It's a shame that solutions like Bob Morris's no dictionary spell checker[1] are left languishing just because we all have fast computers.

Getting better at a problem in one domain can spin off benefits in others.

Spelling is part of language, and language is something that computers are really bad at. Brute force helps a bit with that (auto-correct; siri;) but better understanding would be cool.
