Natural-Grammar
===============

[](#natural-grammar)

A class to process text and auto–correct grammar following the guidelines as described in the Chicago Manual of Style. Close to artificial intelligence, it use natural language processing to correct grammar, like a human copy editor would correct a text. A thesaurus is used to beautify certain words without overdoing it. The class also compares hundreds of natural grammar fragments which I extracted and constructed from reading and editing many (news) articles and books. Any replacements made are randomized through a thesaurus, in such a way, that the text flows natural instead of being overcorrected. It does some minor auto–corrections on justifiable spelling; it only replaces that which it can safely replace, leaving room for copy editors to gloss over the text without the strain of obvious mistakes. As spellchecking is senstive to false positives, the class does not have a complete spellchecker. The class autocorrects the most common mispelled words, which consists of a list of about 200 words, acceptable for any English text.

Auto–correction includes:

```
   Ablaut reduplication
   Adjective ordering  (proposed)
   Anglicized words
   Character repeats
   Capitals
   Dashes
   Diagramming (proposed)
   Exaggerations (characters,values)
   Grammar fragments
   Hyperbole
   Indivisible words
   Invalid conjunctions
   Invalid comparisons
   Inaudible H
   It's vs Its
   Spelling mistakes
   Slang fragments
   Overuse of contractions
   Overuse of conjunctions "But"
   Oxford comma (replacing it)
   Punctuation
   Past tense correction
   Paragraph identation

```
