We don't need no spell checkar!

(Also, Firefox comes with 1)

So, first, it's the author's responsibility to write legible text. Firefox (which is default in Ubuntu) even has a spell check built in, so it shouldn't be a problem to change all the words with these cute red points under them. (If it is, you probably should consider not using a computer anymore).

I'm quite tired of reading things which just don't make sense. Ironically, the people who excuse themselves for their English are more often understandable than those who don't.

And I have absolutely no idea what you mean with "indexer" and performance. Brainstorm quite surely uses a DB and with that, an indexer. Also, the speed with which the site is built is totally independent form any form of indexing.

Or, those of us who take our ideas seriously could be careful to avoid typos.

dragoninsane's post has several fundamental errors which might not be correctable even by the more advanced spell-checkers, e.g.:
"[...] should correct correct common typo's [...]"
Capitalization and punctuation are also abused.

I think we should extend it to include proper capitalization and spaces after periods, as well as other grammar errors. Then it should have the ability to do font sizes and list environments. Lastly, it should be able to save the idea as an ODF or print to PDF. For those of you that caught it, sorry for being facetious.
