That may be the only use for them.  From their advertisements 
and documentation, Grammatik & Sensible Grammar look worse than
useless for competent speakers of English.  I ordered Correct Grammar,
and a lot of good skull-sweat went into it, but it's of no practical use.
Some of its suggestions are intelligently wrong; none has been better
than what I'd written.
	It has some severe functional misfeatures, which the president of the
company says they'll fix in the next release, and it has Working Software's 
standard file-corruption problem [as in Spellswell].
