Also, grammar checkers are able to check more than one word at a check, while

I think that is more a question of implementation than a distinction
that does justice to the purpose of spell checkers vs. grammar checkers.
For example, in Dutch it is a pain that the OOo spell checker is not
able to check word groups such as "ad hoc", "'s avonds", "1 aprilgrap"
etc. whose parts are only valid in one combination or very few
combinations. This could be solved using a grammar checker but it could
also be done with a spell checker that is able to look at the previous
or following word.
