[Issue 125623] New: Grammar checker has never worked.

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125623

          Issue ID: 125623
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Grammar checker has never worked.
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows, all
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: editing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: JoeFerrucci56@gmail.com

The grammar checker in Open Office Writer has never worked.  I've typed in "I
ain't got no money" and when checked by the grammar checker, it checked out as
good grammar.  If I were still in school this would be a major problem since
I've never been an English major.  However, I'd like to do some serious writing
for publication and a word processor with a working grammar checker is
critical.

I am able to re-produce the issue that user had created.

Steps:

1. Launch Open Office Writer
2. Type a sentence that has incorrect grammar
3. Press F7 function key board

Expected Result: Open Office will highlight the incorrect grammar usage word 

Actual Result:  The grammar checker is not working as expected

Tested with Open Office Version 4.0.1
Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
RAM: 4GB
Processor: Intel Core i5 @ 2.5GHz

To the best of my knowledge OpenOffice has never had a grammar checker native
to the program. There are a number of third party extensions that do offer it.
If you are using one of these and it is not working, you should report it to
the extension author.

If you believe that AOO should have a native grammar checker then the issue
type should really be changed to Enhancement.
