Spelling Suggestions Via Google API

I've done A LOT of work with the Google API in the last year, but it was only last week that I bothered to look at what it can do besides web search. It can get the cached pages (really no interest to me personally), but it can get spelling suggestions (just like when you search for something at www.google.com and misspell it).

The really nice thing about it is that it's not built on a dictionary... instead, it's built based on user searches, so things that are not in the dictionary can be correctly "suggested".

For example... 3 words misspelled in the query (one of which is not in the dictionary) and it's correctly suggested:

Anyway, just something interesting and useful that somehow I missed in the last year.
