Indeed so. It is already the case, of course, that grammar checkers
exist for various word processors - and they must effectively need
to detect the part of speech of each word in order to do their work.
Grammar checkers are currently not perfect, though. Try "Time flies
like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana": despite their apparent
similarity, one of those "flies" is a verb, the other a noun.


I'm not sure what "time flies" are (perhaps something from a sci-fi 
novel?), but fruit does indeed fly like a banana... ;o)

I've forgotten the name of the British newspaper mongol that has started 
replacing sports writers with bots. 

About five years ago, a company in the US started selling software for 
preachers. You gave it the lectionary reading of the day, and it spat out an 
original three point sermon.

Such critters are available for other software.

Fot LibO, the simplest approach would be to roll it into an extension, a la 
Language Tool's N-Gram component.

It would use its own database, -- sqlite, IIRC --- and it is large --- 25+ GB 
for English.
