I just got through digging through some of the recent back issues of
MacWEEK and Macintosh News, and, alas, I can't find the reference in
my head, but there is a product just announced that is designed
specifically as a grammer checker for people whom Spanish is their
native tongue and English is a second language.

Unfortunately, all I can do is tell you that it exists.  Can someone
else out there in netland come up with a specific reference?  I'm
pretty sure that the article was in either MacWEEK, Mac News, or Mac
User in the past three weeks...

		Sorry I can't be more help!
