Thank you for the lead on a grammar checker.
When I am putting the ideas on "paper" the ideas flow without much
concern about grammar. Then once it is on paper I sometimes done see
what I wrote but what I think I wrote.
I like the grammar checker because it catches some of the typo where the
typo is a real word.
their vs there
in vs inn
car vs care
bear vs. bare
Verb agreement is big with me
I could go on for quite a long list. W

But I have a question: I find Word's grammar checker to be more
annoying than Clippy. Spell-checking works because by it's nature,
there is a very low (and easily corrected) false positive rate and a
very, very low false negative rate ('of' vs. 'if' is my bane). But
grammar checking has horribly high error rates of both kinds. I find
the constant, misplaced wavy green lines to be extremely distracting.
And since it misses many errors, I still have to tediously proof my
document.
I Know I'm not alone in these feelings and I wouldn't be surpriused
to find out that there are no plans for grammar checking... But
maybe I'm missing something; what do you like about this "feature"?
