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.-- vfrackis, May 03 2010 No misspelling required. http://ling.ed.ac.u...ammar/splitinf.html [mouseposture, May 03 2010] Entropy in information theory. http://en.wikipedia...information_theory) [DrBob, May 04 2010] Disenfranchising bad spellers? http://en.wikipedia.../wiki/Literacy_testTempting .... but no.

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.

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.-- StationPilot, May 04 2010 There's definitely a left wing & a right wing in this thread.

At the receiving end, decryption or grammatical apathy renders the message readable again.-- lurch, May 06 2010 random, halfbakery
