Yes you're right. It doesn't give you a quick hit of adrenalin... IT'S NOT MEANT TO YOU FOOL!

He's talking about a spell checker, not the latest EA game.

You can use NLTK for Python with a "Naive Bayes classifier" to accomplish something similar using your own corpus. 'course, Google's corpus is THE WEB, so probably much more accurate than your 300MB corpus on your drive, but still.

this is all waste of time .. autocorrect doesnt work anywhere, and making it 5% faster doesnt mean, these people will use 5% time, they will produce 5% more garbage and spam .. hence just dont do this anywhere ... you are just wasting your time ..
