------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Sep 30 05:55:54 +0000 2010 ------- I do wish OpenOffice Writer grammar checking could provide the same writing feedback as Grammatik 2.0 for Windows (and Mac) from the early 90's. Grammar checking is useful when analysis provides instruction and external reference to a literary tool such as Strunk and White. This external reference closes the educational loop for a writer's instruction and provides leads for further investigation. For instance, use of passive voice might be flagged as "{Passive voice}, consider revising to use active voice; Strunk and White, The Elements of Style - p18, [14. Use the active voice]" Grammatic also provided a useful complexity rating for reading level of your writing work. 6th grade level is near perfect for "communication". Grammatik originally rated my writing at 12-13th grade... "Not so good." I was able to improve my writing level using Grammatik feedback. Both types of feedback are highly useful when learning to improve written communication. The first says what writing issue to fix, the second rates your writing success. This tool greatly helped improve my writing skills, and I'd like to see a grammar tool of this caliber included with OpenOffice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
