Spell check not only makes proofreading faster and easier, it is great for 1-click word lookups when I don't know how to spell it.

I'm kind of touched that you would use a fail on me.
Personally, I've always proof-read my own stuff that I type for short stuff like forum posts. It's not because I'm a snob when it comes to spellcheck, it's because wayy back when I first started posting on forums in the early 2000s, there were no spellchecks on browsers. So I guess it became a habit of mine to just plain proof-read my own posts. It's not a perfect system, I still make mistakes sometimes, but my posts are far from looking like Mugen Evolution's or some other careless poster.
Now if I was typing up a lengthy report for class, where I'd get docked a point for every single grammatical/spelling error, I would use a spellcheck. AFAIK, no one would use an internet browser to write up a report...
