Discourse, our present forum platform, has outstanding strengths, but does not include a spellchecker. So how can you spellcheck your posts?
If you are asking, it is because you are using the Chrome browser on a computer to post Why:
both Android and iOS come with an integrated spellchecker
both Firefox and Safari browsers come with an integrated spellchecker.

But there is a much better option! On Chrome, I use the browser extension Grammarly. it spellchecks me on the fly, and with more power than any native spellchecker I use. I am very pleased with it. I use the free version, btw – it is enough for me.
So there you go – if you post with Chrome, the free Grammarly extension will give you excellent spellchecking

I got tired of seeing the spellcheck flag these words all the time, so I just added them to my dictionary. There are a bunch more I am probably forgetting.
I had an old phone that kept a list of all the words I’d inadvertently added to its dictionary over the years. Looking at that list was a horrifying glimpse into my soul.
