Tools to help with Anglish writing.
- Words that have multiple parts of speech (such as Noun:Verb) aren't detected in search.
The Anglish Wordbook "meanings" often have "a" or "an" or "the" in front of nouns, automatically remove it.
For each English word, return to its dictionary form (lemma) and generate all possible conjugations and declensions, then return the mixed results in the sidebar.
Some Anglish spelling results don't have the full respelling, just the words that need respelling. This needs special care. As an example, the respelling of "the British Sea" is "Britisc".
The editor will show an orange underline if there's a Germanic alternative, and a red underline if there's an Anglish alternative. Anglish is prioritized.
- Germanic
- Tell the user when there is a Germanic alternative to a word
- Warn the user if the word is not found in the Germanic Thesaurus (can be turned off editor-wide or for one word. that word can be saved as a part of an ignore list)
- Anglish
- Tell the user when there is an Anglish alternative to a word
- Show the different senses (adjectives, verbs, nouns, different definitions, etc)
- Show the alternative (proper) spelling of Anglish words
- Have a second dictionary consisting of Anglish words with
- Eventually have an Anglish to English translator (far future)
- Romantic (far future)
- The inverse of English to Germanic, show Romantic equivalents to Germanic words
- Anti-Romantic

- Option to hide Anglish spellings
- Option to hide Germanic alternatives
- Option to hide Anglish alternatives
- Option to show additional information about word alternatives, such as their forebear, whence it is taken from, and the notes
- Ability to dismiss a suggestion or suggestions (for a word)
temporarily or permanently
- Ability to revert dismissals
- Cheatsheet/Help menu to show information on demand, such as the "Anglish Alphabet" Anglisc wiki page
- When converting a word to its lemma, keep information on whether it is a plural or how it is conjugated (past tense or 3rd person singular), and try to apply that conjugation to the word that replaces that one
- Word search
- There is, of course, the standard "exact" results of searches, but in case it turns up none or little, there should be a "fuzzy" search or "more searches" section where it just searches the entire lot and gets anything closely related
- Have the website detect when a word is an adjective, noun, verb, or all or some. If it's definitely one (plural nouns and conjugated verbs will be the easiest to detect) POS, then that will be at the top of the suggestions list
