The spell check features of modern day word processors are really quite useful tools. We should all make sure we run a spell check on a document before sending it off.

But they’re never perfect. Automated spell checking often falls down at proper nouns (names) and complicated or technical terms. One way you can get a little more certainty is to employ the spell checking ability of Google.

Just input any words you (or your word processor) aren’t sure about into Google’s search engine, and if it asks ‘Did you mean…?’ you might want to think about changing your spelling.
