Let me describe my experience with the grammar checker in Microsoft Word. Most of the time I don't use it. But as you may have noticed, I do have a great capability to write things that are hard to understand. When I do use the grammar checker, I find that the majority of warnings are things that I ignore. On the other hand, I feel that the minority of warnings where I go back and re-write are valuable enough so that using the checker was worth the time I put into it. The tool helps me find gratuitous roadblocks I have left in the reader's way. It is a lot like Bobby. The _best_ test of "is a page accessible" is to try it out on someone, but I would not want to waste people's time doing live evaluations of sites that had not been Bobby-checked first. Al
