I don't know if it is really on-topic, but i want to contribute my thoughts:
The context hould be proof reading, preferrably on the document level.
I can imagine the document being about football, making hyphenation of
the Dutch word balletje to bal-le-tje much more likely then bal=let=je
(small ballet).
Of course, this is far out of reach yet.
Nevertheless, it makes it clear that grammar has more priority then just
spell-checking.
So I plee for a (maybe dummy) context checker, using the spell checker
as subcomponent.
Or, said differently: upgrading the spellchecker to a context sensitive one.
The context version could also be a lot better dertermining language and
'quoted' language parts.
So I would prefer the interface to be directed in a way that:
- the proofreader can ask for a scope (document, paragraph to the
calling software)
- the proofreader does its proofreading, using a defined interface
subcomponents like a spell checker.
I think it is time to integrate spell and grammar checking into one, by
defining the way to work together using interfaces.
Now we are busy discussing this, i would appreciate to define more
warnign colors in text processor, mayby representing the level of
seriousness.
I think really integrating language support like this gives OOo (and by
using a standard API other word processors as well) a big advantage.
Though this is not technical at all, I still hope it contributes.
