Well I'm using my new gmail account a bit now. I'm trying to wean all my personal email off my work address. Having used it for a week or so the standout feature is one I didn't expect. It is not the "conversation view" (which is nice though), it's not the huge 1000mg storage (I haven't even used 0.1% of that), it is the spellchecker.
It is just easy use. Click on spellchecker and it doesn't open some popup dialogue box showing a fragment of text with a few suggestions and half a dozen choices to ignore or replace or whatever. What it does is highlight anything it believes to be spelling errors in red on your message. It does this on your actual message - no popups. If you click on the red word, about half a dozen alternatives appear, you choose the appropriate one and it corrects the text and turns the word green. Simple. Easy.
You can scroll through you message quickly and easily and not have to hit ignore twenty times. Why can't Word do this? Or blogger indeed?
