You kinda have to when most local spell checkers suck so bad.

I’m quite satisfied with LanguageTool.

It doesn’t have every esoteric variant of words, but adding a few to its dictionary over time brought it up to whatever vocabulary I know.

Yep it’s great, does well with grammar, and it has good multi language support. At least between what I’ve tried, English and Dutch

Most of the time for me it’s not even that the spell checker doesn’t know the word, it’s that it can’t unmangle my typing or misspelling. Teh it knows is wrong, and obviously knows ‘the’, but doesn’t even suggest it as a correction.
