like, for real? maybe firefox is bad as well, i'm not really sure.

is it just like, using some service apple provides? in that case: why is the spell checker that apple provides so loving bad? and why is google consuming it if it's so bad? surely google has some spell checker as a service platform?

if google chrome is using that spell checker as a service platform, why is it so bad?

the google search engine is virtually the best spell checker of all time

the one on chrome is worse than using my balls as a brush

(which is to say my balls are smooth as silk)

there aren't actually any good open-source spell checker libraries. everyone (ff, chrome, openoffice, os x) just uses hunspell which is mediocre and only does single-word checking
