/*
To turn on this spellcheck button, edit your [[Special:Mypage/monobook.js]] and add the following line (make sure it doesn't line break):

 document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="/w/index.php?title=User:Connel_MacKenzie/spellcheck.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript"><\/script>');

When you save it, make sure you CTRL-SH-R or WIN-CTRL-SH-R or Mac-Sh-R or whatever.  Or restart your browser.  If your browser has a javascript console, open it up and look for errors if you aren't getting the "check" icon on the toolbar on edit pages.

If you don't use the monobook skin, then you shouldn't edit on Wikimedia.  Too many things are simply missing, otherwise.
