WTF doesn't Camino take advantage of OS X's free spelling service? Are these developers INSANE or are they all just perfect spellers?

I'm not a perfect speller, which means I have to use Safari or Omniweb if I want to post at a discussion forum without coming off as an illiterate 'tard. A web browser needs a spell checker, period.

Based on my talks with a few OS X developers, adding OS X's spelling service is easy, Easy, EASY! Do it!

I'm angry. Angry because I want to use Camino, because I feel it is a superior browser to Safari, but Safari keeps pulling me back in with its spell checking capability.

Thanks for listening to my rant - hopefully Camino developers read this stuff. Not to worry, next I'm off to submit a feature request to the Camino group for spelling services, and a bug report on broken spelling services! Heh.

Spell Check! - jef van rijswijk

The reason Camino is the sleekest browser is because it is not loaded down with all this unnecessary crap. If you must post on all your tard forums then by all means use a different browser, but please leave Camino fast and sleek. It rocks just the way it is!

I work for a web hosting company so the latest versions of just about everything are always on topic. I spoke of using Safari for my Mac and was lead to believe I was seriously behind on the times! I've looked into Camino in the past to see what all the buzz was about but noticed it did not have spell-check. This is one of the top three features I must have in a browser due to my job and dyslexic typing fingers ("teh" was made popular for a reason!).

I'd love to hear about Camino being spell-check friendly soon.
Any progress?
Any good work-arounds?
I'm still Google searching often.

Sorry for the double post. The site timed out on send, so I posted again thinking the first did not commit. Whoops.
