None of the currently available grammar checkers for any office sutie
are even close to being able to parse text correctly using the criteria
defined in _The Elements of Style_, much less those found in _The King's
English_. Study those books, and go through documents with them in hand,
to locate and correct grammatical errors.

One of the grammar checkers for OOo ais on a par with the one that comes
with MSO2k7. They are about as useful for that task, as a Honda 250 dirt
bike is, for taking a football team to a game in one trip is.

> Is there anyone working on either an add on, update, or extension for grammar check for english (us)?

At least two of the currently available grammar checkers for OOo are
still being actively developed.
