Google as a spell checker?

[Ixix]

Who uses google as a spell checker? Sometimes when i'm not using fire fox and i'm typing a message i tend to google a word that i'm having trouble spelling. It's easier than going to websters online cuz i just want the spelling, not definition.

lol good to know i'm not the only one who does this. i remember the old days when i waited for word to load to check a word's spelling.

- did you mean, "correct spelling"?
- yup!

 

[Jennifer]

I do this every single day :tu:

:bingo:

It's a hell of a lot faster than Dictionary.com and no pop-ups.:kickass:

Yes google has a lot of uses. I use it daily as a phone book and an address book as well.

I have found it poor directing traffic to my websites however

Great little function.

Dictionary.com on the bookmarks bar on FireFox = even better

you know, i wouldn't be surprised if one day google comes out with it's own operating system. I wonder what THAT would look like? i'm sure it'd be free w/adsense all over the desktop!

I do it all the time! I thought I was the only one.

It is also quite useful when trying to spell a word in a different language that I am not 100% fluent in.

actually, firefox automatically spell checks for me....but sometimes i have opera or explorer up and going. i just open a tab and google the word i'm trying to spell.

 

[Albino]

i do this all the time too!

my friend thought I was mad for doing it

 

[ChrisChris]

I do it all the time as well. Gets annoying though when Google wants to use a US dictionary :hehe:

 

[Matthew.]

Yeah I do it as well, simpler than using anything else.

 

[bizwiz]

I use Google also especially if I am not sure if the words I am typing are correct.

I'm a little slow from all the head tramas I've suffered throughout my life. So it seems like I'm using it none stop or yelling over to my 11 year old spelling wiz for help.

I often use Google as a spell checker/dictionary, but even more so as a calculator. Firefox 2's default search suggestions allow me to get the answer without even submitting an actual search.

For example:
500+30
9*3
5(8)+4
77/7

etc...

^ I do that a lot as well. A lot faster than finding my own calculator, me and the Windows one have never gotten along.

You can also do rough currency exchanges, I do that a lot as well. Example:

40USD to GBP
EUR to GBP
