Now I'm completely lost, as the spell checker works really well in MS
Office, anyway. (can't speak for Open Office). I don't have too much
of a need for a grammar checker, but I can see where someone might not
like it.

And living in a city is exactly where you would have a moped, since it
is specifically designed more for city streets than highways and
higher traffic roads, such as 202 and the Blue Route, that you would
need in the suburbs.

But to each his own, I suppose.
