Summary: Country variant grammar

Initial Comment:
For most of the supported languages there is a country variant String array. Do 
you plan to support country variant grammar rules like you would have in 
spelling? Also do the rules currently specify the country variant for which it 
applies or do they apply countries to all by default?

e.g.

May be identified as errors by a British-English grammar checker, but not a 
US-English grammar checker:
(1)    The names given to the characters were “Annabelle,” “Zach,” and “Cody.”
(2)    She practiced playing the saxophone
(3)    I lost my key
Rationale
(1)    The sentence uses US-English punctuation (where punctuation appears 
inside of quotation marks)
(2)    The sentence uses the noun ‘practice’ instead of the verb ‘practise’ (a 
distinction not recognised in US English)
(3)    In British English, the sentence should include have  – i.e. I’ve lost 
my key

(2)    He’s got much better at tennis
(3)    He had a sawn-off shotgun
Rationale
(1)    The sentence uses British-English punctuation (where punctuation appears 
outside of quotation marks)
(2)    In US English, the past participle of ‘get’ is ‘gotten’ – i.e. He’s 
gotten much better at tennis
(3)    In US English, the past participle of ‘saw’ is ‘sawed’

Message:
Now it's implemented in full. Some of your suggestions were included
(got/gotten), and some are already included by the speller.

Message:
There is some progress for this in upcoming version 1.8: we have support
for specifying country variants. Moreover, British and American spellers
(different ones) have been added. The only thing missing is support for
variants in XML rule files.
