Let Google do the dirty work.

Thanks to the Changelog, today I was introduced to easy_translate. This gem of a ruby gem uses Google translate to, well... translate. Awesome. We need to use Google to do more of our dirty work.

I am not one of the greatest spellers to ever have lived. As I was using a word processor the other day, I observed that when I don't know how to spell a word, I google it instead of using the built in spell checker. Google is far superior to any spellchecker. So if you're writing a word processor, save yourself some work and write a tool that uses google for spell checking.
