Correct Poor Spelling Nearly Everywhere With a Right Click

Many people know that a red squiggly underline in Microsoft Word means a word is spelled incorrectly (or at least that Word doesn't recognize it). But fewer realize that the same spellcheck convention is used in many browsers, including Chrome and Firefox.

If you see that red squiggly warning while you're typing in Facebook, Gmail, or any other site, just right-click on the word for suggested corrections. Mac users should also note that OS X can auto-correct your spelling error, underlining them in blue to call your attention to them (so you can make sure the change is correct). Another Mac trick: right-click on any word (or three-finger tap the Trackpad) to pull up a dictionary definition of a word.
