Browser side does not provide a consistent, guaranteed experience  
cross-browser.  Let alone control over what words are spellchecked,  
languages, spellcheck on send, etc. etc..

Obviously, if you want to use the browser's spellcheck, you are more  
than welcome to configure it that way on your system.
