Example: I'm writing a long essay that uses the word "fetal" but never the word
"fatal". Therefore, I'd like a spell-check to tell me if I've inadvertently
typed "fatal", but only in that essay, whether I edit it today or next week
while I work on other essays in between in which "fatal" might be a fully
acceptable spelling. This can be done manually, but a list of words can be
handled faster if included in a single spellcheck operation.
Solutions: (a) The spelling checker should offer negative dictionaries, that is,
dictionaries in which words would be treated as wrong even though they'd
normally be treated as correct. Then, entire negative dictionaries can be
selected for a project. (b) Words in the built-in and user dictionaries can be
flagged as negative, with the flags stored as nameable lists, removable and
restorable, functioning much like negative dictionaries. That might complexify
programming if your built-in dictionary compresses words with their inflections
and the flag should be applied only to one inflection.
Additional features:
-- Multiple dictionaries, usable separately or together. For example, each
might have a purpose.
-- Copyable dictionaries, that is, a dictionary that can be copied whole
and then re-edited.
-- Nameable dictionaries, to allow a friendly name for a dictionary, in
addition to the unchangeable unfriendly name (like negdict86465891658).
-- Dates of creation and last modification of each negative dictionary, to
make weeding them out easier.
-- Stemming or whatever you call the process, if Writer now recognizes
plurals of singulars, -er/-est comparatives, and the like in a dictionary
without separate entries, this feature should do likewise, or ask the user
editing a dictionary if it should.
-- A native OOo-format file could include an invisible link to the negative
dictionary, so that opening the document would invoke the negative dictionary by
its unchangeable unfriendly name along with the regular spell-check facility.
Users of other formats could still invoke the negative dictionary by its
friendly name when needed. In either case, multiple dictionaries could be
invoked or used.
I'm using OOo Writer 2.4.0 without Java Runtime Environment on Linux Fedora Core
4 with Gnome 2.10.0 desktop on a Pentium 4 laptop. I didn't see this feature.
Thank you.
