Re: [tdf-discuss] Grammar Checking in Writer

There has been known problems of Lightproof not being good at detecting
certain phrase strings, I myself only rely on the spell check for LO and
have resorted to the prowess of my human eye and the plethora of free
websites that dedicate themselves to spell and grammar checking. I
notice that there has not been a major release for lightproof for awhile
now, Also despite my looking there seems to be nothing to indicate
whether or not there has been any recent development recently

I trust that this website: http://grammarbase.com will be of help in the
future

PS: upon rereading your problem I realised I at some point had the same
problem. My problem was when I had LO on my ubuntu machine due to my
locale being New Zealand and there not being a New Zealand dictionary
installed the automatic language of LO was en_NZ and thus lightproof was
ineffective, Upon a quick google search I came across this link which
could perhaps be of 
some benefit:
