    I have been looking to install spell checkers on LibreOffice but I could not find any stand alone Grammar checkers for LibreOffice.

    Does anyone know any Grammar checker, like Grammarly, for Ubuntu?

    There was a solution posted on Grammar checking program for LibreOffice but that required Java to be installed.

    I am looking for a Grammar checker that does not need additional features installed.

      Sorry, I didn't understand why this question is marked as duplicate? If you read the question, it is clearly a question about Ubuntu, not LibreOffice. I too need to know this but for Ubuntu (so that everything on Ubuntu including skype, documents, notes gets checked for GRAMMER and not only spelling.)

      @KumarA. The answers that the question asked were about LibreOffice, since the first sentence of the question post is about LibreOffice particularly. I personally agree with closing this as a duplicate. I've since edited the question title. I think there should be a new post about grammar checkers in general (like Grammarly).

    Grammar check is not perfect it tends to do better as you type. You can file a bug report if you wish

    I just installed lightproof using the command prompt but LibreOffice didn't distinguish between "their" and "there" and "where" and "we're" (see image: i.imgur.com/MQWDzaR.png) How do I submit a bug report?
