Common Bugs in Writing
Vale is an OSS tool that you can use as a "prose linter" with many of these rules. You can also write your own rules. Together with a spellchecker its a good replacement for proprietary tools like grammarly.

Just Simply – Stop saying how simple things are in our docs
> Write in US English with US grammar. (Tested in British.yml.)
heh, that was funny but it turns out the file is a list of British words checked using Vale, which I just learned existed: https://github.com/errata-ai/vale#readme (MIT)
Also, another TIL is that the "e" version of gray is British https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/.vale... I had previously erroneously assumed they were just one of those quirks of English (which, I guess is still true but it is less random than I thought)

Tools that enforce/promote corporate standards?
Off the top of my head, Vale and Acrolinx.

Over 60% of Writers Already Use AI in Their Writing Workflow
I have recently thought of feeding the suggestions from Vale (https://vale.sh/) into an LLM along with your writing. Currently I just simply ask an LLM to take what I wrote and put it into a more "active voice". I then manually edit my writing to make it more "active" if I choose -- I do not just publish LLM generated content unaltered.
Note: I did not ask an LLM for this comment.

Is there global autocorrect for linux?
I don't know of a "global" function, but what you use depends largely on where you're doing your writing. It's possible to spellcheck markdown and html files from a terminal with aspell and to find the correct spelling of partial words with look. Some apps, like Grammarcheck can offer you close to global spellcheck. Apps like LanguageTool offer browser addons to check grammar and spelling.

Your privacy is optional
LanguageTool - I liked using Grammarly to check my writing, but it is not great for privacy considering it sends off everything you write to Grammarly servers. LanguageTool is a great open source alternative that you can run locally.

Show HN: Firefox addon to quarantine a tab to use offline with private data
On extensions, for example, I use LanguageTool [1], which is similar to Grammarly. It could be configured with a local server, although I have a “premium” account which sends data to a 3rd party server. I trust this extension to verify my messages on HN, but I can't trust it to have access to my banking account. This is an example of a really useful extension that I'll never be able to fully trust because it has access to all websites, and it sends all that I write to another server.
In fairness, Firefox's advantage has been that Mozilla has a trustworthy manual review process for the “recommended” extensions.
