Do you have any idea what a fault tolerant parser is? 

It doesn't have anything to do with fuzzy logic if you're curious.

Such a parser isn't exactly something you can hack together. If that were the

of sourceforge crowd, which is not the case.

I doubt you know enough of language theory to talk about it.
