Re^2: Splitting text into syllables

OT: using javascript makes the user's computer calculate the score, whereas using Perl (at the backend) makes the backend calculate it, and website owner pays for it. I am glad to see someone placing quality above cost.

edit: of course js can be used at the backend just like anything else, i just assumed it is browser-running js.

i just assumed it is browser-running js Yes, I did mean browser Javascript The main rationale for trying to use a JS solution is time. When typing, there is a (sometimes significant) time lag between what is typed and the displayed Grade Score due to the AJAX calls. With JS running in the browser, the delay is negligible. A decreased load on the server and network are secondary, but very real, benefits.	[reply]
