ROTFL! That is really cute, that one. ar_much_air. Sorry, but we rarely get
an ocasion to laugh on this list. Even if it is a little blindish sence of
humour.

I take that back it is better than I thought. I still had an error in my
script that adds blank lines. There are only 200 back translation issues
with the old code verses 8600 which is really nice. Many of the back
translation issues that still exist need to just be special cased. For
example armchair back translates to armuchair.

John you were correct. I changed back to the old function in the 2.5.3
release and I went from 8600 back translation problems to 400. I don't know
what else it breaks but should I go ahead and make a diff of this and send
it to the list? It sure looks much better.

The problem is in the function isEndword in lou_backTranslate.c . It is
supposed to determine whether a potential contraction is followed by
something that could be part of a word. It was working. However, when I
tried to fix some reported bugs sometime last year that evidently made it
worse.

right but somehow it thinks it should back translate the m as if it is a
word. I thought the word directive would only back translate if it was by
itself is that not the case?
