In this text file You will discover the exact grammar coverage of Russian Spell Check 3.31. Please, take the time to study this document carefully.
Buffer Vowel of Prepositions
The following prepositions are checked for buffer vowel errors:
‚, Ò, Ó·, ËÁ, ÓÚ, Í, ÔÓ‰, ̇‰, Ô‰, ·ÂÁ
- - -
Adjectives and nouns are checked. Note that they are searched out in grouped form. In other words, the sentence "Ò‡ÏÓ„Ó ÎÛ˜¯Â„Ó ‰Û„‡" will be checked. The occurrence of adjectives without a following noun, or, nouns without preceding adjectives are left unchecked. Example: "ÇÓ ‰‚Ó fl ÌËÍÓ„Ó Ì ‚ˉÂÎ" where the word "ÌËÍÓ„Ó" will remain unchecked. A different grammar rule applies in this case, which is the reason why this is not checked.
Both adjectives and nouns now are checked in both singular and plural forms. In the tables below You will find which forms are checked.
The program might stop and show "ÒÓ‚ÒÂÏ Ì‰‡‚ÌÓ" and this, of course, is a program error. The grammar routine considers the first word to be an adjective in locative form and expects the following word to be a noun. As it isn't a noun - and this is not a grouped adjective-noun configuration - the user is expected to realize why this kind of errors occur.
In Grammar Check mode, the program will briefly pause and highlight parts of sentences - and then continue to run. This is normal. The highlighted word configurations indicate grammar approval by Russian Spell Check. This way the user can follow the process of grammar checking.

Adjectives and nouns following 2,3,4
In the Russian language the endings of adjectives and nouns are affected by preceding numerical values. Take a look at the table below.
It is easy to make mistakes. But Russian Spell Check is here to aid You
in the constant battle with grammar rules of the Russian language. Not only does it search out correct endings of adjectives and nouns with the preceding numbers two, three and four - You will also find that it checks for the correct choice of "‰‚‡" or "‰‚Â" in sentences. Here are a couple of examples:
Two new cars ‰‚ ÌÓ‚˚ı χ¯ËÌ˚
Two old tables ‰‚‡ ÒÚ‡˚ı ÒÚÓ·
The program also check the conjunction "ÌÂÒÏÓÚfl" for correct usage with "̇" and "ÌË".
GENDER RULES IMPROVE GRAMMAR CHECK
All the rules incorporated in GENDER AID are used in GRAMMAR CHECK. This means an overall improvement has taken place.
Previously, errors could occur as below:
1. 燯 ÌÓ‚˚È ‰‚¸ ÓÚÍ˚‚‡ÂÚÒfl ·ÂÁ ÒÍËÔÂÌËÈ.
2. 燯‡ ÌÓ‚‡fl ‰‚¸ ÓÚÍ˚‚‡ÂÚÒfl ·ÂÁ ÒÍËÔÂÌËÈ.
In the example above, the program did not recognize the error, because it accepted both masculine and feminine endings of adjectives if the noun ended with the soft sign. But now it finds these errors. Example 1 above is incorrect, and the program recognizes the error in the following way:
1. 燯 ÌÓ‚˚È ‰‚¸ ÓÚÍ˚‚‡ÂÚÒfl ·ÂÁ ÒÍËÔÂÌËÈ.
GRAMMAR CHECK stops and highlights the noun in red.
3. èÓ ‰ÓÓ„Â ‰ÓÏÓÈ, fl ۂˉÂÎ ‚‡¯Û ͇ÒË‚Û˛ ‰Ó˜¸.
In the third example above, You will notice that GRAMMAR CHECK also finds the correct gender in feminine accusative. No error in this third example. The word ‰Ó˜¸ is feminine and ͇ÒË‚Û˛ is, by this reason, a correctly declined adjective.
In this way, You will immediately notice if the gender of adjectives and noun do not match. Similarly, all rules that are built into GENDER AID apply to GRAMMAR CHECK.
FREQUENT DATIVE PHRASES
There are a number of phrases where dative is obligatory. If this is overlooked, Russian Spell Check detects it. Consider the phrases below:
ÏÌÂ ÌÛÊÂÌ ÓÚ‰˚ı
fl ÌÛÊÂÌ ÓÚ‰˚ı
The first sentence, of course, is correct. But mistakes like this one do indeed appear among students. But Russian Spell Check does more. Take a look below and consider all the alternatives that are checked.

The combination of words shown above are all checked in GRAMMAR CHECK. When an error is found, it is displayed, as an example, in the following way:
å˚ ‰ÓÎÊÌÓ ·˚ÎË ‡·ÓÚ‡Ú¸ ‰Ó ¯ÂÒÚË.
Here You see, that the word ‰ÓÎÊÌÓ does not match. As a matter of fact, the user does not have to do anything ekse than - simply click CHANGE. Russian Spell Check does the rest. The corrected text is displayed - å˚ ‰ÓÎÊÌ˚ ·˚ÎË ‡·ÓÚ‡Ú¸ ‰Ó ¯ÂÒÚË - and GRAMMAR CHECK continues its work...
The words "obliged" and "forced"

From the table above we chose an example: "é̇ Ì ·˚ÎÓ Ó·flÁ‡ÌÓ Û·Ë‡Ú¸ Í‚‡ÚËÛ."
The error is indicated in red and the program halts. Simply click CHANGE, and Russian Spell Check automatically corrects the error for You. In our example the outcome will
look like this: "é̇ Ì ·˚· Ó·flÁ‡Ì‡ ۷ˇڸ Í‚‡ÚËÛ." In this way all of the above
combinations are checked and in case of an error, You are alerted.
ERROR MESSAGE INDICATOR
As Russian Spell Check encounters errors in documents, it now displays a more precise definition - while You are GRAMMAR CHECKING. Let's face it, folks, that Russian Spell Check does do mistakes.
But due to this neat and especially conveinient feature the user can identify the error immediately - and consequently decide, whether to IGNORE or CHANGE. If You have not registered - its use is hardly mentionable. But if You did register, You will find this feature to be a great and speedy aid.
COMMA CHECK
Russian Spell Check has, since version 3.23, a built-in function, that checks for missing commas in text documents. There are many words, and combinations of words, that requires comma. Take a look at the examples below and consider the powerful tool that has been added to Russian Spell Check.
The following words, and expressions, are checked for missing commas:
‰ÓÔÛÒÚËÏ
̇ÔËÏÂ
ÍÓ̘ÌÓ
Í ÒÓʇÎÂÌ˲
ÏÂÊ‰Û ÔÓ˜ËÏ
ÏÓÊÂÚ ·˚Ú¸
‡ÁÛÏÂÂÚÒfl
ÔÓʇÎÛÈÒÚ‡
‰ÓÎÊÌÓ ·˚Ú¸

ÍÒÚ‡ÚË
‚Ó-Ô‚˚ı
‚Ó-‚ÚÓ˚ı
ËÒÍÂÌÌÓ „Ó‚Ófl
Ó‰ÌËÏ ÒÎÓ‚ÓÏ
When one of these is found, GRAMMAR CHECK stops and highlights the error in red, like this:
é̇ ÔˉÂÚ ÔÂʉ ‚ÒÂ„Ó ‰Îfl ÚÓ„Ó, ˜ÚÓ·˚ ‚ÒÚÂÚËÚ¸Òfl Ò Ì‡ÏË.
All the user has to do - is to simply press the CHANGE button. Russian Spell Check immediately replaces the error and briefly displays:
é̇ ÔˉÂÚ, ÔÂʉ ‚Ò„Ó, ‰Îfl ÚÓ„Ó, ˜ÚÓ·˚ ‚ÒÚÂÚËÚ¸Òfl Ò Ì‡ÏË.
As You see, the commas are automatically inserted. Russian Spell Check is making Your life really relaxed and easy. But this is not the case for me, who is working to make Russian Spell Check become better - version after version...
A thousand years...
To find all grammatical errors in the Russian language, I think I need a thousand years to complete this program. But, of course, if I did not work alone, but had a thousand helpers - the task could be finished in a year!
Please, consider...
