[BC] Does Gmail have spell checker

[Tom]

LOL...

I know what you mean - it sometimes will offer totally weird 
suggestions, especially when the error was caused by the adjacent key 
being typed - like an l turns into a k - or a ; - it frequently misses 
the mark, although it knows SOMETHING isn't right, and will highlight 
it..  Ditto with the T-bird spellcheck.  But at least it DOES catch 
about 90% of the errors.  The one it lets through are the homonyms - 
like red for read... which is more the function of a style checker - or 
a proofreader... ;-)
