Many of the other junkies have a talent for spelling and don't share my view that "How do you spell?" is an opinion question, Some would even go so far as asking what is the proper spelling of a word, which is a fact question

there is a build in dictionary that I can acces using spotlight (that's a search function

build into OS X). it's really easy and fast. I just type in the word and voila. Done.

I keep a shortcut handy on my desktop....

If I'm ever not sure, I post into word...  If you're using Firefox, I believe it comes with its own spellchecker...

As for my PC, I don't mind the google bar that much.  It's one of the lesser "invasive" toolbars to use...

tool bars (the add-on ones) seem more invasive on the pc

Of course, many of the things it finds are normal session related cookies.   Lots of nuance there...
