Your computer will soon be able to warn you if your e-mail is likely to offend its recipient

"Ever sent an e-mail and regretted it? Your computer will soon be able to warn you if your words are likely to offend. E-mail"flaming" is rife, but not all of it is intentional."Brief e-mails can be a bit more terse than intended," says Helen Petrie, a psychologist at Hertfordshire University in Hatfield."It's easy to be rude without meaning it."

This inspired Qualcomm of San Diego, California--maker of the Eudora e-mail package--to write software that seeks out wounding words."We're trying to stop people making a mistake they might regret," explains technology chief Rob Chandhok.

Qualcomm was aided by language expert David Kaufer, who studied the alt.flames Usenet group, which has turned insults into an art form."I read 400 flames and coded them for patterns in phraseology," he says. These codes let the software rank words and phrases that might cause offence."It doesn't look just look for profane words, because I can say: 'Oh shit, I'm an idiot,' and it's not a flame at all," says Kaufer. The new Moodwatch software is now part of Eudora. It gives e-mails an offensiveness score by displaying between one and three chilli peppers on the screen, alongside an acerbic comment."

Wer diese Software nicht hat, muss halt selber aufpassen.
