It seems faster especially without the popup window like eCollege has. Also, eCollege pops up one word at a time, while Google simply highlights all of them, which allows you to fly through each word (at least for me). I suppose it's a matter of opinion, but the beauty of the Google spell check is that you can use it on any site (like this one) and it will keep your "dictionary" of words. Pretty groovy. :) Between Google’s spell check and eCollege’s, I like Google’s a little better. It seems faster especially without the popup window like eCollege has.

I already have the Google Toolbar with the spellcheck, I just hadn't considered using it. I guess that's because it didn't work on the last system. Speaking of which, maybe this is why we can't use HTML in the new system...? Wouldn't spell check choke on all of the HTML tags? By the way, I haven't had any trouble with the spell check so far. It seems to catch everything for me, without getting too tripped up on non-standard words. There's an "Add" button on eCollege's spell check for creating your own dictionary, I presume.
