It's not too hard to find what seems to be prior art for this idea, even if it's not a feature you actually see in many word processors. For example this blog post from 2007 shows a screenshot of a text editor syntax-highlighting English: http://www.linusakesson.net/programming/syntaxhighlighting/ Likewise this project on GitHub from a year ago shows NSLinguisticTagger being used in a similar way: https://github.com/adib/ColorizeWords
