There is something I never found how to manage correctly on Emacs: advance spell checking.

I know that a lot of modes allow spell check (flyspell, hunspell...) but what I really wonder is: is it possible to reach a Microsoft Word spell/grammar checking level in Emacs? And more than that, is it possible to even go further and provide advanced assistance with synonyms or sentences diversity like some software like Antidote could provide?

In all the talks / tutorials about "writing books using Emacs" I saw, nothing was really clear about spell checking :S

Bonus point: what if I write in French?

Edit: Example of inputs that would be checked/fixed:

This is you're money.

This is they giant octopus.

Can you add a simple example of "bad" input, and what hints you'd expect to receive? – Jul 21 '19 at 18:36
