Hi Venantius
  Further to our recent exchange of posts to help those challenged by the 
ability to write coherently on Goanet, I came across some detail of this new 
software that may be a godsend to some.
   
  I will quote a bit from David Smith about what appeared in the Observer 
Newspaper, page 7, in the UK  (30/9/07).
   
  "It may come as a godsend to George Bush, John Prescott and any others who 
struggle to explain themselves in plain English. A computer software program 
claims that it can automatically turn garbled writing into clear and simple 
prose.
   
  Whitesmoke, an American-Israeli company, says the new version of its 'text 
enrichment ' software not only checks spelling and grammar but it comes up with 
the word you are looking for when trying to finesse a legal form, a piece of 
creative writing or even a love letter. 
   
  The concept reopens the question of whether computers can truly ever simulate 
human culture..." 
   
  As you are in the field of computer software, perhaps you might wish to 
explore what Whitesmoke reputedly has to offer. Some examples that, illustrated 
garbled text becoming quite understandable after 'treatment' by the computer 
were interesting. 
  Regards
  Cornel
