Ther germant dicts i tried suck. personally i have no problem writing my messages is english. sad but true, not all of my folks would understand my messages if i wrote the in english, that is why i don't want to use the dict. another argument is that i don't use correct spelling, and words that don't really exist, which would change if i found a germna dictionary that is as awesome as the english one, that ships with illume ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
