The one that I really hated was an OOo extension - language lab, I
think.  They had two grammar checker / thesaurus add-ons and I thought
this one was better, then I wound up turning it off because it flagged
every possible error (most of which weren't).  I didn't see anything
like this on the TDF site.

You might find it more useful than I did, but again I don't recommend it.

As for stand-alone grammar checkers, you might have luck with Google....
