[Hamara-devel] indian english spell checker in hamara ?

[akshat]

I don't think its a good idea to spoil the dictionary of a language with
inadequate mixing of unnecessary urban words. However it will be much
better to have hindi words in hindi dictionary by hindi I mean pure hindi
and there also please don't add urban hinglish words and also spoil hindi,
if anyone wants they can make separate dictionary or they can add the word
to the dictionary database according to their need but it should not go
bundled by default with the distribution. Moreover jugaad is not a pure
hindi word its a slang and we should not promote slang on the name of
hindi, much more adequate word bhi prabandh. So, please don't add tadka and
Garam Masala in pure Salad to make it feel like chicken Biryani. If anyone
wants chicken Biryani of their flavor they will make themselves by adding
the ingredients of their choice.
