Nice idea, but someone has to create the code / patches.
#2
If I could code I would.
#3
Already done it :)
See my sandbox.

Sounds great Thox. I can't wait for the official release.
#5
I find this a very useful idea.
I think this would be a nice feature to include in the next Drupal version.
Modifying to latest dev version.
#6
Hmm. I'm certainly against spelling errors, but:
-- given that many browsers implement this for text areas, I'm not sure that its all that necessary for Drupal to do the same.
-- obviously such a proposed system would have to handle a variety of languages, I'm assuming the dictionaries are pluggable?
#7
There are a number of contributed spell checker modules:

I don't really see this as a core feature.
#8
Marking this as won't fix as #6 and #7 mentioned, it is now commonplace for browsers/operating systems to include spell checking capabilities and there are a number of modules that already provide this capability.
However, this would have been a useful feature in 2005.
