Currently I do believe, Microsoft Word 7.0 does underline incorrect words just after you have typed them. 
 On top of that grammer checkers are not exactly true to the real purpose.  If you think about how grammer 
works, it would take a neural network and some AI experts to put together a real grammer checker.  Why do 
you think Microsoft Office95 comes with the Grammer Checker feature default being unchecked? Because in 
all practicality, it isn't a simple program to write.  Sure you can get the very basics with the rules, 
but a computer cannot sound out a sentence.
