Spell checkers are fine as long as they know their place. If a program wants to politely show me that it thinks a word might be misspelled (as Firefox does with relatively innocuous red underlining), that's fine with me. If the software will let me easily add a new word to its dictionary (as Firefox does with only a couple of mouse clicks), so much the better.
Now, software that installs with "auto-replace" enabled by default - well, THAT'S the Devil's work!
