That's one of the major problems with jbofi'e. It doesn't break
gracefully. A program that generated a number of correctly-parsing
variations on an incorrect text would be such a great teaching tool
that it would be the biggest technological breakthrough in Lojban
history. For instance, if the sentence parses without the offending
word, it could output that version as an option showing where a word
was deleted. It could translate only segments that successfully parse
and show which segments are spit out. It could add a broda, zo'e, or
generic label representing a selma'o, that makes the text parse. Or,
it could shift the order of a word so that the text would parse. Never
mind if the output is nonsensical, if the user is alerted at least
this would cause input to fail meaningfully. Searching the text for
these options would probably require signifigant processing time, but
it would be a program well worth downloading for someone struggling to
learn the intermediate-to-advanced grammar. Such as me, for instance.
