I have noticed that the spell checker on these forums is quite bad (no offence meant to anyone). I will get a word mostly spelled correctly, but the suggestions will be way off.
So I am wondering, is there a way to replace the spell checker, or am I (we?) stuck with tabbing to Google for a better spell checker?

I don't have a spell checker installed on the forums 
Browsers have spell checkers built into them. I believe you can disable them, though. There might also be plugins/extensions for better spell checkers.

Couldn't find it after a quick search. Might try looking harder tomorrow.

I don't really need it, but I use Firefox, and it pretty much has a built-in spell checker that can come in really handy if you actually need one, like Moka mentioned. I'm not sure what browser you're using and if other browsers have them (I'm sure they probably do), but I know Firefox is a pretty good option for that if you need it.
