Suggestion: Addition of spellcheck

The addition of the equivalent of a spellcheck to UN proposals, issues, and possibly forum posts would be wondeful. Don't think I need to elaborate on that; now, it just needs input.
Of course, this just means more work for Salusa, but he's just there to be tortured with things like this, right?
That would be a _hell_ of a lot of coding.
People should just get in the habit of using a word-processing program's spellcheeker.

Aah, Myrth, but that would be logical. What I mean is somthing that points out the mistakes one has made when one types in text, not a [click here to check spelling] thing.

But I'm neither Salusa nor a coder, so I a) wouldn't have to do the work, and b) have no concept of how much work it is.

Text boxes are a standard client side thing. For a check-as-you-type spellcheck to work, you'd have to download the entire spellchecker before getting to work.
Sal is only one coder...

True, Sal is only one coder, but there aren't any other Tech Modlings.
So, scrap the idea. NS has enough bells and whistles and rampaging dictators already.

Thank you for discarding an idea that wasn't going to get implemented anyway. This way I don't need to crush your hopes and desires.
