Lesdyxics of the world untie! Spell checking is easy. Grammar checking is a 
largely intractable problem, at least where the semi-free-form, freely-
foreign-word-borrowing English language is concerned. If they were easy to 
write, grammar checkers would be the norm. (Though in my day, they were rather 
plentiful. They were called 'nuns'.)
