Hi Marc,

Thanks for the suggestion. Now, all the plugins are
complied and installed. However, the grammar checker
doesn't seem to work. I've created a few incorrect
sentences to see what it does. For instance, I wrote a
question leaving out the question mark but the grammar
checker did not catch the mistake. I also placed two
articles after one other but the grammar checker did
not see it as incorrect. Neither the lower case “i”
pronoun was caught. It also didn't indicate to revise
a passive sentence. So what does the grammar checker
in fact do?
I also couldn't find the thesaurus among the plugins.

Thanks,
J Mak
