Having thought about it a bit this may implicit that state-information of the grammar checker is not much use at all. To take the example you suggested in another posting: If 'email' or 'e-mail' were to used consistently it will be a difference if you start with the first paragraph that uses 'email' or with the 25th that uses 'e-mail'. Thus I'm wondering if the conflict that seems to be at hand here can be solved. Or if we have to decide between one or the other. > I think it is worth doing this.

Good point. +1 Since it will be no trouble at all to provide this extra argument if the grammar checker is still allowed to just ignore it. ^_~ And on the other it allows some dedicated developers or translators to provide the text for that language.
