Rex,
The problem with your post was that the meaning behind it was completely lost by the incomprehensible way it was put. I quite understand, if you are dyslexic, the reason behind it, and I've got relatives who have those same issues, but you have to see that there is a difference between a newbie posting an announcement about a software product, and chatting with people who know you. For the latter case, it doesn't matter because the people will make allowances. For the former, talking to strangers, first impressions count, and you have to make sure you give a good impression. Yes, spell checkers have their limitations, but they do help. Spend a little extra time on the presentation, and you'll get your message across much quicker.
Personally, I use the latest version of Opera (browser) as it automatically spell checks as I type, complete with the little red line underneath that you see in certain word processors. It's made me a lot more concious of how my postings look.
As for your program ... apart from the "why, when you can just keep a tab open in the browser?" question, I think that it looks fine. I'd try and keep it as one window, however, rather than spawning separate windows for the results. Maybe use tabs to organise them. (I tend to keep so much open, I lose windows behind others, and apps that have separate windows can sometimes get stuck at the back.)
Don't be disheartened, keep working on it, and keep us informed!
