Ro> That's given me a great idea! I am working on the IDE for
Ro> MoonRock. If it comes across something it doesn't understand,
Ro> it will suggest keywords which are close to that spelling,
Ro> using an algorithm similar to soundex. eg: "Rowan Crowe",
Ro> "Rowen Crowe", "Rowan Crow" all produce the same
soundex code.
BL> I'm not sure that would help much. Writing code, it's not the sound
BL> (most of it doesn't even have vowels), it's transposed letters or
BL> things like StrLng instead of StrsLong.
The idea of soundex algorithms is to pick up mistyped characters,
not find out which words are pronounced the same in a Yorkshire
dialect of English. BFN. Paul.
