You realize you are upsetting the entire industry standard of Word Processors out there, right? :) I have long agreed with you and used that one-check method for my LaTeX writing; but FlySpell generally "just works" and has proven very useful for things I forget to ispell, like emails and note pages (where later coming back to typos is more distracting to me than correcting them immediately). "Just works", that is, until you try to complement it's look-behind with the AC-ispell "look-ahead".
