Vera jumped down from the truck and rolled into the other man, who was standing there, going, "Huh?" He wnt down and she finished him with a vicious kick to the head. She hadn't been a riverboat gambler for five years for nothing.
She'd been making a profit?

Behind her, the two thugs looed at each other and said, "There were at least five of them and they were all men bigger than us, right?"
Looed at each other? Making a public convenience of themselves, were they?

I think Vera must be my (Xena's) first cousin once removed, or some such!

Geoff, you're looking much stripier today! Vicious too.

Hmmmmmmm. I was really wondering about that object. (doubtfully....)

But I love big kitties ... skritch, skritch, skritch! This one looks like such a sweet cuddly baby:

Ummm, there is one already? When you post, there is a little checkmark in the upper right corner that says "Check Spelling" when you hover over it...

It's only on Internet Exploiter (or at least not on Firefox).

On the Reply (or via go advanced) in the top right hand corner about the smilie selection is a little tick mark with "ABC" above it.

It does require you to download a tool (ieSpell).

I expect that would create havoc in the French and German sections of the forum, if i were more noticeable. Or is it an international spellchecker?

I think you can download dictionaries for other languages, but I've no idea how well they work. And I doubt they are automatically linked, however since the button is a "click to check" interface, and you don't get silly red squiggly lines, its not too bad (though I must admit I rarely use it).
