I have never yet come across a grammar checker worth its salt. non-N
American speakers of English (and I image Phil is just such) should be
aware that N Americans (the US is worse) teach that there is a fixed
set of "rules" of English grammar; unfortunately, they can't agree on
the rules and you find people educated in different places who have
different views on "the rules".
The grammar checkers I've encountered were evidently written by people
who believed this and who also seemed to feel that one should never
write for anyone with a mental age in double figures.
