Someone twittered about the version of Firefox with an "orthographic corrector." I wondered why this was so great, and whether this was something I needed.

So I looked up "orthographic" on Google: Of or pertaining to orthography, or right spelling.

That's right, orthographic corrector = spellcheck.
