Is this how to use mod_speling?

I had my VPS host enable mod_speling, but I'm not sure it's working, and just wanted to check with you guys that I've got the right idea about it.

I have URLs on the server like this:

https://www.example.com/users/TOMMO/
https://www.example.com/users/JULIE/

People that type URLs using all lower case are getting 404 errors, so I figured enabling mod_speling would fix it. This is what I have in .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
CheckCaseOnly On

Should this be working?

The mod_speling documentation says this of CheckCaseOnly:

When set, this directive limits the action of the spelling correction to lower/upper case changes. Other potential corrections are not performed.

So that sounds pretty much like exactly what you want. If won't attempt to correct: https://www.mysite.com/users/juliee/ but it will ignore case when you go to https://www.mysite.com/users/JULIE/.

But if you're not using mod_rewrite, you don't need the RewriteEngine On line.
