I have never yet come across a grammar checker worth its salt. non-N American speakers of English (and I image Phil is just such) should be aware that N Americans (the US is worse) teach that there is a fixed set of "rules" of English grammar; unfortunately, they can't agree on the rules and you find people educated in different places who have different views on "the rules". The grammar checkers I've encountered were evidently written by people who believed this and who also seemed to feel that one should never write for anyone with a mental age in double figures. -- |Deryk Barker, Computer Science Dept. | Music does not have to be understood| |Camosun College, Victoria, BC, Canada| It has to be listened to. | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |phone: +1 250 370 4452 | Hermann Scherchen. |
