Given your stated use case, one thing you could do to improve this thing is to filter out obscure homophones of common words. Calling out "aweigh" over the table is just going to produce confusion.
- jazzychad 16y agoYes, I'm planning on adding ways to "Flag this word" as inappropriate, hard to spell, hard to pronounce, just no good, etc... and can send them to the blacklist. Easier to let other humans do that on a case-by-case basis rather than me comb through the entire list :)
- sgibat 16y agoWhy not use a list of the x most common english words between 4 and y letters long?

- jackowayed 16y agoBecause that still doesn't get rid of homophones or hard-to-spell words. But he does seem to use a list of common-ish words. I haven't seen fungible, pulchritudinous, or similar words that the average person may not know.
