Hi,
How exactly does the "Sophisticated Search Functionality" work?

Well, m not sure - but i think...a normal search should be different from a sophisticated search....
say like u just type in two letters and it gives u a listing of all the words beginning from them.
But it sounds inetresting, I think i am going to try. |

Thanks for your quick response. Does the software also help you kick the habit of chopping words?

Well, just an observation - I have been active in a lot of technology forums and some how I see a lot of people do really care for correctly spelt words.
May I ask, does it really matter if the words are chopped or they arent?
Anyway, we must not discuss habits - doesnt serve the purpose.  |

Well, you might have noticed that our forum is a place for people who want to improve their English so yes, I do think that correct spelling is important. I don't know what purpose you have mind but learning is all about changing habits so why would you say we mustn't discuss habits?

Learning - according to theory of neural networks + artificial intelligence + genetic engineering - humans learn from each other - to learn from each other all we need is to communicate - as long as the NLP <natural language processing> skills of a human brain are intact - it would for sure take care of the short words.
Besides - as we move into age of pure digitization - we start moving towards a scarcity of bandwidth ( say frequency spectrum bandwidth). And if you must know, more the characters are required for electronic transfer the higher is the bandwidth required.
So if u would want to change habits - change it for good. |

| which form is more appropriate? Direct/indirect questions | get hold of yourself vs. pull yourself together |
