Fare, not fair

(I’m sorry, it doesn’t matter but I couldn’t help it in a discussion on quality)

In comments on an article about spellchecking no less

  • In this case, both fair and fare are words in English. Which shows that spell checking needs to know a lot about grammar and context to work in general. Basically you need an LLM. Or if not a 'large language model', perhaps at least a small language model.

    • I wonder how it does work, I remember MS Word having a fairly decent grammar checker when I was using it in school - which predated LLMs by many years!

      I suspect an LLM wouldn’t be the most optimal choice
