This browser comes with a filter tool with various options, allowing you to select or deselect various types of sentence structure.

When you browse a webpage, and have the filter enabled, the filter replaces all sentences of the filtered-out variety with whitespace.

There might be some good reasons why someone would want to only read present-tense sentences, or to filter out sentences with intransitive verbs, or to only read things written in Third Person Plural Conditional Past Perfect Continuous form.

Or perhaps not.

Still, even if there are no *good* reasons, this browser option would still be useful to anyone suffering from idle curiosity, procrastination or madness.

I do some writing from time to time (getting published this year) and one of my frequent gramatical screw-ups is dropping in and out of the tense I started with. It would be nice to have something to scan through and make sure everything is in the right tense. [+] And the curiosity/madness.

This would be useful, but it'd be even more useful if it attempted to translate the offending verbiage to proper English. Otherwise, it'd be very annoying if one decided to pay a visit to oh I don't know... icanhascheezburger.com? [+]

Riight.. Mm-hmm, insane? Well if you're insane, it'd be great, but I can't really think of any time I'd use it..

This reminds me of something that happened to me a while back. Ahh, I miss those days.

Excuse me, I don't \\suffer\\ from procrastination! I exalt in it! I flourish in it!

Or, at least I would if I could find the time for it.

Such a tool would be very useful for detecting some forms of spam, and "translations" from one language into gibberish via translating programs... two things I'd rather not see in my searches anyway.

[daseva] How poignant.
