Why does Google have a better Spell check then Word 2007?
« on: December 06, 2011, 02:58:42 pm »
I suck at spelling like a lot of us males who suffer from this condition.  :'(
Any crappy missed spelled word I type in Word half the time it will not have any suggestions or bring up a list of suggestions, none of them are right. Put that same word in Google and it brings up 1 suggestion, “did you mean ____”.  9 times out of 10 it’s right!  Thank you Google you’re so smart.

What’s up with that?

Just an example my brain will not allow me to spell probably Every time I write proubly. What does word give me? Suggestion:  proudly…that’s it. What does Google give me? Did you mean: probably

Google has a continuous improvement model by having hundreds of thousands of people misspelling things to it continuously all day and affirm its correction model, where as Office 2007 was a few dozen people setting up an essentially static ruleset almost certainly based off an older model.

Google will probably autocorrect Sykrim to Skyrim now, where as Office would flag both as misspelled.

You misspelled 'misspelled'.

Skip using word and use Google docs.

For what it's worth, Google isn't going to point out missed spelled as incorrectly spelled. It's spelled correctly.

The modern age has robbed us of adequate wordsmithing.  Can you believe in school I had prefect spelling and impeccable grammar?
As I started using computers more, my math and writing skills declined.  Afterall why bother to proof check when the computer does it for you?  And look at me now damn you!  Look at me now!!!

I waaaas onccccee a maaan!!!
