How Do You Spell Google?

One of the many things I love about Google is its usefulness as a spell checker. Have you noticed this? If you’re a lousy speller (like I am), it’s quickly addictive. Type in a wrong selling into the main search field (e.g., I just tried “indespensible“), and the top link on the results page will come back with a suggestion of what is usually the correct spelling (”Did you mean: indispensable?”). No matter how far off you are, enough people have probably tried that same wrong spelling that Google has the right suggestion for you. Faster than running MS Word and better accuracy on the suggestions.
