Re: re grammar download

Hmm - while I know the grammar checker sometimes makes some dubious or
difficult to figure out judgements, and that the spell checker doesn't
always have the most useful suggestions, the spell checker should at
least be accurate. Did you click "Add" to add any words to your custom
dictionary? Might not hurt to clean that out / delete and start it
over, since mispelled words in the spell checker are altogether unexpected.

(It's in c:\documents and settings\yourusername\.abisuite\custom.dic if
I recall correctly - can be opened in AbiWord or Notepad as well, I think.)

Thanks for using AbiWord!
