Is there a tool for automatically checking English grammar?

Is there a tool for automatically checking English grammar? I need to run through a document and check that it contains proper English grammar. My toolset for spell-checking for words include ispell and OpenOffice, but they seem only to do spell-checking.

"You can use LanguageTool. From the site:

An Open Source language checker for
English, German, Polish, Dutch, and
other languages. This is a rule-based
language checker that will find errors
for which a rule is defined in its XML
configuration files. Rules for more
complicated errors can be written in
Java. You can think of LanguageTool as
a tool to detect errors that a simple
spell checker cannot detect, e.g.
mixing up there/their, no/now etc. It
can also detect some grammar mistakes.
It does not include spell checking"
