Spell Check is a fantastic tool, however, is not helping us to improve our
grammar and spelling. As more and more children are using computers as a tool
for education, their misspelled words are constantly being corrected
(sometimes automatically) by Word which is not encouraging them to learn how
to spell and use grammar correctly.

It would be great if Word could notify us if we keep spelling the same word
incorrectly or keep making the same grammar errors.

I would like to see a pop up that indicated how many times I have spelled a
word incorrectly. As an advanced tool it could also include tips on how to
remember to spell a word, especially for words that are commonly misspelled.
I think the tool should be called Spell Right.

Example:

Spell Right notification! - The word 'BECAUSE' has been misspelled three
times in this document.
TIP:
Big
Elephants
Cannot
Always
Use
Small
Elevators

There's an age-old Internet truism about spelling/grammar flames. <bg>

Sounds like you've fingered a potential market niche for people who use
machines to do their thinking for them.

Are you an educator? (I hope not.)
