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.
The one that I really hated was an OOo extension - language lab, I
think. They had two grammar checker / thesaurus add-ons and I thought
this one was better, then I wound up turning it off because it flagged
every possible error (most of which weren't). I didn't see anything
like this on the TDF site.
You might find it more useful than I did, but again I don't recommend it.
As for stand-alone grammar checkers, you might have luck with Google....
The one on LibrePlanet for LO is listed as LanguageTool. [OOo has it as
well].
I installed that one the other day. Is this the one you hate or
the one you like.
