It just amazes me that some (intelligent?) posters cannot, or are too lazy to learn how to spell. In MHO it takes away some of the value from their posts.

I do agree with DNADave. This would be useful in many ways. One, for example, is to see if said thread is just being pushed down by many topic replies or if people simply do not know the answer or do not care to add anything.

Content is what is important.
There are many threads that have perfect spelling and horrible content.
