Hey Tony,
Yup. I'm in Houten. Why do you ask?
No problem about the code... you did me a favour in a way by giving
me an interesting problem.
Dunno about the dictionary but I'd personally not go down that route
'cause you don't know what's there and what's not. THere was a thing
going around a while back that the suggestion offered by the spelling
tool for ZZZZZZ was "Sex" :-) I don't know if that's true though.
I think probably the best way to search for acronyms is to compare
against an already compiled list.
Anyway good luck... and I really would appreciate feedback on the
multilinguality thing. If you need anything else please do ask...
though I'm not promising I'm up to it :-)
Regards
Lisa
