i corrected all those words so that they were spelled correctly and i ran it through Word's grammar check and it said there was nothing wrong with the grammar...
Except for the lack of periods!!

I know. It's a complete run-on sentence. I mean, even if the spelling was right, it would still be difficult to understand due to the lack of periods.


Well a period-adder program would be quite unwanted given how many young teens want to get rid of their periods!

Haha.  Well said.

Grammar checker, using Word GCheck as an example, isn't usually all that accurate. Really.

I know it isn't 100% accurate but it's better than how many people on here type by themselves!  At least we'll be able to semi-understand it.

Yeah, but it's still a voluntary action, and seeing as how very few people actually care to use the spellcheck function, I doubt it'd be that helpful. Most people that can type coherently can do it without the spellcheck, or can already type grammatically correct sentences, so it wouldn't be of much use.

This would be too hard/impossible to impliment.

If Microsoft haven't been able to do it over many many years and lots of money, we won't be able to.

I don't see the point. People won't use it, just like they don't use the spell checker.

I don't see how that would be possible...

And people won't use it... not the people you want to use it anyway.

Ever seen the MS Office grammar check? Describing it as useless would be rather generous. We can't implement anything more sophisticated on LiveWire without possibly overloading the server.
