Lots of forums and websites will not allow commentaries that contain orthographic errors. Likewise, it offers a very bad impression to fill in a form full of mistakes. If you are a bit absent-minded and you need some help when it comes to writing formal texts, you can use Firefox Dictionary.
These dictionaries exist in lots of languages, not only English. Firefox has dictionaries in nearly any language: Spanish, Catalan, Belorussian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Chinese, Portuguese, etc... These dictionaries are very easy to use, it is as simple as installing any other Firefox extension. download the .xpi file from Malavida.com and open it with Firefox. In the pop-up window click on "Install Now".
In a few seconds, and once you have restarted Firefox, you will have a powerful correction tool in your favorite web browser. You will be able to activate or deactivate the dictionary by accessing the contextual menu that appears when you click the right button of the mouse on top of any text that you have written.
Once activated, any word that contains an orthographic error will be underlined in red, so that you can correct it. If you right click on the word, the dictionary will offer you various options. What's more, you will be able to add as many dictionaries as you like, and even include your own words to each dictionary to make them even better tool.
