I have been using 1.3 for sometime and recently downloaded 1.9X. I am
impressed with the new version and would like to make it my primary

works and most higher power word processors for some time, that is the
ability to check grammar.
Will Open Office 2.0 have a grammar checker, or is there a plugin to
provide this function for this and/or the earlier versions.
I will say this from someone that loved the idea of a grammar checker
and purchased some of the first ones on the market back in the windows
3.1 days. They are not that good.
I am terrible at grammar as I hated english and language arts in school.
But I found that the grammar checkers were no real help in most cases.
Do I miss a grammar checker? No, I haven't thought about one in years.
Unless you are as old as I am or older (I'm 70), you didn't
miss anything in school. They don't teach grammar any more
in the US. I've heard the same thing about the UK, but have
no personal experience.
