      In a message dated 02-22-14, mark lewis said to Holger Granholm:              Good morning Mark,              ml>i don't think so... a grammar checker only needs the rules of the       ml>language... not all the words ;)              That's quite simple for english and swedish but very difficult for       finnish and other non-latin based languages. Even though german belongs       to the latin group it isn't easy grammarwise.               HG> and will also slow down the output considerably.              ml>slow it down how? you manually execute a grammar checker when you       ml>want to... it doesn't run all the time like so many programs do with       ml>their built-in spell checking these days...              Yes I know but a grammar checker does use time as will the corrections       by the user.               HG> The best grammar checker is built-in into your head by reading a         HG> lot of books and other literature in your youth.              ml>agreed for the most part ;)              BTW, I forgot to mention Radio News that was also a regularly bought       magazine before I got my ham license..              Best regards,              Holger              ---        þ MR/2 2.30 þ Hey, I am still having fun, in spite of myself.                      * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands.
