Ah! I should have guessed as a recent member of this list, that this
might have been talked about before. I bet you're right too, it would
take a good bit of memory and a reasonably quick processor.

Hi, we have talked about this on the list before. One thing that was
mentioned is that dictionaries use a lot of memory. I agree with you.
One
would be nice. Not only could I correct pronunciation, but I could
eliminate the profanity some authors seem to think is so necessary in
their
books. I have discovered, some authors are quite good if you can find a
way to cut out the four letter words.

11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans
for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you,"
says the
LORD...
