Speaking of grammar analysis programs, I noticed happily that AbiWord has a grammar checker plugin.

And while being awed by the VISL website, I bumped into this...( I think I might try compiling his app & trying it out as a desktop application .. dunno if he GPL'd it, but he's giving away the source code... )

& also found another working applet ... "Syntax Student's Companion"

Reminds me... on the PS1 there was "Savage Heart" a game focused on programming robots ... and then there's good ol' Bug Brain ..
