Unfortunately, there are those like me who had to go through the business program in high school whereby the only grammar they learned was how to write business letters and which were only aimed at the marketplace - no large essays, compositions, etc.

Saying forget about grammar checker is wrong because not everyone can afford Microsoft Word and transfer Abiworld documents to correct. SURPRISE! SURPRISE! So in a long winded way, I am saying do not forget the little people and have a grammar checker, but get someone who knows the rules of grammar to make it, not a business person.
