It's easy to write such rules in LanguageTool. For example, this "of cause"
rule will complain about
"of cause" unless it's followed by "and" or "to":
<rule id="OF_CAUSE" name="Typo 'of cause(course)'">
<pattern mark_to="-1">"of" "cause" ^"(and|to)"</pattern>
<message>Did you mean <em>of course</em> (=naturally)?</message>
<example type="correct">The law of cause and effect.</example>
<example type="correct">Of <em>course</em> all these things are
relative.</example>
<example type="incorrect">Of <em>cause</em> all these things
are relative.</example>
</rule>
If you meant to find those potentially incorrect phrases automatically, that
doesn't
seem to be trivial.
