Spell “oscilloscope” perfectly

This post is part of the “Teach Your Parents Tech” series where Googlers help provide some tips and tricks you can gift your parents with this Holiday Season.
In my video for my family, I demo a quick way to get the correct spelling of a word. Instead of using a spell checker or a physical dictionary (so 90’s), you can use familiar Google Search to learn whether to write “sharlaton” or “charlatan,” for example.
This trick even works when communicating with relatives who speak a different language. When I want to wish my mom’s Swiss family and friends a happy new year, I can type “es guetes Nöis” into the Google Switzerland search bar. Google returns the correct spelling “es guets Nöis”, scoring me kudos with the family until the next year’s holidays.
