Could this be the FM grammar checker that many have been wishing for?

I've played with it a little and it looks promising-- though I miss Word's 
live grammar checking capabilities. But it's free, it works with FM, and 
Adobe is providing the download, so it appears to have their blessing. For 
those doing translating, the plugin also tracks previously translated 
sentences so that you don't have to pay to retranslate.
