I am able to use grammar check using the built-in Language Tools functionality. But it does not flag particular punctuation errors, namely quotation marks without commas.
For example, in the case of [ “I went to the shop” said Jennifer ], the grammar check should highlight the lack of comma between ‘shop’ and ‘said’, but it doesn’t.
I know I can use autocorrect to replace [" ] with [," ], but this will erroneously change many sentences such as the following [“How are you?” said Karl] to [“How are you?,” said Karl]. Besides, I prefer to make all corrections manually.
Also, I am aware of how the comma may come before or after the quotation mark, depending on US vs UK grammar. The texts I seek to fix use a combination of no comma, US and UK variants, and I wish to make my texts consistent, and to highlight inconsistencies in the future.
I understand grammar check is a complex functionality and LanguageTools is a step behind proprietary tools, but I am surprised by this as it seems like the most simple of tasks.
