Yahoo! Slacker

Yahoo! Search blog: Announcing Yahoo! Slacker

Spelling Slacker will use our Misspelling API and our vast experience in speling as a Microsoft Word plug-in to ensure you have enough of those squiggly red lines in your homework assignments.

Yahoo! のエイプリルフールネタ。 Yahoo! の各種 API を駆使して、学生がさぼる道具を提供するってなネタですね。中でも、このために追加されてると思しき misspellingSuggestion は面白そう。

Misspelling Suggestion Documentation for Yahoo! Search Web Services

Provides programmatic access to the slacker.yahoo.com misspelling engine, a service designed to automate the removal of that too-perfect sheen from papers and presentations that might arouse suspicion in teachers and colleagues.

Google の Suggest API とかの逆で、適当に文章をいれると間違ったスペルを返してくれる。なかなか面白いですね。

レスポンスの XML もミススペルなのが凝ってます。
