   @lianna It's not FOSS, but I use https://languagetool.org/ and really like it. Has plugins for browser, libreoffice and thunderbird.

     @lianna
     I can also recommend LanguageTool.
     @tripplehelix
     At least the core is distributed under the LGPL (look for "source code" on their website).

     Does anyone know #OpenSource #FreeSoftware that can not only provide #spellchecking but also #language style checking, for the lack of a better term?

     For context, I would like to counteract the online US cultural influence on me by re-modifying my language style to be consistent with the British English I learnt when I was little. Spelling differences like o/ou are only a small part of it though.

     Vocab, slang, phrasing are aspects not covered by spellcheckers.
