12. More than likely, it's Firefox's
They added the automatic spell checker a year or two ago. I don't ever use the DU spell checker anymore.

5. I still like typing in "Palin" then hitting "ignore"
fyi, highlight "Obama" then right click and add to the dictionary.

6. A po-em
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
