Q: 

What spellchecker does StackOverflow use?

I'm sold on the WMD textarea and markdown, but I'd like to give the same features to my users too!

+6  A: 

None. Whatever spell checker you are seeing is built into your browser.

actually firefox has it too, and I'm pretty sure so does Opera.

Yes, opera has it too, but you need to the GNU Aspell (unless you're in MAC): http://www.opera.com/browser/tutorials/spellcheck/
