More would-be writers should edit themselves for, interest and value before offering up their musings. An example might be blogging. Too many bloggers have nothing to say. There are no ideas and no passion and yet they mistakenly imagine that the world has the time or inclination to wade through their thoughts committed to text. There is more to it than that at least there should be. Wit would be nice, and sarcasm, while being the lowest form of wit, may be the highest form of intelligence, so I can accept that in a piece of work. I simply urge any writer who would have kept a diary or perhaps just the thoughts in his head to keep doing that. Go public when you really have something to say.

For spell checker, Firefox 2 need add a dictionary of your language before it can check the error. Both IE7Pro and Firefox 2 support multi language and IE7Pro can work at IE6 as well as iespell. See http://www.ie7pro.com/spell-checker.html. BTW, Google tools bar can do as good as IE7Pro spell check. Wonderful!
