You turn it on in a per-app or per-field basis.

Use one of two methods:
1. Edit -> Spelling -> Check Spelling As You Type.
2. Right/control-click in a text field, choose Spelling -> Check Spelling As You Type.

Note that, sadly, still not all apps support it. For example, the Mozilla-based apps (Firefox, Camino, Thunderbird, etc.) and Microsoft apps (Word, Entourage, etc.) do not support the system-wide spell checker. Nearly all Cocoa apps support it, though.

Do you have to? No, but it's a pretty good idea.
