It is a fact of life that, to some extent, we are judged by our spelling, grammar, vocabulary etc. In a forum like this however,
I think everybody overlooks errors because everybody makes them and it's no big deal. This isn't a final exam and who needs to be so anal about a casual exchange of ideas. Spell Check programs (no I really don't use them every post) can help someone that is struggling and wants to improve the quality of their writing. These programs can be a crutch, thus a detriment, but also a means to learn and improve writing if one has the will to improve. (Did I spell detriment right?)
