[libreoffice-users] spell check does not "ignore all"

2024-05-28 Thread Thomas Blasejewicz

And again (sorry!)
Windows 10, Libreoffice 7.6.6.3

I have had this problem for as long as I am using Libreoffice.
But spell checking a 240-page book makes things worse.

During the spell check, the checker comes across words not in the 
dictionary and I tell it, to "ignore all".

But the spell checker does not care about that instruction.
It flags the same term as a mistake EACH AND EVERY TIME it is found.
This applies also to the "reverse" = "correct all" option.
It never did that as far as I can remember.

However, it would be very nice and time-saving, if Libreoffice could 
listen to the instructions and automate the tasks.

What is is, that I am missing here?

Thank you
Thomas

For me this often happens if my document switches to English US when my 
dictionary is English UK.
Check the document language displayed in the bottom bar of writer and 
the dictionaries you have.

[libreoffice-users] Spell Check

2024-03-25 Thread Chris Undy
Hello,

I am sorting out a new mac laptop and would like to run Libre for my word
processing.

I did download it and using the address of chris.u...@gmail.com

I'm writing from a different address due to a couple of hiccups.

Whilst testing the libreoffice word processor on my first document its
spell check functions were all over the placesome corrected and some
deliberate simple ones it refused to identify.
Is this a bug with the latest offering or can I cure this somehow?

Thanks,
Chris

[libreoffice-users] Spell check broken in 7.3.2

2022-04-05 Thread MR ZenWiz
I have some documents that contain certain special wods (I write epic
fantasy novels and create words that I use in the books), and I tried
to do a number of things with these regarding the spell-checker:

1) I tried to delete my old 'stanard.dic', but it keeps coming bak on
its own as if I never said to delete it.

2) I added a new custom dictionary with a different name, and that
seemed to work.

3) However, when I run the spekk checker, after a few words I add to
the new custom dictionary, if I click "Ignore Once", it wants to
resume and won't let me go any further. I have to quiet the spell
check and start over. At this rate it would take me weeks to go
through one document.

I haven't run a full spell-check on the book recently, but it never
behaved like this before.

This is a .docx file - could that be art of it? 7.3 was supposed to be
more compatible with MSO, not less.

WTF???

Mark
LibreOffice fan/user since it took over OO's app and moved further
better - until now?

[libreoffice-users] Spell check anomaly in Calc

2016-11-17 Thread John R. Sowden
Had an interesting anomaly this morning in Calc, version 5.x using 
Ubuntu 16.04.


In a 'general' formatted field (default), I entered "April" without the 
quotes.


By mistake, I hit the CAPS key.  About 10 lines down, entered "aP", 
starting to type April with the caps on.


Calc saw the April above so it displayed April. . . .with the red 
underline indicating I spelled it wrong, yet it

displayed identically to the above April.

Two issues:
1) It looks like the aPRIL is saved in the cell because that is what was 
actually entered, but April is displayed.
2) The spell check is performed against what is stored in the cell 
(seems reasonable), not what is displayed.


John

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell Check Dictionary

2014-05-21 Thread Kracked_P_P---webmaster


Jean-Francois, it looks like almost the same post of the original 
question, if I remember it correctly.



I assume he presses Add to Dictionary as well as making sure he checks 
Standard [All}.  I have asked that question before and it seems half 
of the people I asked did not since they did not know which dictionary 
their word would be added to.  Once added, most also do not know how to 
remove it and did not want to make a mistake there by adding a wrongly 
spelled word.


Of course, I do not know what types of words he was adding.  Are they 
specific trade or company words/terms/names or was it some words 
that was not included in the default LO dictionaries.  I might suggest 
he try the en_US dictionary that contains over 797 thousand words in its 
list, to see if it works better for him.  Also, since he is using 
4.0.4.2-9, which looks like a repository one, maybe there is a bug in 
that version. There has been Spell checker bugs, before, in the earlier 
versions.



The 797 thousand word spell checker add on is at the following link, for 
the en_US version.

[libreoffice-users] Spell Check Dictionary

2014-05-20 Thread Mark LaPierre
Hey All,

I've noticed that LibreOffice does not remember the words that I add to
my dictionary when I open a new document that contains the same words I
just added in the previous document.  Every new document does not
recognize the spelling of words that I have added when editing earlier
documents.  It behaves as though it is adding the words to a dictionary
that is contained within the individual document instead of adding them
to a dictionary that is located in my home and referenced by all
documents even though I know this is not the case because the document
is in plain text format that I can open with any ordinary text editor
such as gedit, on the desk top, or vim in a shell.

If I open the same document again, the next day of example, the words
that I added to the dictionary previously when editing that same
document are not marked as misspelled, but if I open a new document the
words are not recognized there.

I've spent a couple of hours reading the LibreOffice Word manual and
searching with Google to no avail.

Is there a setting somewhere that I've missed that will allow the use of
a local dictionary?  Is this a known bug?

[libreoffice-users] Spell check in input field not working in Writer template

Windows XP, SP 3, LO 4.0.5.2

I've created a Writer template which has numerous input fields.  When the

check doesn't work on the input fields.  I've tried renaming my profile, but
that didn't help.   test.ott
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4086429/test.ottAs you can
see from the attached file, there are obvious typing errors - none of which
spell check picked up.  

How do I get spell check to work in input fields?

successfully and would I like to start again at the beginning.  I said yes

It could have sensed that there was a highlighted section being spell 
checked and not the entire document.


I would suggest you move to the top of the document and make sure there 
is no highlighted section by adding and removing a space. Then it should 
spell check the entire document instead of what you are experiencing.


It may have been an issue that might have crept up on your install, and 
not happen to others.  If it continues please feel free to let up know 
and someone could look into it as a possible bug.


We do need to know which version and OS you are using.  Also if you 
added any spell checking extensions.  That may help to investigate the 
issue.

When I had this problem, there was no dictionary associated with the

this would suddenly become an issue; just something to consider.

What OS are you using?  That may help figure out the problems.

I run Ubuntu 64-bit 10.04LTS.
For me, it seems that with 3.5.4, I had to make sure my spelling, 
dictionary, and other language options, were turned on to be used.  
Some were turned off when I went from 3.4.6 to 3.5.4.


Look at:
ToolsOptionsLanguage SettingsWriting Aids
Make sure the proper language options are checked for spell checking, 
user-defined dictionary, and such.



Also try installing this extension [I assume you want English] - as a 
test of your system.


http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/kpp-american-english-dictionary-638k-word-list.oxt

Then go back to the Writing Aids and make sure the en-US is checked in 
the user defined dictionary section.


If you then have an English spell checking ability, then there is 
something wrong with the installed English dictionary.  If it does not 
work, after the user defined dictionary has been checked, then there 
is something wrong with your installation of LO.


There was an issue with the default English dictionary system, which I 
do not know if it was completely solved for those who system had that 
issue.  So they downloaded an extension for the dictionary they wanted 
and that helped for some of them.


NOTE: On my dictionary list, I have American, British, and Canadian 
English spelling dictionaries which also include a large Thesaurus, plus 
a Hyphenation system.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check problem on LO 3.5.4.2

You may also want to consider installing the After The Deadline
extension. It does well with both spelling and grammar checking.

 Hi,

 I have a bit of a problem on my machine, I downloaded the latest and

 Even if I use F7 then it only comes back with an empty spell checker even

 How can I solve this?

[libreoffice-users] Spell check problems

2012-03-06 Thread Edwin Matheson
I want to thank everyone for trying to help me with my spell check 
problem.  However, I still have the problem.  Spell check tells me that 
every word in my doc. is spelled wrong.  I still have OpenOffice on my 
computer and I was able to get into the system (it usually crashes) I 
pulled down every window in both OpenOfffice and Libreoffice and 
compared all the settings.  English (USA) is set everywhere possible in 
both systems.  Yet, spell check works perfectly in OpenOffice and won't 
work at all in Libreoffice.


So I have no choice but to uninstall Libreoffice and look for another 
system.


Thanks again for all your help.

Ed,

I haven't been following all the answers give to help you, but wanted to
throw out a couple of my own. You may have already tried these, but if not
they may help.

The problem you describe is not a normal problem. LO normally does spell
check fine so there has to be something in the install or setup that went
wrong so before you jump ship please try the following:

1. Close LO and rename you profile to something else than it is now, reboot
the computer then restart LO Writer. This should put you back to defaults.

2. If #1 didn't help then close LO, rename the profile again and uninstall
LO. Reboot your computer and then reinstall LO, checking the
language/dictionary settings (2 places) during the advanced install.
Hopefully this will give you a normally functioning LO.

Hope this helps.

Cliff

[libreoffice-users] Spell check problem

2012-03-04 Thread Edwin Matheson

Brian

Thanks for the reply.

I used OpenOffice for several years but for the past several days it 
crashed every few seconds.  As a result I loaded Libreoffice.  I opened 
one of my OpenOffice docs in Libreoffice and almost every word is 
underlined.  When I look at the status bar it says English (USA).  When 
I go to tools | Options | Language Settings  |  Language it is also set 
as English (USA).  I had no problems with this doc in OpenOffice and my 
understanding is that both applications use the same spell check 
system.  I am missing something.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry Tom, but I installed the one I always use for initial Java install

As I id say, I hope to get access to the laptop soon to connect it to 
the Net and work on the problem[s].  Then I can get all of the Win7 
updates and get the utility software as well.

Her laptop is faster than my quad.  It is a desktop replacement.

There is hardly any space used on the drive itself.  She has not had
time to place anything on it.

I wish I had a machine as fast as her laptop.

I still have to add Virus protection and other utilities as well.  LO
was the first package to be installed on the thing.  I added some video
files [less than 3 Gig total] to the laptop so she could watch them later.

So I doubt it is an issue with a too full system or one needing to be
defragged, etc., etc..  She has had it less than 1 week and I said, I
was the first one to place anything on the drive.  She does not even
have Internet yet.

On pretty much any OS check what processes start-up when the machine is booted up and when scheduled tasks are due to run.

Hi :)
I know LibreOffice 3.5.0 can use java 1.7 but i doubt that has been back-ported 
to all other releases that people are using out there.  Java is going to be a 
problem until we can get rid of any dependence on it completely.  It's not our 
devs fault that Oracle can't write something that isn't broken and vulnerable 
before Oracle release it.

Tom,

It is buried down in the Dev list, but the LibO BASE JDBC performance issues 
with the Java JRE are fixed by changes to the JDBC driver to reduce JNI 
Attach/DetachThread cycles, the 35023 bug 
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35023 ) is closed.

We should no longer be pusing the JRE 1.6u21--current JRE 1.6u31 or 1.7u3 are 
fully acceptable.

Look elseware for the issue with spell check.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Spell check for 3.4.5 on Win7 not working

2012-02-17 Thread V Stuart Foote
Tom,

No. You've misunderstood the whole Java JRE and BASE HSQLDB performance issue. 
Problem is not and never was with the Sun/Oracle Java JRE. The past problem 
with LibO and OOo HSQLDB performance was with process thread creation in the 
LibO/OOo JDBC interface.

The dev patch (by Stephen Bergmann) for Bug 35023 Base functions extremely 
slowly with Java 1.6.0_20 and 1.6.0_24 has been applied to the 3.5.0 core, 
and may make it into 3.4.6; but use of a 1.6u21 JRE was only a work around for 
LibO's BASE native HSQLDB 1.8 performance issues as that version of the JRE 
handled needed threads differently. 

Use of Java JRE 1.7 (with Oracle Corp ownership strings) was back ported to 
3.4.5--so no issue there. Look for issues with spell check elsewhere.

I loaded 3.4.5 onto a Win7 [64-bit] laptop yesterday at a meeting for a lady.  
She wanted to use LO to type up the notes of the meeting right there.

But after she saved the document, she clicked on the spell check icon and the windows came up empty 
with a not responding text in the pop up window name.

Anyone have that problem with a newer HP laptop?

Any idea how to fix this?

I did not have the time to try to work with her to figure out what the issue 
was, but I hope to get with her soon to fix the problem and add more free 
software to her brand new laptop.

Hi :)
Hmm, weird.  Perhaps it's too high a version of java?  Is it using a more 
recent version than 6u21?

Her laptop is faster than my quad.  It is a desktop replacement.

There is hardly any space used on the drive itself.  She has not had 
time to place anything on it.

I wish I had a machine as fast as her laptop.

I still have to add Virus protection and other utilities as well.  LO 
was the first package to be installed on the thing.  I added some video 
files [less than 3 Gig total] to the laptop so she could watch them later.

So I doubt it is an issue with a too full system or one needing to be 
defragged, etc., etc..  She has had it less than 1 week and I said, I 
was the first one to place anything on the drive.  She does not even 
have Internet yet.

 Sounds like her machine was just being a bit slow.  If that is Windows then 
 perhaps defrag, Disk Clean-up, perhaps uninstall the 2nd and 3rd antivirus 
 program.  Watch out for auto-scans and defrags.  Empty the wastebin and the 
 wastebin of the emailing program she uses.  Windows performance seems to 
 suddenly drop off if the 'drive' is over 80% full.  If the defragger shows 
 21% free space then that is about as good as it gets unless you can get it 
 right down to almost nothing on the hard-drive (unlikely) when there seems to 
 be another slight boost in performance.  Set the virtual memory to a fixed 
 size about 2xRam or a little less, anything over Ram but below 2xRam is about 
 perfect.  The virtual memory is probably heavily fragmented as it's been 
 randomly changing size and throwing bits of itself all over the drive.  
 Setting it to a fixed size stops it getting worse.  The standard Windows 
 defragger can't do system-files, such as the virtual
   memory (pagefile.sys on Xp and earlier), which are usually the ones that 
make the biggest difference.  Hmmm, ideally a reinstall of Windows and then 
set the virtual memory might be best but it takes a LOT of time to install all 
the other programs and tweak and update everything.  Maybe LO took her just 
over the 80%?

 On pretty much any OS check what processes start-up when the machine is 
 booted up and when scheduled tasks are due to run.  I tend to switch all that 
 off (or at least the bits i know how to do myself, such as defrags, updates 
 and antivirus-scans) and then try to remember to do maintenance tasks at a 
 time to suit myself.   

 Regards from
 Tom :)

Tom,

It is buried down in the Dev list, but the LibO BASE JDBC performance issues 
with the Java JRE are fixed by changes to the JDBC driver to reduce JNI 
Attach/DetachThread cycles, the 35023 bug 
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35023 ) is closed.

We should no longer be pusing the JRE 1.6u21--current JRE 1.6u31 or 1.7u3 are 
fully acceptable.

Look elseware for the issue with spell check.

[libreoffice-users] Spell check

2011-10-30 Thread GAC
I have replaced OOo with LibreOffice by downloading and installing:
LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_install_multi.exe
LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_helppack_en-GB.exe

Initially LibreOffice did not appear to be recognised by Windows, I could
not associate it with any files.
When I right clicked on a document and selected open with.. LibreOffice
was not an option.
The document could be edited by opening LibreOffice then opening the
document through LibreOffice 's browser - not terribly convenient.
Note: The spell checking was working at this time.

I read on the naggle forum that LibreOffice should be installed using run
as adminstrator on the install executable.
So I proceeded to re-install (both the downloads listed above) LibreOffice
as advised.
This worked well in that Windows recognised the existance of LibreOffice and
I could edit a document by selecting from explorer. However the spell check
no longer worked /existed.

I have re-installed LibreOffice three times more (after
removing/de-installing it each time) and re-installed using both custom and
typical installations. Without any effect on the spell check problem.

I have attempted some of the suggestions found on the naggle forum but
nothing has worked.

It appears I am missing something from the Available Languages Module (see
image below) as there is nothing there (though there was when spell check
worked).

How do I obtain and install the necessary modules into the Available
Languages Module? As there does not appear to be any way to add to it.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on this PC.

[libreoffice-users] Spell check not working

2011-09-26 Thread STRINGER LEON
Hi,

I installed LO 3.4.3 (OOO340m1 Build 302) a few weeks ago and I've
just noticed that the spell check (both AutoSpellCheck and
Tools-Spelling and Grammar...) don't work.

For AutoSpellCheck, mispelled words are not underlined.

For Spelling and Grammar I just immediately get a message saying The
spell check is complete.

I installed LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_helppack_en-GB and I've re-run the
installer with the repair option but no improvement. (English (UK) is
my default language for documents).

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working?

I have had previous versions installed if that might be conflicting?

Running on Windows XP SP3.

Thanks,

Leon

Hi,

please have a look at the bug report (only 91 comments) ... ;)

I think it's principally a Windows bug, especially Win7.
Registering/synchronizing the bundled dictionary extensions is broken,
the user profile (of a previous LibO installation) doesn't get the new
values of the upgraded LibO version.
Mostly *all* language modules are unavailable in 'Tools  Options 
Language Settings  Writing Aids...'.

I've tried a short (by that time still incomplete) summary (based on
WinXP) in comment #24.
With Win7 that seems to be worse.

I had this problem and fixed it after someone on this list directed me 
to something like  spell checking not working in LBO 3.4.3


 
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/spell-checking-not-working-in-LBO-3-4-3-tt3299202.html#a3302339;. 




  Specifically, I found path: 
...\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled 
(C:\Users\sgraves\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled in 
my case).  I renamed bundled to bundled.err.  Then I restarted 
LibreOffice.  After that, I was able to get what I wanted with 
LibreOffice Writer following the documentation to Tools - Options - 
Langauge Settings and Tools - Language, ... .  It took some 
experimentation, but I (mostly) got what I wanted.



  NOTE:  Windows (Vista and 7, at least) sometimes hides the 
AppData folder, even when it seems to say it's not.  In Windows 
Explorer, type C:\Users\yourUserID\AppData, and it should appear [with 
yourUserID replaced by your user ID].



  Hope this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Spell check can't spell?

2011-03-01 Thread Leslie D. Martin
Using US english dictionary spell checker misses misspelled words. I can
have a document with multiple confirmed spelling errors and LO doesn't seem
to find a single one of them when I run spell check after the fact (for
example, an imported or cut and paste document). It does seem to work fine
in spell as you type mode, however.

  Here's one advisor's advice:
 
  sudo apt-get purge libreoffice*.*
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libreoffice
 
  My current install was done with apt-get:

  sudo dpkg -i
 
 ~/Desktop/en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.3-debian-menus_3.3-9526_all.deb
  etc.

 No. Your current install was done with dpkg and has nothing to do with
 apt-get.

 Easiest way for you to purge (if that's what you'd like to do) is to use
 Synaptic: System|Administration|Synaptic...|Search for libreoffice,
 click the topmost left column header (S) and select all the libreoffice
 packages  select 'Mark for complete removal'. Warning; that will remove
 all LO configuration files as well; if you'd prefer to keep the config
 files just select 'Mark for Removal'.

 
  What should I do to switch over to PPA install/updating. I'm on Ubuntu
  10.04/Gnome, BTW.
 

 Be aware that using the PPA will remove/conflict with your current
 (U)OOo install/packages. If you really wish to do this (and given your
 initial post  your understanding of package management I very much
 recommend that you don't), go to:

 https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa

 and follow the instructions to add the PPA. Then update your repository
 (Synaptic|Reload will do it) and install LO.

 If you have questions on doing that, and I suspect you will, then I'd
 (again) recommend against installing the PPA. But if you still want to,
 post back and I'll be happy to walk you through each step.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check can't spell?

 Using US english dictionary spell checker misses misspelled words. I can
 have a document with multiple confirmed spelling errors and LO doesn't seem
 to find a single one of them when I run spell check after the fact (for
 example, an imported or cut and paste document). It does seem to work fine
 in spell as you type mode, however.

I suspect the problem is that you need to specify a language. You can check
if you have a default language set by looking at the status line at the
bottom of the window. The third field from the left should have English
(USA) or what ever language you have set. If nothing is there then go to
menu item Tools/Options/Lanuage-settings/Languages and set the default
language for your documents.

You can also set language specifically for the current document in Menu item
Tools/Language and set it for what ever part of the document you want.

[libreoffice-users] Spell check

2011-02-27 Thread Richard Hainsworth

I cant get the spell check to work.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10. Added repositories for ppa. Purged openoffice. 
Then installed libreoffice and gnome additions. Then installed en-gb 
help and language modules.


No spell checking at all. Not US not GB.

What to do?

Further reading in libreoffice archives shows that this occurs.

Maybe the problem is in the ubuntu ppa repo.

Also when purging OpenOffice, hunspell was deleted too.

Is Libreoffice dependent on hunspell?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check

2011-02-27 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)

Have you tried re-installing en-gb since doing the uninstall?  I sometimes 
worry 
that uninstalling and reinstalling in one action might do things in an 
unexpected order.  Redoing the en-gb install ensures that it isn't missing a 
crucial dependency or something.

Also on the top icon-bar there are 2 spelling buttons.  One of them is a toggle 
button that you need to have pressed in.  Click on each of those 2 buttons in 
turn to see what happens.

Most replies in this list are written at the bottom of threads and people 
prefer 
that.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check

2011-02-27 Thread Don Myers
I've installed LibreOffice on 5 machines running Ubuntu 10.10 using the 
official download from the LibreOffice site. I extracted the download, 
and the used the terminal to remove OpenOffice and to do the LibreOffice 
install. Spell checker has worked perfectly on all 5 systems. On several 
installs removing open office broke the spell checker in Thunderbird. A 
simple remove and reinstall of Thunderbird fixed that.

[Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check

2011-02-27 Thread Richard Hainsworth

From LibreOfficeForums. The problem arises in Ubuntu
a) to get rid of all OpenOffice dependencies, purge is recommended.
b) this kills bits of the spellchecker.

So.
Click on System/Administration/Language Support, which tells you bits 
are missing. Reinstall and spell works.

What do you mean and gnome additions?  I run Ubuntu 10.10, but via the 
LibreOffice.org download page and there was no gnome option.


Also, as far as I know, there is no GB dictionary, unless it it added 
via the GB language packs.


I do not use PPS installs, since it was originally a private install 
made by someone other than the original software creators.  I do not 
know who created the PPA so I do not use it.


Do you know how to install LibreOffice via the Terminal.  There are 
instructions is not.  If you are having troubles with the PPA, and can 
do the Terminal install, that would be my option.  I would dump the PPA 
version and reinstall LibreOffice from the LibreOffice web site.


I would also go to my Demo DVD site so you can see the entire list of 
dictionaries, that I could find, for OOo and LibreOffice.


After the list of common extensions, there is a short and a long 
dictionary list.  The long one is all the ones that I have found for 
LibreOffice.

First you check for word order.
Then you check for word pair frequency.

- From a practical point of view, the biggest hurdle is constructing the
database to be used for checking the word order.

Constructing the expert system to validate the grammar is fairly
straightforward.  Time consuming, but doable.

- From a legal point of view, the issue is patents.  Thousands of them.
Most of which are obvious, and nothing more than use a computer to

[libreoffice-users] spell check, grammar check, dictionary system - my answer/solution given to OOo thread.

2011-02-03 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions


This was on the OOo list.
I decided that it may be something that could be
looked at from LibreOffice's point of view.  My answer
is something that I really would like to see as an add on
for OOo, LibreOffice, and all of its forked lines of suites.

As someone with Dyslexia, the solution is in great need
for those with a communication problem beyond the
simple spell checking in email clients or word processors.
I know over 50 people right now who could use it.

 My version is 3.2.1, US, and the only words it flags of the following 
(from a wiki page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spell_checker) is 
cheque and chequer:


 Eye have a spelling chequer,
 It came with my Pea Sea.
 It plane lee marks four my revue
 Miss Steaks I can knot sea.

 Eye strike the quays and type a whirred
 And weight four it two say
 Weather eye am write oar wrong
 It tells me straight a weigh.

 Eye ran this poem threw it,
 Your shore real glad two no.
 Its vary polished in its weigh.
 My chequer tolled me sew.

 A chequer is a bless thing,
 It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
 It helps me right all stiles of righting,
 And aides me when eye rime.

 Each frays come posed up on my screen
 Eye trussed too bee a joule.
 The chequer pours o'er every word
 Two cheque sum spelling rule.


 Obviously not at all looking at the context! Does it take multiple 
years to implement an interface that will let someone use a better 
complete module? Or is this something that must be added by the user? 
Given that MS word 2007 has a context level spelling checker, and 
schools today are not training people to spell or understand context or 
grammer, it should be there by default!


When I spent a few years in the early 2000's as a substitute teacher,
I found that even 5th and 6th graders were being required to type
all their homework papers, and were not allowed to be excused from
doing some overnight assignment that was to be turned in typed EVEN
if their parents did not have a computer for them to use.  Some teachers
even would not except pin-printer pages, wanting ink-jet or laser printing.
Back then, the grammar was demanded to be perfect as was the spelling.
I know a few kids that relied on their word processor to fix all their 
errors

and did not proof read the final results and then complained that their
computers did not tell them there was anything wrong.

I was glad I never had to sub much for an English class that taught
spelling and grammar.  Being Dyslexic does not help at all in those
areas.

Now it would be great to get a context grammar/spell checker.  When
the word is spelled correctly, it does not mean it is the right spelling
of that word or the correct word for the meaning of the sentence. I am
in much need of such a thing in my own typing needs.  I cannot get
the right/correct words typed since my spelling is so bad and my fingers
mess with the rest due to a stroke.  But when I type a correctly spelled
work [type that instead of word] and no not notice it, it can be a problem.
It would be nice to have a better spell checker than one with a list of
the closest words to what you typed.  I had one dictionary that I could
spell the word as I could say it and not worry about the correct spelling.
That system would give me a list of what it thought I wanted and was
never wrong.  It actually helped to have the dictionary part, and it was
one of those things from the Win95 days that had a complete unabridged
dictionary on one CD.  200,000 words or more with definitions.  It
worked with XP but not when I had to use Vista.  It would be nice for
some add on spell check, grammar, and dictionary, system to be part
of OOo [LibreOffice, or other fork].  It could be very useful as a proofing
tool for those of us that are not good at these types of things.

Thanks Tom.  I am Tim from Elmira NY, the cold cold Elmira NY.
I hope one of these days there will be someone to take up the
challenge to create the solution that I tried to hint at with the
start of this thread here.  I am getting fed up with some of the
threads I have seen on the OOo version of this list.

There is a need for someone to work on a good content/context
checker for spelling and grammar.  Add a mini-dictionary function
to a spell checker would help with people, like me, who may not
know what the correct spelling is, even though you are given a list.
Sounding out words does not work well for me since a normal
spell checker will not handle that.

I use to be a mainframe programmer before Windows took over
everything and MS could do no wrong with forcing people to
learn how to code their way if you wanted it to look like a Windows
program.  People no longer wanted a non-windowed, not GUI, program
not matter how useful it was or how well it filled a need.  So I
almost gave up programming before my first stroke hit me.  I did
do some work with writing spell checking systems from specialized
word lists and codes to help with variation of these words made up
of the root and added prefixes and suffixes.  I once has a floppy of the
resulting compete word list that it could check against that was over
177,000 words.  I tried to re learn programming by making a standard
work checking spell checker.  I could barely do simple things like that
anymore.  I had to give up.  IF I could still program, I would try to
create a simple rules based proofer for grammar and other things
like same sounding words, or words that are not parts of speech in
that placement.  I could do that type of work back when I wrote
Accounting systems right out of college.  Now I would never try.

So I do hope some programmer with the knack of programming
and some good English skills, would take up the call for a free
proofing system.  Even a low costing one would be great.  There
is a need that is needed to be filled and there will be a lot of
students and adults that would be very pleased.  I know I would
and the students in the School district I taught in would be pleased
as well.

Hi Tim,

I don't know of a decent grammar checker for English. I suspect part of
the problem is the language itself: few so-called rules that are really
rules, enormous inconsistencies in the language, etc. If given the
option, I won't even *install* a grammar checker and if it is built-in,
I disable it as I find they are far more trouble than they are worth.
(Though I sometimes have turned it on just for laughs.)

I have a good friend who is an English professor who urges his students
to turn off spell checkers because he finds people who rely on them turn
in papers with improperly used words. (They misspell a word and accept
the first suggestion the spell checker offers -- whether it is the
correct word, which it frequently is not.)

I sympathise with his attitude, but I also sympathise with people like
my sister who suffer from dyslexia. In the vast majority of cases, poor
spelling is simply laziness and/or a lack of literacy. For dyslexics,
it is problem that *looks* like laziness and/or a lack of literacy to
those who don't understand. But in a language with homophones,
homographs, heteronyms, and heterographs, I can't even begin to imagine
how one could code for all the possibilities (says he who has much
better spelling and grammar skills than programming skills).

Consider: Can you count to two, too?

Or consider Dylan Thomas's (in)famous _Under Milk Wood_ which refers to
the 'shops in mourning' -- an unusual combining of words which most
listeners would interpret as 'shops in [the] morning'. How could any
program get such a phrase correct? English really is a wacky language.
