Lesdyxics of the world untie! Spell checking is easy. Grammar checking is a largely intractable problem, at least where the semi-free-form, freely- foreign-word-borrowing English language is concerned. If they were easy to write, grammar checkers would be the norm. (Though in my day, they were rather plentiful. They were called 'nuns'.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
