Search for the best spelling and grammar checking tool for English language

Question

I am searching for the best spelling and grammar checking tool for English language. I have no problem to buy this tool as long as it runs under linux (OpenOffice)...

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunspell

• Despite its name, it is not for Hungarian alone anymore
• Open Source
• Run on Open Office
• Fairly well-known
• Probably less powerful than AfterTheDeadline/Polishmywriting.com

AfterTheDeadline

• Powerful, it can check style too
• Open Source
• Run on Open Office -(there is also a web-based version at Polishmywriting.com, but I could not achieve comparable results - browser-based versions exist too, making it legible for Google's OpenOffice, Google Drive)
• Well-known
• Still room to grow compared to some proprietary software (but here I am talking about spellchecker for French, not for English, so I can't compare)

For some suggestions. Personally, I have used after the deadling for open office and found it useful enough.
