Grammar and spelling mistakes reduce the "credibility" of a
project.  From personal experience, I know that I have decided
not to donate to certain projects, because the project description
had spelling & grammar mistakes (if the teacher doesn't know how to
write, perhaps my money would be better spent on supplies for a 
teacher that does know how to write...)

You can use SAS to quickly look for strings in text, such as
common grammar & spelling mistakes.  If such checks were run
before the projects go "live", then they could be corrected.

I'm including just a few simple checks in this example, to 
demonstrate what is possible...

I look for...

 "will compliment"  (wrong word - should be "complement")
 "the the"   (word used twice, rather than once)
 "accomodate"  (misspelling of "accommodate")
