I have looked at the given page, downloaded the extension
Grammalecte-fr-v2.0.0.oxt and installed it on a trial basis.

I must say that I am very fond of this extension. There is also an extension
for LO-Writer for traditional German spelling (see comment 7), but the French
extension is much more comprehensive and comfortable than the German one.

I can only say, “Hats off!” For a long time in my life, I thought the Germans
were the engineers par excellence (and they used to be – the emphasis is on
“used to be”). But when I lived in France (and read French children’s books
with my kids) I realized that the French were responsible for countless
inventions.

One could say: the Germans’ inventions were characterized primarily by
ingenuity and precision, while the French inventions were simply smart and
immensely practical. From my time in France, I remember most clearly the
Géoportail site (https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/), which is similarly
incredible to the above extension. You can add countless details to the map –
right down to the cadastral areas – and visually the maps are very pleasing.
(It was similar with the IGN maps we used for walking.) In Germany, the maps of
the state offices are visually much worse – and, above all, very flawed.
Digital information about areas is spread over countless pages, which are also
cumbersome to use.

Many things have gone wrong in Germany – the most serious mental devastation
was caused by the “reform pedagogy” starting in the 70s, so that today we can’t
even build an airport sensibly. “Reformed” spelling, by the way, is a side
branch of “reform pedagogy”. The “reformers” (especially 68ers) were not really
concerned with simplified spelling, but with “freeing” people from the
supposedly “repressive” character of spelling at the time, “equalizing” society
etc. The spelling reform was really forced on the Germans – and (illegitimate)
coercion is the means of choice par excellence, by means of which (especially
left-wing) ideologues have been operating for over 100 years (100 million dead
can’t be wrong).

If Julien didn’t know about this extension yet, I’m happy for him that he can
use it now, when he has missed such a one for a long time.
