I have written a Perl script that provides Grammar Checking support within
LyX's GUI:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tools/LyX-GrammarChecker
Internally it checks for a dozen common errors in LyX documents, such as
misuse of "A vs An" and forgetting to put a space after a math block. It can
be configured to use JLanguageTool to provide full grammar checking from
within LyX's Gui. Rather than complain each time it is too stupid to
understand your grammar, it checks your text against ~400 common errors each
of which can be disabled by editing a text file.
It seems be quite simple to use under Linux and MacOSX. I haven't tested it
under Windows but it should "just work" if you are using Cygwin. I'd be
interested to know if it actually does works with Cygwin.
Also if anyone has knowledge of how Cygwin relates to the LyX project, I'd
appreciate it if they filled out my stub at:
