Being dyslexic I can't spell for beans so it is invaluable because it can add spell checking to my internet browser (NS Communicator) when I'm filling in forms and to my IRC so I don't look like a schmuck when I have a point to make and I misspell it. I also have it set up to work in Sherlock. After all, it can't find what I'm looking for if I've misspelled it.
I also use another function a lot. SpellTools will read highlighted text out loud with the Apple text-to-speech. In long e-mails or web page articles having something to read along with is a useful way to compensate for my difficulty reading.
The stamps and the tools sections are also of great use.
Even if you don't have the problems with text that I do I would like people to use and support this product. It is well worth having and continuing.
(Now let me spell check this before I send it. :)
