I defended my diploma. Theme: "A spell checking module for Iradi in Latin script for OpenOffice". It knows 41,000 words and it does not know swear words, the commission laughed at that. Mark: excellent!
Thank you to my supervisor, and to my mother who made me 1,000 cups of tea.

We rehearsed the diploma defence in front of the supervisor. Ten minutes for a talk. I used eleven and a half. She wrote on my sheet "FASTER" and underlined it three times.
The best question from the rehearsal: "And what will your program do when someone writes a word that does not exist?" My answer: "Offer them a similar one." She said: "That is also the answer to many things in life."
