Well, my code is pretty simple, but it'll get the job
done for now.

Within 36 hours, I'll have an auto*-enabled,
pkg-config-enabled tarball up for public consumption.

Well, you had 1 method, and I implemented it :)

I grokked it 2 years ago. I'm actually pretty confused
why you did this instead of just working within the
link-grammar plugin directory...

It is also possible to isolate where it went wrong.
Right now, I've implemented an all-or-nothing "is this
sentence correct" method instead of highlighting just
the bad parts.

We can put our squiggles on the correct part of the
sentence - the part that's ungrammatical :) For now,
squiggling the whole sentence is pretty good. We
should also check out OOo's linguacomponent stuff -
they apparently have a grammar checker and thesaurus
as well.

Best,
Dom
