It seems that, after a long period of hibernation in which nobody did 
anything about the lack of a Maltese spell checker, now that one is available 
some people decided to do something - criticise.

An article which appeared in The Times and TMIS bewailed the number of errors 
in the spell checker (even though the spell checker webpage states clearly to 
all visitors that it's a preliminary version and contains errors). Is it a 
coincidence that this criticism appeared just as someone else was poised to 
release his own spell checker for Windows? I wonder.

I've received many supportive messages from different people, including 
linguists. I hope they also send their supportive messages to these 
newspapers.

I sent a response to both TMIS and The Sunday Times, which I also placed 
online: http://linux.org.mt/article/sp-comments
