Actually I quite agree with you about grammar checkers, so I never
use one (not electronic, that is) I have found that unless you already
have a good working knowledge of grammar, checkers can really
confuse you. I always find it handy to have a paperback nearby, in
which I can browse at will. Which is not to say that checkers aren't
useful; catching typos such as 'the the' is a worthy function, but
then again, some word processors (like Nisus!:)) have macros that
search for doubles.
