("We Have a Pope!") as they waited, waving flags from around the world.Ĭardinals have been locked up behind the Vatican walls and cut off from the outside world since Tuesday, meeting in a sublime Renaissance chapel swept for recording devices and installed with scramblers to prevent any communication.

If you keep this in mind and use WhiteSmoke in ordinary circumstances on common texts, the error detection and correction rate will be very high. If you wish to report an error, please click the "Do you think we missed an error?" link and send us your examples. If you clicked on "Check" and WhiteSmoke did not detect a mistake, you will receive a window saying: "WhiteSmoke has finished checking your text. We recently added a new feature where users can report us about missing grammar corrections. If you believe that WhiteSmoke did not detect an error but should have, we encourage you to send us an example of a non corrected sentence. Thus, for example, WhiteSmoke will not offer relevant corrections for extreme spelling mistakes (xhdlsdsdley), nonsensical semantics (The apple ate the bee.), or abnormal grammar and sentence structures (Thinking I mind am gone mountain walk.). Errors made on purpose are fundamentally different to ones that occur in the natural flow of writing. It uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to correct errors that are commonly made in the process of writing. WhiteSmoke is optimized to correct the majority of mistakes in written English texts. While it comprises several writing tools, such as a dictionary, a thesaurus and ready-made letter templates, its core feature is its advanced grammar checker. WhiteSmoke is the most comprehensive grammar checker in the world today.
