I'm working on another grant proposal; writing is hard work. In my estimation, the fastest that I can put coherent thoughts together in a readable form is three weeks, but that is optimistic. For me to write a polished paper, probably takes at least a month. Yet, I'm routinely asked to throw them together in a week and a half... none the less.
Word versus TextEdit in the spelling correction category
Hands down, TextEdit has a wider variety of spelling suggestions available for when you botch the spelling of your least used words. However, the score is even in this category because of Word's grammar checker. The grammar checker in Word makes a nice edition, not that I usually use it, but everyone could use a little double checking once in awhile.
