[JS] Dictionary

Thank you Trevor,

Beautiful example and a good approach.

After some research and testing, I will look to test the resulat the "Dynamic spelling"

If the spelling is incorrect, test with another dictionary, to have a reponce "True".

This now I recheche the order and method to do it tested.

to be continued ...

Merci Trevor,

Belle exemple et une bonne approche.

Après quelque recherche et test, je vais regarde pour tester avec le resulat du "Dynamic spelling"

Si l'orthographe n'est pas exacte, tester avec un autre dictionnaire, pour avoir une reponce "Vrai".

Maitenant, je recheche le commande et methode pour y faire les testes.

à  suivre ...

Hi Lipou,

This is a start.

There are probably much better ways.

I've used an object dictionary which you obviously would not want to do. You would probably import from a Hunspell dictionary or the likes.

They would need some interpretation.

Here's 3 words from that dictionary

abundance/SM

abundant/Y

abused/E

The /Y means that abundantly is valid one would have to look up there other codes
