Google Check
No idea how this would be implemented, but I always thought it would be cool if, in addition to using a big dictionary file, word processing programs queried google for spell checks – if there’s a “did you mean” it could offer that as a correction suggestion, otherwise it’s probably a real word. (or last name, slang word, made up Web 2.0 startup word, weblish word, etc) This would be slower than looking at a local file, of course, so maybe it would only be used once the normal spell check comes up empty.
Language is constantly evolving, and no one knows more about the huge mass of language that is the web than google…
