Bug Description
See https:/
The TinyMCE spellcheck plugin in Mahara by default uses the local aspell program (if it's present at /usr/bin/aspell, or $cfg->pathtoasp
We should follow suit with whatever approach Moodle decided on to deal with this.
I'm not sure how many places will be affected by this. Those running their sites on Linux will have /usr/bin/aspell present. It may be absent or inaccessible for places running on shared hosting, though.
For affected sites, a workaround would be to remove the spellcheck button from your TinyMCE by removing the word "spellchecker" from the list stored in the $adv_buttons variable in the smarty() function in htdocs/lib/web.php

It looks like Moodle has:
1. Disabled the spellcheck button if you don't have aspell available
2. Activated a TinyMCE option that allows the browser to do spellchecking in the TinyMCE text box.
