I agree with Word's grammar checker being problematic. I once did not get a job because I trusted Word. I have a tad bit of dyslexia and was tired while completing the job proposal. I trusted Word vs. manually checking my spelling and grammar. BAD THING!

Excuse me for interrupting, Frank, but I'm a writer who is more than happy working with OOo (under Mandriva Linux) and who neither needs nor appreciates the kind of condescending (and often just plain wrong) grammatical advice I used to get from Word. As a writer I know the tools of my trade pretty well. If I have a question, then there's this wonderful gizmo (you may have heard of it) called a 'book' that I keep on the dest. It's called 'Fowler's Modern English Usage' and it's quite reasonably priced! What I really don't understand is why, if somebody doesn't like OOo, or Linux, they don't just run along and use something else instead, without wasting time whingeing in the support forums for those products they dislike. But then, who am I to comment?
