Damn, I thought I was doin' smoe really advanced R&D. But I only have a 
humble feather pen with build in spell checking. It checks all languages 
since Adam & Eve plus a few forthcoming languages. But after what I've seen 
here, thats not good enough for a Nobel Price..I have to work harder...
Maybe some of the languages from outer space will help ?? I just have to 
use my FingerNail Time&Universe Transporter(tm) to get there and learn them.
