That I understand. I am also quite confident that the tools is being
improved in the new OOo version. I am going to test that when it comes
out. But you are right, no grammar tools is going to be perfect. But as
I noted in one my past posts, no sane writer expects that. The tools is
used only to flag some common mistakes. That is what it is useful for,
not to correct grammar perfectly. If a tools doesn't even do that
minimum stuff properly, then of course it is useless. As I pointed to
queequeg earlier, the LanguageTools doesn't appear to flag the mistakes
that queequeg does in its example does. Not one mistake! That is what
surprised me.

Good to know.
