KDE for dyslectic people

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right spot to ask this. But maybe some KDE 
developer could look in the the following suggestion.

I'm a dyslectic person: and that means I got diffuculties with correct 
spelling but also making correct sentences. However many people who 
correct my papers notice I always make the same flaws. Now would it be 
possible to make a gramer correction on basis of these returning flaws. 
There should be some sort of private rule book where the computer checks 
automaticaly specifical for the flaws a dyslectic person makes. I should 
be able to configure the gramer checker in to my needs.
Notice, that every dyslectic person makes some specifik mistakes. He/she 
would then be able to fine tune the gramer correction.

Also, it would realy be nice to have a fast word look-up. I can imagine 
a box ik Kword that does a fast lookup of the word thats typed. So I can 
know that the spelling is refers to the correct meaning. The mouse 
should only have to hover above a word to start the lookup. A small box 
below on the screen should then give the meaning.

Often I have to look up. Was it chose or choise, choose. Of, Off, now or 
know... Especialy for dyslectic people who's native language isn't 
English. This isn't a trivial thing to do!

Onno
