If you mean like do they not count your posts because of bad spelling, I doubt they ignore your posts because of that. As long as you get the message across and it is semi-easy to understand.
Because I see a lot of posts that are abbreviated or spelled wrong and I'm sure people get the credit. :]

Don't think there is a spell check on FC.  Would be nice if there were, but sometimes it the spell check that I have in my email system bugs me when I type a word (mispelled), and I can't figure out how it should be spelt short of looking up the work in the dictionary.

I don't see one.  It would be great if FC could add one in.

I don't think that there is a spell check!  That would be nice!!!  I find myself sometimes going back over what I have typed to recheck my spelling!!!!

Instead of hauling out the dictionary, I use searches like Google. Sometimes I have to use the word in a sentence on the searches, but eventually I get the right word.
 
I was lying in bed the other night, looking up at the stars, and thinking, "Where in the heck is my roof?"

Spell check has a way of spoiling you!  I sure miss it here.  I'll run a word through Microsoft Word to check spelling.
Have a wonderful day!

That is a absurd question, There is no spell check on this site...Why would they need one?

WELL, mx3madman .... some people feel bad about losing skills as their diability takes them down the bumpy road of the unknown!  it helps to have those back up systems to make one feel as tho they aren't losing it completely.  you seriously hurt my feelings

Good idea!  At least Google gives you an alternative word if it can't find the one you gave.  I'll give it a try the next it happens.  My spell check with my email doesn't give me alternative spellings -- just underlines it until I get it right.

My brain usually spells better than my fingers so I have to read stuff over before I hit the post button.   ;D ;D
