Grammatik Mac is a very efficient and powerful tool, but, it does have a few
flaws:
Someone mentioned that they had heard it didn't deal with quotes well.
This is true, it seems to remove certain characters around a smart quote.
Also, (at least on Microsoft Word 4.0 documents) it has a nasty habit of
removing footnotes and footnote markers and shuffling them either to the end
of the paper (hence they are then end-notes, not footnotes) or putting the
footnote at the bottom of the page and forgetting about the superscripted
number. Other than that, it is a wonderful program, although you will have to
wade through heaps of silly comments about the word "however" and overly long
sentences.
