Fucking US English spellcheckers in my software (despite faffing about with so many settings to try to get NZ localisations everywhere), have got me trained to replace every 'z' in a word like 'rationalization' with an 's'.
You can imagine my frustration with the way they mangle Te Reo Māori unless I add exceptions for every, fucking, word.
Fucking, fucking, fuck. Did I mention earlier today that following my account is a way to get free fucks in your feed?
Also it would be great if #spellcheckers had a "consistent language" feature. Where when you enable multiple languages like English and German at the same time It knows that when you write "Babys" or "Partys" in an English sentence that it is wrong and should be "Babies" or "Parties".
But when one writes "Babies" or "Parties" in a German sentence that it is the other way around
Currently when both dictionaries are enabled it'll accept "Babies" in German and "Babys" in English sentences as well
Also a side note for people in #silicon_valley that #program #spellcheckers stop assuming every language keeps the dash when combining words.
We don't do that here in Germany and because of that especially a lot of newer ones keep making incorrect suggestions. The hyphen is only kept for some words and some cases
Like in English it is "bus station" and when combined it would be "bus-station".
But in German it would be "Bushaltestelle" built out of the word for "bus" and "station" without hyphen
Dis Masto (#laquestiondujour )
J'utilise @joplinapp pour mes notes et là ou il pèche notamment c'est sur la correction orthographique/grammaticale.
Tu aurais des pistes de plugin pour améliorer cela ?
Ou alors une app externe par laquelle je pourrais passer en fin de rédaction pour relecture qui ferait ca bien ?
Bien entendu je vise du libre si possible.
Merci
Et comme toujours le Repouet rend votre vie plus douce.

#AI #Google #Spellcheckers #Autocomplete #Writing: "Soon after ChatGPT was released, an artificial intelligence researcher from one of the big tech companies told me that I shouldn’t worry about how the technology would affect how students learn to write. In two years, she assured me, only aspiring professional writers would enroll in writing classes; no one else would need to write anymore.
I remembered that conversation recently when I got advance access to Google Docs’ new “Help me write” feature, which is expected to be rolled out to all users soon. Once you have this feature, it becomes the default in Google’s word processor: The magic wand appears every time you open a document, ready to generate and revise text for you. If you want to write yourself, you have to close the feature." https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-06-20/google-microsoft-chatgpt-ai-writing-assistants-artificial-intelligence
