It can in fact be detrimental for non-Native speakers, because if the
spell checker suggests a word that is not at all what you meant, you
might go "oh, is that what it is?  OK." and pick something bizarre.

A spell checker is a technical solution to a social problem, and you
should only use those when the social solution isn't working.
