I'm getting fed up as increasing senility means I tend to write gibberish more than before.
Can anyone recommend a suitable program to download?

I know; One of our translators, doing simultaneous translation on the Irish Minister of Aviation, once translated, "The sacred cause of European unity" as "les vaches sacrés ...." which was probably an improvement on the original.

There was that (apocryphal?) farewell speech in French to his colleagues by a British Eurocrat - 'when I look at my behind, I see it is divided in two halves' :)
