An Autospies built-in spellcheck would basically be a very wrong idea.

You cannot load the large dictionary when accessing the page so the checking would have to be done on the fly, as you type. This will put additional undesired load on their servers and the whole checking would be much, much slower (time for online communitation, done by a slower webpage).

At the same time web browsers basically come with their own spellcheckers. The Burningfox has a neat one, I don't know about the IE, in Opera you probably have to install something. Dictionary resources are installed locally, on your computer, no additional online communication need to be carried through, the searching and checking is faster as it is done by your own processor which basically does nothing for most of its time. Autospies servers bear no extra strain.
