You're asking for way more than a computer will EVER do.
I'm a language professional (translator/interpret), and a hacker, and
I tell you, computers will
never fully replace translators or editors.
Computers may be useful in such areas, but their work will always, always
have to looked over by a competent, human editor prior to being
"perfected" for publication.
The idea of a "universal translator" (as seen on Star Trek) is just a
pipe dream.
A universal editor would be no different.
No system or program, not MSOrifice or LibreOffice or any other includes
the feature with the level of accuracy/capacity that you seek.

I know that no system is perfect, but I could use whatever help there is
out there for these tasks. There was talk on the OOo list a while back
about a Grammar add-on project, but I do not know it it ever got finished.
It would be nice to have an option for "sound alike" words like "aunt"
and "ant".
Of course it would be nice if I could spell properly, or close enough
for the
spell checker to give me a list that has the word I am looking for.
So does any one know of some free system that would run on Ubuntu
that does more than LO does for grammar checking? Even a stand alone
package would help.
