Idea #5012: Brainstorm spellcheck

Description
No point having a duplicate scanner if it doesn't look up mispelt words too. Having a way to spellcheck stuff being submitted:
- Reduces duplicates
- Makes it easier to find an existing idea you like to vote on
- Seperates us from apes (well, some of us anyway, I still have some way to go).

And it doesn't need to be an uber flashy implementation.

As we get into easter though, I suspect we will see an influx of drunk-typed ideas which at least may be interpreted as something which becomes semi useful (provided you are creative). However, this would require a spellcheck to at least translate the garbage into words.

Use Firefox's spell checker.

+1 for spell checking before posting.

-2 for making it part of the site. Most decent browsers incorporate spell check now.

It would be better if spell checking were done by a single engine and dictionary that worked for ALL applications. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/13699/
