ACY If we can get back to the reality we have in the 21st century for a minute, what is needed is a spell checker that can cross-reference with a context checker. Then we might get a machine that knows what "to and two and too" are. The machine may not know, but we know that to and two and too are sicks. Or is that sics? If your (as many greats as you like) granddaughter can invent something like that, then I'll really be impressed. Tom

Paul of Covington Might not be long before "there's an app for that." It'll read your mind and compose the whole paragraph for you.
Considering the apps that allow you to dictate to your device, that might be closer than one might think.
The "danger" of reading your mind might be that what you're actually thinking might not be what you should put down on paper.... (Did I say that out loud?)

Tom And, if your machine could also distinguish between "its" & "it's," "there" & "they're," "your" & "you're, etc." we would have a great help to better communication.

Murphy Siding I'm on a local car racing forum. It's not uncommon for one of the kiddies in the sandbox to fire off what he thinks is the biggest insult at another kiddie. "Oh yeah? Well your favorite driver is a looser!" I always wonder- looser than what?

A mis-tightened lug nut, of course.
My favorite driver isn't a loser. They just haven't given her a car that can win...
