on ΩF is locked down to excessively paranoid levels.
