Grammar checking.

Microsoft Word used green squiggles too but they were exactly the same
shape as the spelling error marks. Abiword uses a slightly different
shape of squiggle for grammar checking to make it easier to distinguish.

I've not used it myself so hopefully others will give you more details
(or now that you know what it is it will be easier to find out more).
