I may just be ranting on here, but does it bother anyone else how messed up spell check can be. I can spell a word almost exactly with just a single letter out of place and the spell check freaks out and has no clue what I am writing. Then, when I spell a word so messed up I can't even imagine Google's search engine to even know what I am writing, but all the sudden spell check knows exactly what I am trying to say. Just weird.

Lol I've felt this exact way sometimes! I see it on my iPhone all the time. I wonder what improvements are being made to spell check? Google seems to have one of the best ones on the market but I'd wager they learn on an adaptive method (who spells what wrong, how often and what they really meant).

Yes! Google Search always knows what I meant to search even when I spelled it wrong. Spooky!

And, I love it how they can read my mind that way. Saves me so much time. I still get to the exact same destination as they don't take my misspellings literally and instead show me what they think I wanted instead.

I've experienced this quite a bit in Google Chrome but only for some particular words that I've just typed a little too fast, sometimes I really don't understand how it cannot know what I was trying to type.

Google, the search engine sure have things setup really well in that regard. You can type things pretty horribly and it'll manage to work it out for you.

LOL spell check can be a good thing on somethings and on others it is not so good.

That's the issue with most of the spell checker software and apps. All I advise you do is to always screen what you want to post before doing so to enable you not make mistakes.
