Richard,
A very good idea, except for two things. The first is that there are
programs out there that are expensive and incorrect. E.g., one popular
program always wants to change "you and me" to "you and I," regardless of the
context. You and I both know that treating you and me as identical people,
just because of our involvement in Scouting, is highly incorrect.
The other error is that a word can be spelled correctly and still be
gramatically wrong. But you understand that, too, and I don't have to point
out the other two ways of spelling the homonyms.
