Homonym hell is still unnecessary.

The best spellchecker is your wetware. I turn mechanical spellcheckers off and keep my English to a near-Buckleyan standard -- WFB is the only general writer of my acquaintance who regularly can send me to the dictionary. In the words of the metaphor, the man's a rifle, with one helluvan ammunition wagon.

I've not yet heard of a spellchecker with the entire wordlist of the OED in it -- has anyone else? The usual 75K-wordlist spellchecker is too cramped for what I do when writing.
