Grammar checker for Libreoffice

I tend to use libreoffice for writing. Simple, easy to use, runs on linux and windows. What more could I want?

How about a working grammar checker? The languagetool extension fits the bill (mostly). It's easy to install and gets many of the simple errors. It's not perfect, sometimes gets confused, but I've been finding it useful. Everything it flags may not be incorrect, but is worth examining. Often what it flags is confusing, even if it is really correct.

I give it my five skulls for excellence.

  1. Afaik, it's the best you can find on the Net, and it gets better all the time. Also available directly from its website (www.languagetool.org) where you can find a Firefox extension too.
