Is it possible to incorporate a rudimentary grammar checker into Scrivener, similar to that of Microsoft Word for the Windows version?

Don’t let me put you off, but…

… I hate grammar checkers with a vengeance - I used to hate them even when using MS Word, which probably has one of the least bad. The main problem (I’ve found) is too many false negatives, which then tend to blind the user to the true negatives, and the undiscovered negatives (for example, it probably wouldn’t have liked “least bad” in the last sentence). I imagine that a checker which is rudimentary would only, unfortunately, increase the error rate.
