Hi Talthen,
Another problem you may have is the ability of people to be able to tell
your program exactly what their prose actually means. At least here in the
UK, grammar is barely taught in schools anymore so relying on British people
to be able to codify their writing correctly might not be possible. For
example, I'd hazard a guess that a reasonable proportion of the population
wouldn't even be able to define what a pronoun is, let alone tell you
whether they were using the word 'me' as a direct or indirect pronoun (which
your program would need to know).
I'm not trying to discourage you, I'd love for this to be achieved, just
mentioning something else you might want to think about.

Subject: Re: [Wikipedia-l] An idea. What do you think about this?
The idea that
such "perfect language" is possible to create is very
intuitive.
Yet, nobody have made it so far, so it's
probably much harder than it
seems.
Sure, but have you ever heard about anybody who tried it as an Open
project?
Microsoft spend many years and cash on creating its
Windows OSes, but
Linux
is so better...
I think my idea may be realized, but I can't do this just by myself...
Regards,
Talthen
