Actually, Google Docs suggests spellings the same way Google Search does. It's actually quite cool: http://lifehacker.com/5895252/googles-new-spell-check-is-cra

  Very neat. I wonder if Office online does the same using Bing's predictive features. It's still not the same as filling in "are ruining America" if you type "black men" though, Google docs doesn't do prediction like that. It's 'just' a way more clever spell checker. My point is that comparing Google search to Office isn't a sensible comparison to make, and the fact that Google's version of Office behaves similarly to Office, and Microsoft's search works similarly to Google in prediction/spell checking is pretty much exactly what I was getting at. It would be neat to see prediction as a feature in Office/Docs etc. though, there's a pretty huge corpus of essays available, it'd be interesting to see how accurately a new one can be predicted.
