From: Michael Moser on 9 Jun 2008 11:39 I am regularly writing in two different languages (English and German). Again and again it happens be me, that I start writing and only when the input panel recognizes complete garbage I realize that I again forgot to select the proper language first. Dear MS-developers, let me tell you: This is NOT how people think! When I write something down I want to capture a thought. Thoughts are precious (after all: that's why we want to capture them and what we are paid for) but, alas, thoughts are also volatile and so I want to dump that thought or that idea as long as I have it fresh in mind and I have to concentrate on the content while doing so! I do NOT want to be interrupted BEFORE I write something down! I am NOT a computer! I do NOT have the mental capacity to push my ideas onto a "stack" and then first deal with something else and later "pop" that idea from the stack again and continue from where I left off. If I try that (or have to try that because my machine forces me), then my ideas are very often gone by the time when I try to pop them off that mental stack! Only AFTER I wrote down my thought I accept to be bothered by questions re. spelling and what language that last scribble was in. So, it should be possible to change the input language AFTER the writing and have the SW re-recognize my ink again under the new assumption, i.e. using a different dictionary. That's how the input panel should work! Regards, Michael

The idea of getting something acted on is the stuff of fantasy. I'm here because it's the users who often have solutions and alternative workarounds to user issues which will never be addressed at the source. imho, the main result from trying to get ms act on a user need will be ulcers... and they are not worth it ;-) Beverly Howard [MS MVP-Mobile Devices]

Thanks for your kind reply, Beverly! On re-read my posting seem rather rude to me and as it was not meant in this way, I would have deleted it if this would be possible ...
