I'll admit to being a chronic bad speller and being dyslexic doesn't help. In all honesty though, one of the main reasons I switched to Firefox over IE was for the real-time spell check. Unlike some however, I do make an effort to learn what mistakes I am repeatedly making.

This reminds me so much of Taylor Mali's "The Impotence of Proofreading". Check it out for some laughs, and then re-read this strip. Hahaha, I love it.
Title Suggestion: A checkered past.
Spell check is good. A stupid check function would be even better.

I am bumping Dan's Folce Securetee (did I spell it right?).
Unfortunately, the above both right and wrong... Good point about most of the words _actually_ being spelt correctly (that is the punch-line right?). However, although spell-check-everywhere feature of OS X (Windows now finally) isn't context aware, the in-app word-processor's spell-checkers sometimes are...
(The irony of this comment: I was trying to some up with a witty one-liner ending that used only phonetically accurate and correctly spelt, but grammatically incorrect, words... and after about two minutes of sitting here... I just couldn't do it... Hats off to you my friend...)
Wow... I just realized that my comments are listing in reverse order.. I am not sure why this is happening, or what the logic is here, but it is incredibly confusing...
The funny thing is that many viewers won't get it......

Title Suggestion: A linguist's nightmare
you missed "definate" and "definately" ;-) although I just realized, that spellcheck DOES underline them, so what's anyone's excuse?
Title Suggestion: Folce Securetee
Nice. I've been thinking for years that spellcheckers should be banned, at least until they can understand the context. Checking a text against a list of "correct" words is not very likely to correct the text when there can be a confusion between two "correct" words.
