O matko... ciekawy watek ale nie wiem czy serwery sie od tego nie zatkają...
Mam w kolekcji kilka książek o tej tematyce i by wkleić chociaz 10% to by zajęło z kilkanaście "odpowiedzi" (bo mają ograniczoną objetość)

powodzenia:)

PS. Niczego nie obiecuję, mam niewiele wolnego czasu, postaram się coś napisać w tym temacie.

PS2. Proponuję osobom zainteresowanym tym tematem by robiły sporo ćwiczeń w dyktowaniu i to z kilku powodów:
1. Ćwiczymy pisownię i przy okazji osłuchujemy się z językiem
2. Można stworzyć swoją listę trudnych słów, np. w edytorze tekstu i ćwiczyć je w np. odrębnej liście słówek
