The main performance should change too, I mean when we send a 100 character phrase for example, how long does the grammar checker takes to check a phase. And now a paragraph with 1000 characters, how long?
You can not make any assumptions about the speed of the grammar checker. For example John where james had had had had had had had had had had had the teachers approval. will take longer to correctly punctuate than This is john this is jane see john run see mary run look they are running after the ball the dog caught the ball the dog is scott scott belongs to jane. [I am assuming that it obvious how and why it takes longer to correctly paparse, and correct the first example, than the second example.] Consider, for example: "andikuhambani ensikolweni". To check that sentence, the root word has to be determined, then the appropriate concords have to be determined. That result has to be checked against the word. Then the procedure has to be repeated for the next word. Then the concordances have to matched up, to determine that they correctly correspond to each other. Every time an error is found, the entire process has to be repeated from the beginning. In the time it takes for a grammar checker to correctly punctuate the paragraph about John and Jane, it might have worked through "andikuhambani esikolweni" and fixed the error --- . preferably without changing the subject, object, tense or number of the verb and noun. [I will assume it will not change the verb or noun to another word.] xan jonathon -- Ethical conduct is a vice. Corrupt conduct is a virtue. Motto of Nacarima.
