bad in spanish - Version: 7.0, 6/11/2007 03:30AM PST

It performs very bad in Spanish rendering it useless.
For instance in this sentence:
"Como recuerdas hay dos administradores, uno que es Pepe y otro que es Luis"
(As you remember there are two administrators, one of them is called John and the other one is called Peter)
It says there is a plural conflict between "dos" and "uno" (two and one) what is false.

<p>Aside from the fact that some of the comments don't even pertain to the new version, I think some of you need to be a little more realistic about what you can expect from electronic grammar checkers. I've been using three modules -- English and French since version 5, and now the German one. While the English checker doesn't find everything, I find it at least as good as MS Word's checker, and it can be used in all other apps. (By the way, out of curiosity I ran fsvwbug's sentence through Word's checker, which also didn't find any errors...). In French, Grammatica is far superior to Word. My knowledge of German isn't as good, but the app seems to find plenty of the errors I make. For Schmiegel, who complained that it doesn't locate duplicate words, maybe he should try checking the preference for that ;-)</p>
<p>So, no, it's not perfect, but it's the best checker I've come across.</p>

It is dog slow.
It makes changes that you can't see until you go back and look at your original text. Has a really hard time with a selection if you make changes on the fly as the checker checks.
You can't 'go back' or 'undo'.
You can't edit right into the text field without the beach ball of death spinning into a crash.
Doesn't play well with latest mac:Word.
It flagged enough stuff that I wanted it to that I was very disappointed with its bugs, its slowness and the fact that it flagged words like 'The' at the beginning of a sentence and wanted me to make it agree with other parts of the sentence.
