A Spellchecker Used to Be a Major Feat of Software Engineering
In some ways, I think computational linguistics (for English) has missed a mark. We have dictionaries, lexicons, grammar engines, spell checkers, pluralization rules, and quotation disambiguation. You'd think we could roll all these into a unified, standard definition format.
My KeenWrite editor, for instance, uses:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/KeenSpell (spell check, lexicon)
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/KeenQuotes (curls straight quotes)
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/KeenWrite/blob/main/R/pluraliz... (pluralization)
I was looking at integrating LanguageTool[0] for grammar and realized that it has partial functionality for KeenQuotes (lexing and tokenization), duplicates the SymSpell algorithm used by KeenSpell, and because it offers grammar corrections it likely can pluralize words, as well.
Unifying those for English alone would be a massive undertaking.

KeenQuotes: A utility to change straight quotes into curly quotes
KeenQuotes is a utility to help with post-processing plain text documents, such as Markdown. There's no support for HTML elements, yet, nor will it ignore preformatted text sections (such as code snippets).

A Spellchecker Used to Be a Major Feat of Software Engineering
Reminds me of a dumb project I did that takes a person's name and returns a name that is close, but not quite right: https://github.com/rzimmerman/shitty-autoreply
The idea was to set up an auto-reply to my email that looked automated, but surely couldn't be because it messed up the sender's name. Not nearly as clever as Peter Norvig's program and even less useful.
I'd say the bias toward common American names is a bug, but given that the goal of the project is to be obnoxious it's probably a feature.
What are some alternatives?
