What I can't understand is why someone who can't write intelligible
English would want a Tagalog spell checker when he doesn't even use
his Fort� Agent spell checker.

Actually, the newsagent you use is Forté Agent v.5.00/32.1171.
And you're wrong. Your version of Agent has a number of spellcheck
dictionary options. The one I use is Forté Agent's "English Intl"
dictionary, which features British/NZ/Australian English spellings
rather than American English.
http://www.forteinc.com/agent/download-all.php
More importantly, even Forté Agent's "English US" spellcheck
dictionary should catch your abysmal spelling errors. But you have to
use it first and you clearly don't.
OTOH what no spellcheck on earth will never correct is your clumsy,
sloppily written posts (eg: Get ever it.) ... or your name/gender
switches.

No. The Forté Agent spell checker is not "US only".
The Forté site has a British English ("English International") dictionary and other language dictionaries.
However, there is no Filipino dictionary for Forté Agent.

Since I also suffer from Dyslexia as well as Arthritis in my fingers I
suggest you do what I do and double-check what you've written before
you hit the "Send Now" button (or Ctrl + N in Agent).
Alternatively, you can use a word processor that has a grammar check
as well as a spell check to draft your posts . I use Lotus Word
Pro.The grammar check would pick up obvious blunders such as "Get ever
it."
Not that my posts don't have the occasional typo. But it's rare to see
one of your posts that doesn't.

Au contraire. My Forté Agent "English Intl" spellcheck dictionary
treats both "kerb" and "curb" as correct.

Silly pillock. It's easy enough to see that Roger meant "My wife does
know English as her second language very well....."
If I were a Tagalog speaker (eg Roger's wife) writing to another Tagalog
speaker (eg her rellies), I'd probably find a Tagalog spell-checker useful.

Dimwit. I would refer to a 'spell checker' when talking about a program
to check spelling in a document. I would use such a spell checker to
check my spelling. I might even call it a spelling checker now and then.
The standard Linux program (actually a filter) to check the spelling in
documents is called "Spell" or "Ispell". Not "Spelling" or "ISpelling".
"GNU Spell is a spell checking program which prints each misspelled word
on a line of its own. It is designed as a clone of the standard Unix
`spell' program, and implemented as a wrapper for Ispell".

Dimwit. "Spell Checker" is common usage. I'd say that it is more common
than "Spelling Checker". If you put "Spelling Checker" into Google all
of the first page refers to "Spell Check" or "Spell Checker".
