--- Comment #47 from cipricus <[email protected]> --- I would also like to add that the aforementioned instrumentation of the auto-correction tool for the purpose of writing with diacritics is what lead to most of the errors that I have tried to remove: the goal of getting the diacritics gained more importance in the mind of the initial author of that list than the fact that forms without diacritics, which were meant to be replaced by forms with diacritics, were in fact correct words: for example, in order to write "vacanțe"=holidays, the list contains the form "vacante", meant to be written just like that, possibly on an English keyboard that lacked Romanian diacritics, only to be replaced by the corrector. But "vacante" means "vacant", plural, feminine, a correct word, and as frequent as the other! - Thus, the list of forms to be corrected contain very few words with diacritics, but contains (contained) many words without diacritics that are in fact correct. I don't want to imply that this is necessarily a misuse of the Romanian auto-correction tool, but in a sense I do think that. Without the errors entailed by this use of the tool, the final result may be in fact useful to people writing in Romanian without a Romanian keyboard layout. (Most Romanians use in fact English keyboards, and I imagine that not all are able to use Romanian layout on that, where real keys do not fit.) - On the other hand, that is a wrong, partial and desperate solution, given that all diacritic words cannot be written in that way, and in the end people will either write Romanian without diacritics at least partially (that is incorrectly), or use a proper kb layout, which makes this whole approach meaningless. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
