Enlish Gammar Checker for Linux?


Does anyone know of any linux grammar checkers for linux. I've recently switched from Windows, and I've found replacement programs for just about everything except a grammar checker. I don't care if it's perfect. I just need something to pick out the big things; like having double words in a paper like "I knew knew he was coming". Of course, I'd like it to do more but simply things like that is what I really need. Even if it only had a 30 percent success rate it would help me out tremendously. I find that I can fix problems in my papers if I know there's a potential problem on some line.

P.S. If you want to make a simply dvr in windows check out my website:http://www.geocities.com/black_ultimate/DVRhome.html

As far as I can tell, what you're looking for doesn't exist. This is the closest I could find:

I found that website myself. I was hoping that someone else knew of something else. I guess not. But still, thanks aysiu for taking the time to investigate my question for me. If there are any ambitious developers reading this post, maybe you would consider making a grammar checker. I know it's a lot to ask for, but I really think that good grammar checker would really help linux become more popular!

This page says there is one in the works for Abiword. You may have to wait for a bit though.
