One of the features I like in Grammarian is the mini editor window in which it lists the errors found, the text containing the error and an option to correct the error in that window instead of having to track down the sentence yourself.
Grammarian can be used with C and G's SpellCatcher for a thorough proofreading approach; but even though Grammarian is not a spell checker, it catches many spelling-related errors that are made as a consequence of the wrong word for the context (Fig.
Grammarian reminded me of how flexibly inflexible or inflexibly flexible language really is.

 Language Log: The self-styled grammarian: no respect
Later that evening we were watching the news, and the TV weathercaster announced that there was a 50 percent chance of rain for Saturday and a 50 percent chance for Sunday, and concluded that there was therefore a 100 percent chance of rain that weekend.
The remark went right by the self-styled grammarian, and even after I explained the mistake to him, he wasn't nearly as indignant as he would have been had the weathercaster left a dangling participle.
That's us grammarians, stuffy old bores who drone on about lexical differences and can't tell when to add percentages and when to divide them by the number you first thought of!

 Socrates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Therefore, it is very important to keep this in mind when reading the following presentations of Socrates' thought; none of it is agreed upon, and all must be taken with a grain of salt.
Evidence from the dialogues suggests Socrates had only two teachers: Prodicus, a grammarian, and Diotima, a woman from Mantinea who taught him about eros, or love.
His knowledge of other contemporary thinkers such as Parmenides and Anaxagoras is evident from a number of dialogues, and historical sources often include both of them as Socrates' teachers.

 The Underground Grammarian | Richard Mitchell
HE UNDERGROUND GRAMMARIAN was published for fifteen years by a brilliantly cranky professor named Richard Mitchell.
By the end of its run, in 1991, the pamphlet would be known as the first desktop-designed sheet to have subscribers on six continents; but it was born in 1976 (before the Mac revolution), when the good professor bought a printing press and learned to set type by hand.
We owe the snapshot of Mitchell signing a book at a “Grammarian picnic” to a Radio Free Mike reader from a few years ago, whose name we’ll be glad to attach to this page if he identifies himself again.

 Review of The Grouchy Grammarian by Thomas Parrish
However, I wasn't much further into the book before I realised it was actually full of unsupported assertions that even a beginning grammarian like me could see were dubious.
The device he uses is that he has a friend (the grouchy grammarian of the title), whose clippings he mines for examples of egregious errors.
At no time was I able to believe or pretend that the grouchy grammarian was anyone other than the author.

Since I migrated from Windows to Mac completely about 6 months ago, I have become a huge fan of Grammarian Pro X.
OS X does have a systemwide spellchecker built-in (it underlines misspellings in red), but Grammarian has autocorrect, which allows me to use the abbreviations I talked about previously in any application.
The one trick that took me forever to figure out is that even though Grammarian works automatically in most applications, sometimes it is necessary to turn it on by setting the options of the “interactive checking” menu of Grammarian.
