BTW, I recently stumbled upon the free
LanguageTool style and grammar checker. Like most commercial grammar checkers, it's far from being perfect, but might be useful as a final sanity check. (You can see it at work
here.)
Since it supports checking text from the clipboard, you could switch to Book View mode in Sigil, copy the text to the clipboard and have it checked by pressing CTRL+Y in LanguageTool.
The neat thing about this checker is that rules are defined as regular expressions; i.e., new rules can be easily added manually or via a web-based
rule editor, which will generate the required XML code for you.
