It still lacks the human touch

I ran "tom brosz" through the anagramizer, and it unimaginatively gave me exactly two results:

BORT MS OZ
BOT MRS OZ

It's obviously using a simple-minded dictionary lookup, and so it can't "hear" anagrams like "bom toszr" that tickle the ear of those who know you. We punsters and dyslexic anagrammaticists won't be replaced by computers any time soon, I assure you.
