You might be able to adapt languagetool. http://www.danielnaber.de/languagetool/features.html Later versions have been ported to Java, but the old python version of languagetool is at http://tkltrans.sourceforge.net/#r03 His thesis paper is at http://www.danielnaber.de/languagetool/download/style_and_grammar_checker.pdf Mind you, given the poor language skills of many native english speakers (not to mention those for whom english is a second language) relying on automated filters to enforce 'good' language seems a trifle extreme. This post for example would probably not pass. Cheers, Nigel PS. For the humour impaired, this g*d d*mm post was a f*cking joke, OK! :-) Mind you, the links are real. -- Nigel Rowe A pox upon the spammers that make me write my address like.. rho (snail) swiftdsl (stop) com (stop) au -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
