eMail Clipboard Spell Checker

Wow, cool! "That email is so nifty I'm going to forward it to my friends, or I'll just cut and paste the parts I like and forward those ... "

Whoa, my very good friend. As much as I like receiving your emails, there is a tendency for altered mail content to take on the vapid form of corruption typified by the 'telephone game'. The telephone game starts when you whisper a statement (Let's sign up) to the person next to you, and he to the one next to him, and her from person to person in a chain, until sooner or later you hear your statement whispered back to you with a completely altered and distorted message (Lighten up). One fact of forwarded typed messages is that, at least at first, the message is sent complete with errors. The result can be a message that is difficult to read and not up to what you'd expect from a conscientious writer.

"Spell checking" should be required of every writer, but let's face it -- it's a chore and at first glance everything looked pretty good, so why bother. I couldn't agree more. Let's help you further, though. I propose a spell checking utility run silently in the background of your graphical user interface in party with the clipboard utility. This spell checker doesn't have to be a monstrously sized and fully featured dictionary and editor, but simple word parsing and automatically highlighted output would be useful.

To cut and to paste your way to better correspondence.
