   Most kids need to see the expression "Which whitch is which" in print the   
   first time.  Don't see why a computer program should be any different.  I'd   
   say if you combine a grammar checker with voice recognition software, you'd   
   get something that would get the answers right or wrong about the same as a   
   typical human being.

   And many people misunderstand "misreounced" woids.  Many times I just turn   
   on the closed captioning if a tv-actor's accent is too thick for my ears.
