Chrome's spellcheck has become cumbersome as of the new auto-correct spell check in Mountain Lion. I love that I don't have to go to the mouse and use a context menu for spell-checking—EXCEPT IN CHROME.
Is there any way to replace Chrome's spellcheck with Mountain Lion's?

Spell check is a system service so by using the standard Mac control for a text box, chrome would magically get to use the service.
Since chrome isn't programmed to use the standard control (they wrote their own implementation) - you would need to either get the chrome devs to change the code or you would need to change it yourself and re-compile your version of Chrome. Both are likely to involve a serious amount of engineering since the code base is quite complex.
