And automatic grammar correction doesn't work well.

In the old days, when I used to work for Uniplex (anybody remember these
guys?)... we had a thesaurus that would give, when you asked for a
synonym of "woman" the word "dragon"... of course, that got a few
complaints. But we weren't the only ones... everybody was outsourcing
the dictionnaries to the same small set of companies. :)
