Not sure if that's entirely true.

I also have a suspicion that it gets re-enabled if you have Mark grammar errors as you type and/or Check grammar with spelling checked, without so much as a 'by your leave sir/madam'. More testing needed.

I doubt there's any in-depth review of this thing.
Yeah I know, and most of items are quite old - if you limit search to Past Year you get sweet bugger all... nearly.

Those who have the knowledge to do an impartial review don't write for the hoi-polloi, and those that have the knowledge don't write reviews for software. Most internet hacks would scratch their heads wondering what giving birth or designing transport corridors has to do with writing, and couldn't differentiate a past participle from their grannies left gumboot
