IE7 Add-on - Spell Check

Are you of the many who have gone to what is called "Cloud Computing". Cloud Computer is a term, that has become more common, in the last year. It refers to using Internet Explorer to write and edit blogs, and any other function that would otherwise require a program installed on your computer.

I use my web browser mostly for posting to blogs and and social network website. Because I am not using MS Word, my bad spelling becomes very evident. So when I found that I could add a spell check to Internet Explorer, I became very happy.

ispell is a little add-on for you web browser that will underline in red if it thinks that a word is misspelled. Once you down load the program it is installed and attaches itself to Internet Explorer.

As you can see from the screenshot on the left. The misspelled word is underlined in red. When I right click on the word, I am given several options as to the correct spelling. If I feel that I have spelled the word correctly, I can add that spelling to the computer's dictionary or just leave it alone.

I am always afraid to add a word the dictionary, that I think is spelled correctly, but in reality it misspelled.
