Since the spelling checker at this stage is only an experimental demonstration
tool for a limited number of features in a limited number of contexts,
the error types listed below will not be recognized as such by the spelling
checker in all kinds of sentences. Error comments are mapped by a separate
grammar module on top of the ordinary Constraint Grammar analysis, so the
quality of the parser's analysis proper has no direct bearing on the quality
of the error comment mapping grammar, which has to be updated and enlarged
independently. The only direct link is via the lexicon - improvements in
the lexicon will yield a better precision in the spelling checker, i.e.
fewer false positive alarms (correct words tagged as wrong due to lexicon
gaps).

spelling errors, provided the parser can find some - often odd - combination
of roots, suffixes or prefixes from its lexicon to match the word form
in question.
