Shaun, I assume that you know that RightWriter allows you to change the
reporting of many rules and to customize it's checking as well.  It
also allows you to add in dictionaries of special words like
Engineering terms.

I use both RightWriter and Grammatik.  I have found that the reports
from RightWriter help me more than those from Grammatik.

What do I do?  I design and develop university level credit courses in
Finance for delivery to students across Canada through a Distance
Education format.  So far I've written over a million words for my
students.
