Where the heck is spell check?

I'm usually a pretty good speller, but I use spell check sometimes. Today, when I post an answer, the spell check option is not there!

Update:

I've gotten that option twice I think..but not since after that.

    I use the spell check all the time. Even when I know every thing's fine, it's become a habit. And like you, I find it annoying when some one fails to use it. The lack of punctuation is also rather irritating and can lead to some major confusion. Humans have the ability to recognize words even when miss spelled, but the text type thing just tears me up and I don't usually bother with them. Also what I find semi-annoying is some one using 'ur' instead of 'you're' while criticizing others about spelling. lol

    Now a large pencil with an eraser pops up if it is needed to the right of the screen. It also has a punctuation logo. The suggested corrections show up at the bottom.

    It should pop up automatically on the RIGHT side of your screen if/when you make mistakes. If you type well, you won't see it!
