I wanted to get a better understanding of what you are talking about and found these: http://www.tulane.edu/~kidder/SlipsandBarbs.html "It is very useful to use this guide as a checklist to insure that your writing is clear and eloquent. Most word processors have a search and replace function that can be "programmed" to find and change offending terms or usage." http://its-nt.nmc.edu/writectr/barbarisms.htm So i think now i understand barbarisms, but if dom does not want them in the tree it is mute point but i suppose we could do some peer review and decide what is best (okay so the previous sentence is probably just bad rather than containing barbarisms) This is another part of whatever it is that describes something that encapsulates grammar spellchecking style diction etc. The Gnu Aspell people probably have a better idea of where this fits in to the scheme of things.
