There is none for english, at least independent of a word processor like aspell is for spelling.

GNU diction is the traditional tool for this task. You have to careful with it though, it tends to lead you down the wrong path if you let it because all it does is mark words that tend to be used incorrectly rather than marking improper usage. It also doesn't check for punctuation, capitalisation, misspelling, style, etc. so you still need other tools such as ispell and artbollocks-mode.el. In reality the only way to get a moderately robust solution is to string together applications or libraries in emacs or your editor of choice.
Andrew Cooper
I forgot about LanguageTool which is actually good for non-spelling needs. I strongly suggest you look into that.

Do you still think bloatware isn't proprietary?
Austin Campbell
Unfortunately this isn't the type of thing that can be done both easily and robustly. Natural language processing and especially incorrect natural language processing is exceedingly difficult. LanguageTool is the most functional option, GNU diction is perhaps the most free option beyond not using a grammar checker at all. So use what works for you.

vim's own spellcheck, you could you just write as is and get away with it
Andrew Roberts
Microsoft Word's grammar checker actually isn't particularly good, people mostly just assume it's correct: serenity-software.com
OP is looking for much more unfortunately, he wants a grammar checker which is orders of magnitude more difficult to create, and orders of magnitude more difficult beyond that to create well. Personally this is more or less what I do as well though.

How in the fuck do you compile this shit? Even after installing the 1000 java dependencies, it still fails to compile.
Michael Edwards
I'd just use the build script (probably on the latest release version) personally.
To install or build using a script, simply type:curl -L raw.githubusercontent.com

That's what I did! JAVA_HOME went unset and maven isn't able to find a compiler.
Austin Hernandez
ah sorry, that is odd, you should be able to do something like the following:
JAVA_HOME=jdk-install-direxport JAVA_HOMEPATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATHexport PATH

~$ env|grep JAVA_HOMEJAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-i386/~$ sudo bash install.sh -b -p standalone[omitted text][ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------[ERROR] No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?[INFO] 1 error
Am I doing something wrong? Is java just hopeless?
Isaac Allen
could you check to see if $JAVA_HOME is in your $PATH? other than this I'm not sure what could be wrong.
Parker Hall
I did, of course. Eventually I figured that the new instance of bash wasn't receiving the environment variables for whatever reason. So I did, ~$ sudo bash -c "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-i386;export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH;. install.sh -b -p standalone"
One problem was solved; maven no longer warned that JAVA_HOME was unset. The original compilation error from still appeared, though. I'm giving up while I still can.
