All of these and other tools that our users have been trained to employ use the
standard orthography with the appropriate characters. Using characters outside
of the orthography at this point would seem like a step backwards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the creating of an on-line spellchecker – the users could copy and paste their

by our lemmatizer. This can be done, but it is still a few steps behind the functionality
available for modern languages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
