How Not to Lose Respect on the Internet by TheMadTinker

Step 3: Speel Al Yuor Werds Correctley

This one is just common sense. I can not speak for everyone, but I lose a lot of respect for a person when they neglect to check their spelling, especially when many websites have a button to check your spelling. Firefox also has a built-in spell-checker that, when enabled, helpfully puts a red line below any misspelled words and presents you with a list of suggestions when you right-click the offending word.

Be aware that spell-check will not save you from homophones; your words may all be spelled correctly, but that does not mean that they are the correct words. Homophones are words that sound the same, but have different meanings and often different spellings. If the Black Knight had attacked Aurthur at night, he might have fared better.

In Firefox, you can spell-check fields such as the title-box example here, you have to right-click and select "Spell check this field" (Or something to a similar effect).
