It's getting on my, rather impressive, tits.
Also, there are too many other languages in use on this site.
If it was multilingual, wouldn't it accept your spelling mistakes as perfectly spelt foreign words (if they exist, which is possible), or offer other correctly spelt foreign words to replace them with?
Would it also want to change intentional spelling mistakes and slang words and phrases?
There is a greasemonkey spell-checker add-on, which you can use yourself if your first language isn't English (or if you're not well enough educated), but I'm not sure which languages it can spell-check.
And there's always Nordlys (or others) to offer advice if she thinks you're worth it.
EDITED out spelling mistakes...

In all computer I use, there is always MS Word installed.
This is not the case with FireFox and Ourobourous Greasemonkeys Script.
If I'd try to install FF in every computer I use - then I would make life difficult for me.

Originally posted by demonseedThe most annoying mistakes are often those a spell-checker wouldn't detect - mixing up "your" and "you're", "it's" and "its", "too" and "to" etc. Those are the types of mistakes that make it hard to understand what the person is trying to say.

And as others have pointed out, people can already get a spell-checker if they want, and forced spell-checking would be a bad idea.
