This is a dashborde type softwhere that lets you set up
unique identities for specific individuals that you
correspond with on a regular basis.
This software makes it possible to automate misspelling
and misspell on perpose without having to think about it.
It allows you to setup specific
words to automatically
misspell each and every time you send mail or messages
to
specific individuals.
The software will send a little cookie that will make the
recipients software not see the spelling errors underlined
in red.
The purpose of this software can be to irritate the
spelling
police especially if you have one as a friend.
You might attempt over time to convince your brother
that
he is spelling a word incorrectly when in fact he is not.
Another interesting outcome would be to see how long it
would take before people attempted to correct your
spelling.
Ultimately the objective of this software is to accellerate
the evolution of whatever language it is applied to.
No misspelling required.

//accellerate the evolution// well, yes, in a tautological
sense, increasing the mutation rate accelerates evolution.
As at Chernobyl -- and was that a good thing? A better way to
accelerate evolution is to increase selection pressure. For
example, by triaging misspelled emails directly to the "spam"
folder, unread. |

Anyway, *serious* language trolls can push buttons *without*
committing errors. |

// *serious* language trolls can push buttons *without* committing errors. // |

Mutter, mutter, gerund, subordinate clause, split infinitive, mutter mutter .... |

// *serious* language trolls can push buttons *without*
committing errors. // //Mutter, mutter... split
infinitive...//
Allow me to promptly demonstrate: <link> |

I didn't specify *spelling* errors. |

I would use it to sockpuppet better. um... not that I
would do such a thing... |

+ This might be achievable for email or IM clients which support JavaScript and CSS. |
|
| |
Embedded JavaScript could detect the "TO" and find/replace words you've selected to auto-incorrect. |
|
| |
Embedded CSS could modify displayed fonts to effectively suppress display of spelling errors. |

There's definitely a left wing & a right wing in this thread.
Power to the pedants! Deport bad spellers! Literacy testing
at the polling sta... no, wait, that's not funny. <link> |

I like the title for an off-broadway production. I envision a bawdy Godspell with St Teresa as the main character. |
|
| |
I was *this* close to asking "Why St. Theresa?" |
|

So basically, this is a way to "encrypt" messages into a form such that, if they are intercepted by a person with pedantic tendencies, places said eavesdropper in danger of hypertension, arrhythmia, infarction, TIA, and cranial bursting. At the receiving end, decryption or grammatical apathy renders the message readable again. |
