Hi, I'm in no way in the know regarding these sorts of apps, so I hope my comments are OK. I tried the line "Have you considered an organization?" both in TextEdit and Pages, and neither came up with them as a grammatical issue. Two things come to mind for me, first, that question alone on the page, may not come up with the same error as you're getting within the context of your novel. Second, might it be Story Mill itself that is causing the issue, not the MacOS Spell/Grammar sub-system? Try pasting some of your text into Pages, do the grammar check and see your results. If Pages doesn't seem to come up with the same errors, then you may wish to speak with Mariner Software, the developers of Story Mill.
Sorry if this is not the kind of help you were looking for. Later...

The thing that is really getting on my last nerve is the internal grammar checker in macOS. I may write the following sentence as dialogue: “Have you considered an organization?” The sentence sounds like a perfectly reasonable question to me. The problem is, with this and other sentences, the macOS grammar check will come up saying that “Have” may not agree with the rest of the sentence. Huh? MSWord has never gave me that crap. Another thing: I’m sure my writing is filled with Comma Splices. If that’s macOS’s way of dealing with splices its pretty odd. Why doesn’t it do what word does and replace the second comma with a semicolon where applicable? Surely some of you have ran into these odd behaviors with macOS and grammar. Is there a better app that handles this more fluently and with consistency? If so, I’ll extract my StoryMill content and paste it into that app and just do it that way.
