RE: Maxit Simplified English

["Broberg, Mats" <mabr -at- flir -dot- se>]

Dear all,

Pls note that an STE Checker is not a spellchecker, but a checker that
parses a document and verifies that it complies to Specification
ASD-STE100(TM) of Aerospace & Defence Industries Association of Europe.
The standard defines a controlled vocabulary and a fixed set of
grammatical rules.

Anyone who thinks that a STE Checker will teach you to write STE should
think twice. I recommend taking an STE course of at least one week to
grasp the ideas behind STE and become proficient in writing Simplified
Technical English (as the current standards name is).

Best regards,
Mats Broberg
