@Alex --- I am probably a walking bad example of proof-reading skill (I get caught up in the story, and let the errors go), but one thing I always do: Every single time I find an error, I run a search for similar patterns. Example, if a hyphen got dropped, and the word "re-mark" displays as "re mark", I search the entire book for further instances of {space}re{space}. Because spell-check won't flag that, ya know.
On my computer at home, I have a list of frequent suspects such as {space}1{space} (digit one masquerading as upper-case I); 11 (eleven masquerading as double-ell), etc. I will try to send that to you sometime this weekend.
@Doitsu --- I am looking forward to trying the plugin this weekend. Glad I will no longer have to schlepp my files to work and paste into MS Word for their grammar check. (I am a user of Softmaker Office, a very nice freeware, and nice small footprint, compatible with Word and LibreOffice files, but no grammar check.)
And if I find it too esoteric for my use, I will take Tex2002ans tip for LIBRE-OFFICE. I have not used it in so long, I did not know they had added grammar check.
