That's hilarious ... I'm sitting here using Safari and didn't even know it.

When I didn't see it in the Preferences, I didn't bother looking elsewhere. I guess I should check out these menus and see what else I missing.

Right/control-clicking on a word in a form is a good one too. It will offer suggestions at the top of the pop-up if it's spelled wrong.
