The built-in English grammar checker (Lightproof) does not know many rules. It does not mean, that "B) grammar check is not usable at all". It works as designed. Spell checkers and grammar checkers are UNO components, so users don't have to use the standard, built-in ones, but it is possible to use alternatives. Examples include Zemberek (Turkish spell checker), Voikko (Finnish spell checker), Duden Korrektor (German), and LanguageTool (grammar checker for many languages).
