We talked about how to delete the resulting PhoneCALLs that couldn't possibly make sense.
Andy, et al:
I personally think (and therefore challenge others to prove me wrong) that a generalized algorithm for determining whether a character string is a "real" word is an impossible dream. Here's one reason why: In 1600, "foole" and "bee" were correct spellings; 400 years later "fool" & "be" are the correct spellings.
So long as the language continues to change dynamically, how can one algorithm cover all possibilities for all time?
Can anyone point to a spell check app that does NOT use a "dictionary" to determine what spelling is correct?
