Never mind why people won't use grammar-check and/or punctuation-check (when available); when will 'sentence-sense'-check come into use? So as to prevent the unintentional use of homonyms by all us hasty illiterate people...like those who can't spell "grammar"? As in my two previous questions.
(My excuse...and I'm sticking to it: spell-check doesn't work in the 'details' section...like I appreciate that. Hmmph!)

The complex linguistic nature of language, especially english, being the most difficult language in the world to learn as a second language, makes it very difficult to create a program that determines whether a sentence makes sense, and given that a sentence can make sense to one person and not another makes it difficult to even define parameters within which the program would operate. I have made several mistakes in this answer alone, both grammatical and linguitically, but that is how I communicate, and the way that makes the most sense to me, despite the mistakes. Perhaps my individuality and uniqueness is expressed through my mistakes, and therefore to eliminate those mistakes would change my language tone and emphasis to becomeing more mainstream, all for the sake of being colloquially correct. I prefer to hang on to my unique mannerisms, precisely because they are warped and twisted. Thats me, expressing myself through the power of word and phrase, tone and emphasis.
