I had the "Grammatic" on my computer and finally erased it all and threw the 
whole thing away.  It's a mess.  I don't know where you are from (the person 
who was looking for a grammer checker) but if English is not your first 
language it would be impossible to get any good out of it.  (You have to know 
when to ignore what it tries to correct - which is about 90% of every sentence 
you write!!)
