Could you point me where that dictionary can be found.
I also would like to see some grammer rules in Kword etc... About 1 in
10 people have dyslexie. And I believe this group is largly ignored by
properiarity makers. I hope that a free software culture could make the
adaptations.
If the developers of Kword and KDE would like to see into it. I could
make a pre-study of wath could be done. I even could talk with the
minister of education in Belgium to get some subsidies to develop the
software. But then I got to be sure KDE devolopers will adopt it.
I think schools could hae a great use for it.
