CorrecteurOrthographiqueOffice : Contextual spelling in the 2007 Microsoft Office system

Microsoft apparently noticed that the pet peeve of a great many people is the erosion of proper spelling and grammar skills. Microsoft has made great strides with Microsoft Word, introducing an inline spell checker (the red squiqqle) and an inline grammar checker (the green squiggle). And yet, errors like "loose" for "lose" and the variations on "their", "its", and "to" persist.

Until now. New in Word 2007 is a "contextual spell checker", which can analyze your writing and ensure that the proper word context is being used. All I can say is that once this kind of feature is implemented in internet forum and blogging software, I will be a happy, happy man.
