Lightproof grammar check

I have installed Lightproof on OOO3.1.1, restarted OOO entered this text:

"This sentence is a grammar nightmare? There did by no way to sense make of this. Grammar checking are useless is will you get hosed."

and LT did not flag any errors.

As far as I am concerned, LT is worthless, unless someone can point out my error in using LT.

LanguageTool and Lightproof

Hi,

LanguageTool 0.9.4 and Lightproof 1.0 are different programs. English grammar checking rules of Lightproof are mostly limited
to punctuation checking yet, unlike the LanguageTool grammar checker extension. You can update LanguageTool here: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/languagetool

A possible issue with Lightproof: broken Python–UNO Bridge on Mac OS X (Issue 92661). A fix from MultiRacio: http://www.multiracio.com/eurooffice/news/mac-patcher-released

I have successfully tested Lightproof 1.0 also with OOo 3.1 RC 1, but only on Windows. If you have installation problems, you can remove all extensions by deleting the uno_packages folder, see LanguageTool extension page for the instructions.

Best regards,
László
