Google must have terabytes of data about correct, alternative, international, and incorrect spelling of English words. (Also probably all words in other languages).
A Google spell checker product could combine knowledge of word placement within a sentence and this huge cache of data to accurately guess what the correct spelling should be.
The product could probably go further and help people avoid eggcorns and malapropisms and etc.
It would be interesting to compare the accuracy : size ratio of this dictionary with that created by rtm and father using probabilistic, uhm, stuff.
