   Good morning Mark,   
      
   ml>you just nailed the exact reason why spell checkers are only one   
   ml>part of the equation... grammar checkers are also highly desired...   
   ml>some grammar checkers use a spell checker as they run but generally,   
   ml>it should be a two pass scenario... one for the spelling and one for   
   ml>the grammar... the grammar pass may turn up additional mis-spellings   
   ml>which can be corrected then ;)   
      
   I agree but if spell checkers are large (byte wise) a grammar checker   
   will certainly be huge and will also slow down the output considerably.   
   The best grammar checker is built-in into your head by reading a lot of   
   books and other literature in your youth.   
      
   In my case I read all of the Deerfoot books by Edward S. Ellis, then   
   came the Biggles series before advancing to more adult literature.   
      
   Regarding english it started at school of course but advanced by my   
   growing interest for radio by buying QST magazines and for deeper   
   studies german was required because most of the technical literature   
   available after WW 2 was still in german.   
      
   Then as a ham italian was added to the vocabulary but after finding out   
   its limitation to italians only spanish was chosen instead as more   
   usable to communicate with the caribbean area and most of South America.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
