Everything you say makes sense but grammar can be constrained to
sentences and the most responsive way to give feedback would be to check
upon insertion of a fullstop/period (.) rather than at the end of a
block. Of course, I have no idea how much more difficult that would be
to implement... just, as a user, expressing my personal preference. ;)

The block-level stuff sounded satisfactory. But doing it upon '.'
insertion would be just groovy. But then I guess you get into the
debate of whether the '.' was intended to end the sentence and it starts
getting complicated after that.
