Data entry capitalization error correction system and word processing system with second language facility

A method of typing error correction for a word processing system with a keyboard having a plurality of letter keys and a shift key executed to generate capitalized letters, a processor connected to the keyboard, and a display connected to the processor, the method comprising the steps of:

• detecting, by the processor, entry of an entered two-letter word;
• determining, by the processor, if the entered two-letter word is in all capital letters;
• if in all capital letters, assessing, by the processor, whether the entering was intentional or in error;
• if in error, correcting, by the processor, the entered two-letter word to an initial capital letter followed by a lower case letter,
• wherein detecting entry of a two-letter word includes determining if the entered two-letter word is at the beginning of a sentence, and limiting correction only to if the entered two-letter word is at the beginning of the sentence,
• wherein assessing whether the entering was intentional or in error includes providing a list of two-letter words eligible for correction, and determining whether or not the entered two-letter word is on the list of two-letter words,
• wherein if the entered two-letter word is at the beginning of the sentence, in all-caps, and on the list of limited-length words, changing the entered two-letter word to an initial capital letter followed by a lower case letter, and
• wherein the processor is executed to determine whether the entered two-letter word was generated by application of the shift key or by a different all-caps key, and basing the determination of whether the entering was intentional or in error on whether the entered two-letter word was generated by application of the shift key or the all-caps key.

A method of typing error correction for a word processing system with a keyboard having a plurality of letter keys and a shift key executed to generate capitalized letters, a processor connected to the keyboard;

• and a display connected to the processor, the method comprising the steps:
• providing, by the processor, a list of limited-length words considered unlikely to be intentionally typed in all caps at the beginning of a sentence,
• detecting, by the processor, keyboard entry of a limited length word,
• determining, by the processor, whether the limited length word was entered at the beginning of the sentence,
• determining, by the processor, whether the limited length word is typed in all caps,
• determining whether the limited length word is on the list of limited-length words, and
• if the limited length word is at the beginning of the sentence, in all-caps, and on the list of limited-length words, changing, by the processor, the limited length word to an initial capital letter followed by all lower case,
• wherein the limited length word is two letters long;
• and
• wherein the processor is executed to determine whether the limited length word was generated by application of the shift key or by a different all-caps key, and basing the determination of whether the entering was intentional or in error on whether the limited length word was generated by the application of the shift key or the all-caps key.
