--- Comment #9 from cipricus <[email protected]> --- (In reply to BogdanB from comment #8) We cannot argue in this way. I was just giving a few examples for a more generic problem that has to be tackled on a matter of principle: it makes no sense correcting existing (correct) words! But your statements can be refuted one by one too. Just an example: > If LibreOffice suggests "ouă", you just need to press Ctrl+Z and you get the > right version, without autocorrection Why should we have to press Ctrl-Z in order to write a common form of a very common word, namely the infinitive of a verb? (And "oua" is not just the infinitive, it is also the paste tense! "Găina oua un ou pe zi" = "The chicken was laying one egg every day". Why should one use shortcut to write a simple phrase like that?) Correction is made in most cases in order to replace something wrong with something correct (that's correcting!) not something less frequent with something more frequent - and only considered so by subjective impression or opinion, without the slightest chance of an objective criterion. The auto-correction tool should not be involved in the specification of the verb tense! - One should be able to write a specific tense without triggering the auto-correct tool that would change to a different tense or turn the verb into a noun etc.. There is also the matter of consistency. If "oua" (to lay eggs; also: was laying eggs) is to be the object of correction, why not all other verbs with the same structure, like "ploua" (was raining, to rain) into "plouă" (is raining)? Or even "lua" (to take; was taking) into ... "luă"! Those are not corrected, and for good reason: it makes no sense. But not less sense that for "oua"! - Anyway, we have no objective criterion to separate these cases. The only criterion is the aforementioned: no correction for existing words! There is also the matter of consistency with other languages! Is there the case in English that any correct word is automatically "corrected"? > - the term needs to be changed by autocorrection: "a cumparat 10 oua". If > LibreOffice corrects here, it's ok. No, it's not. Not ALL errors of writing should be corrected. Maybe you are trying to NOT use the Romanian keyboard layout, but use only English keyboard to write diacritics? > > So, it's better to have the duo for "oua"->"ouă" and you decide when to > apply and when not, than to not have the autocorrection. That makes no sense. I want to write what I want, one or the other, both are correct, autocorrection has nothing to do here. > "aclamam" block-list:name="aclamăm"/> This is correct. "Noi aclamăm..." is a > correct form. Why not? Again the same error. The fact that "aclamăm" is correct doesn't mean that ANY form, including a correct one like "aclamam" (I was acclaiming) should be automatically corrected into it! > Activași" block-list:name="Activați"/> Many people press "ș" instead of "ț". > Why to reject this case? It is not the same word, but is better than the > first. What do you mean by "better"??? It's just different: "you/singular (recently) activated it" vs. "you/plural are activating" etc! And so forth. You seem to miss the main point, sorry. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
