Subject: RE: BS: jOhn of Hull vindicated at last!
You will see that some words got picked up and correctly translated FROM English into the correct forms in the other language - of course these got translated correctly BACK. It seems that the process 'picked up' a few misspellings - this could be due to grammatical positioning tricks these engines may entail, or some 'spelling corrections' may be embedded - I am not an expert on the internals of these engines.

I have always wondered if foreign languages deal with misspellings in the same way that English does - or if correct spelling is more rigidly enforced. Only Foreign Language speakers - probably natives who either learned English as a second language or learned both together as genuine multi-linguals could really comment, I suppose, or else Academics.
