This brings back the issue of: Should a grammar checker come along with it's own UI to allow customization of options or are we to pre-compile a set of options that can be used? I'm quite confident we here on the ML can compile a suitable list of options for Western languages. But I'm wondering about the possible or required options for e.g. Asian languages... Also a German grammar checker comes along with only a single options that is used to define about 5 levels of how strict the text should be checked without giving much further hints. And having a large set of options that gets not used at all looks odd also.
