    I can see it from Japan. Great idea by G. No need to click through to the suggested results - they are right there.

    I can see it, it shows about 5 links that are normal, then 5 in the suggested spelling. Could be annoying but probably very helpful...

    Search for "wicks"
    I'm seeing the first five results for "wicks" then a line that says Did you mean wickes? and 3 results for wickes and then 2 more results for wicks.

    It's a neat idea if I did in fact misspell my search, but it would be an annoying "feature" (kinda like all the "features" in MS Word) if I in fact had spelt my search term correctly and Google didn't believe me. :)

    Yeah, that's a bit of an odd result.

    I blogged about Google's Inline Revisions a while ago. Seems pretty useless at times though for misspellings it could have a use I guess.

    Google already uses that for mispellings though...

    Although a slightly different layout.
