Reliance on Google for what is really an essential function for those who aren't native English speakers is problematic because it's (a) third-party (b) closed. Same reason we don't use reCaptcha.
I always think than not using reCaptcha is a shame, as it's a nice way to get people to proofread text in a reasonably efficient way. It would be really nice if someone could create something similar that proofreads OCR'd text from Wikisource... <hint, hint>.
