Using Google to help me spell
From Ben's Writing
I have been meaning to write this tool for ages, but I finally found the time. It is a very simple idea: use Google to do my spell-checking. I already do it by hand, whenever the native checker fails, so I figured I would try to automate the whole thing. It turned out to be very simple. The new tool's interface is equally simple:
google-suggest <word>
Where word is some poor attempt at using the English language. The code is available here.
