   In a message dated 02-22-14, mark lewis said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good morning Mark,   
      
   ml>i don't think so... a grammar checker only needs the rules of the   
   ml>language... not all the words ;)   
      
   That's quite simple for english and swedish but very difficult for   
   finnish and other non-latin based languages. Even though german belongs   
   to the latin group it isn't easy grammarwise.   
      
    HG> and will also slow down the output considerably.   
      
   ml>slow it down how? you manually execute a grammar checker when you   
   ml>want to... it doesn't run all the time like so many programs do with   
   ml>their built-in spell checking these days...   
      
   Yes I know but a grammar checker does use time as will the corrections   
   by the user.   
      
    HG> The best grammar checker is built-in into your head by reading a    
    HG> lot of books and other literature in your youth.   
      
   ml>agreed for the most part ;)   
      
   BTW, I forgot to mention Radio News that was also a regularly bought   
   magazine before I got my ham license..   
      
   Best regards,   
      
   Holger
