I saw something like that (actually a style checker) on microsoft word 5.?
I'm not sure which version, but I think 5.0 on up has this thing.  I tried
it once, and it told me I had a dangling modifier or some such.  Pretty
neat.  It also looks for things like the the problem of typing in the same
word twice.  I don't know what else it has.
